Like bees to honey, and flies to…It was a target rich environment.

On my initial solo in the T-37....as the gear came up, I clearly remember laughing into my oxygen mask and saying "and they're gonna pay me to do this for a career!!"Poor OP. Opened the Pandora’s chest and launched the aviation crowd into critical shade analyses and commentary.
You know everyone in past or current uniform here has had those moments where we said silently to ourselves, “And they pay me to do this.”
There are few things that scare me in life. Aging, taxes, and the T-37 cockpit.On my initial solo in the T-37....as the gear came up, I clearly remember laughing into my oxygen mask and saying "and they're gonna pay me to do this for a career!!"
And "they" did, too!
Well… not quite like that. The only “sliders” I knew and consumed where on the boat. To add to the great shade stories from other posters, I wore the gold rim AO’s while wearing a bag or in uniform. I later took to wearing Ray Ban Wayfarers when flying, clear visor down of course. I bought them at Keesler AFB on an in and out training hop. Now sometimes I wear both types when shopping. DW says I look silly wearing them indoors. I wear them because they all have prescription lenses (near sighted)!
I got my private and high performance endorsement only flying glass. This is quite intimidating
Late to the bar, are you?What in the world happened here??
Lots of goosebumps watching that!! Wonder if it will also be an IMAX release?NEW Top Gun 2 trailer:

We have similar tastes. I regularly quote from “The Princess Bride,” “A Christmas Story” and “Top Gun.” Round out my top five with “When Harry Met Sally” and “Witness.”Tombstone
