Don't they have *anyone* checking the footage to even remotely

You may or may not have liked "Top Gun" but I wouldn't call it a bad
movie. I can't think of a DOD supported film in the last 10 years that
would fall into the really sucks column.

Does *anyone* on a piloting newsgroup NOT like "Top Gun" -- undoubtedly the
best flying movie of all time?
