I don't know why you would assume that. The Navy, and the DOD in general,
vet movies pretty well before letting them use thier stuff and I'd be
willing to bet that is a Navy CV or CVN.

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.

At last, I have found it! Proof positive that you can't say ANYTHING in
this newsgroup, not matter how innocuous, no matter how tongue-in-cheek,
and
not gather at least one indignantly negative response.

Thanks, Gig... I really needed this last bit of proof before I published
my
dissertation ("Flame Wars and Hypersensitive Aviators: An Analysis of
Dispute in Rec.Aviation.Piloting"), and you have given it to me! With any
luck, I can get this to the committee today and get hooded at the December
graduation. Wooo-hooo!



I would hardly call my response a flame or in any way hypersensitive and I
would defeinatly not call it an indignantly negative response.

But please feel free to use your response to defend your disertation. I'm
sure you'll look good in the cap.
