This article reminded me of the quote from #topgun

“What you should have done was land your plane! You don't own that plane! The taxpayers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash!"

Florida’s ego is writing checks @citizens_fla can’t cash.
Loading up @citizens_fla with high dollar policies at subsidized rates puts the risk on the backs of hardworking Floridians. More government is NOT the solution to this problem, in many ways it makes it worse. Citizens is already dangerous overloaded with underpriced policies.
We’re in a dogfight with the trial bar. The only way to win is tort reform, ending one way attorney fees, ending AOBs, and allowing actual cash value/stated value policies on roofs. In addition, you must make at least new policies going into citizens actuarially sound.

TOP GUN ha cumplido 36 años. Guste más o menos, es uno de los grandes éxitos ochenteros que revolucionó el VHS, lanzó a Tom Cruise al estrellato y petó las ventas de cazadoras, camisetas y gafas Ray-Ban. Vamos con su Hilo de CURIOSIDADES #TopGun #Cinemelodic
Este 2022, 36 años después de la original, se ha estrenado una fanástica secuela que ya está entre las películas más taquilleras de la historia. Top Gun: Maverick #TopGun #Cinemelodic

Tom Cruise is set to receive more than $100m from the global box office success of #TopGunMaverick, making him the highest-earning actor in Hollywood thetimes.co.uk/article/tom-cr…
The action sequel has grossed about $1.2bn worldwide, with Cruise set to reap dividends from ticket sales and a future share of home entertainment and streaming revenue on top of his fees as producer and star
Cruise’s base salary is believed to be much lower than some other stars.

Will Smith was reportedly paid $35m for his latest film, #Emancipation, and Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt will be earning $30m for forthcoming productions

Ça fait quelques jours que #TopGun me turlupine.

Le plaisir de le découvrir enfin en salle, une salle qui vibre, en particulier lors du climax, est indiscutable.

Et pourtant, malheureusement, ce plaisir me paraît vicié. Très éloigné de ce que le cinéma peut nous offrir.
Ce n'est ni nostalgique, ni bien écrit, ni intéressant.

Une recréation du film de Tony Scott, adoré malgré ses limites évidentes, que jamais #Maverick ne cherche à dépasser.

On rejoue le même programme. Dans un cadre rigoureusement identique.

C'est pauvre. Programmatique
Alors oui. Kosinski n'est pas un vulgaire équarisseur. Il sait poser sa caméra. Orchestrer une scène.

Mais la géométrie ne fait pas l'élégance. Tout se tient. D'abord et avant tout parce que le divertissement hollywoodien a abandonné toute forme de grammaire ou de dramaturgie.

So #TopGunMaverick is a fantastic sequel. It strikes the right balance of nostalgia/membaberries with a story that doesn't simply re-hash the first movie & develops legacy & new characters in a fun and emotional way.

This & Ghostbusters Afterlife got it right.
I think my only complaint is that the central mission of the story is basically a real life version of the Death Star trench run, but it's so good I don't really care. The ariel fights in this film are next-level awesome.
I can't help but wonder what #StarWars would be like if it treated it's material and characters with the same level of respect and care as #TopGun did. It could have been something really special instead of the dumpster fire we got with the new sequels.

As I book tickets for @TomCruise #TopGun, I’m reminded of the @IAF_MCC own TopGun Academy - Tactics and Air Combat Development Establishment (TACDE). This is an attempt to recall the story of how independent India made its own #Mavericks #IAFHistory (1/22) Image
The history of Air Combat is as old as aircraft themselves. Given its shared history the IAF of the 1940/50s looked to the RAF for air combat tactics & trg, but only a handful of pilots could be so trained with no institutional transfer & continuity of knowledge being avl. 2/ Image
In the period 1950-52, the IAF sent four pilots to Australia to undergo the Pilot Attack Instructors (PAI) Course with the RAAF. A few were sent to UK till the mid-1950s. The plan was for these pilots to impart their knowledge to sqn pilots of the IAF. 3/ Image

So, it had been such a depressing couple of days that I went to see #TopGunMaverick tonight

Thoughts

1. It was VERY fun...the fighter scenes were unbelievably good...yes, at times silly and improbable (to say the least) but really FUN
2. The main plot owes royalties to Star Wars and the different movies that covered the Doolittle Raid (WW2)
3. Yes, they paid homage to the most homoerotic scene in the history of hetero military movies (which is really saying something)...If you have seen the original #TopGun you know what I am referring to

Our (almost) Top Gun journey. I'll start a thread about our trip from MiGs and Drakens to flying Hornets over California. I saw the first Top Gun in a movie theater in Finland. At that time I was a MiG-21bis pilot just through IP course. (MiGs photo Ned Dawson) #avgeek #TopGun ImageImage
Later I became a MiG demo pilot and flew my last demo in Kubinka AB, Russia on 16 Aug 1991. I never imagined that some 3,5 years later I would be flying US Navy F/A-18 Hornets over California and the Pacific. Now I'll tell how that happened. (Photo Ned Dawson) #avgeek #TopGun ImageImage
Our team traveled to DLI ELC, Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX in January 1995. We had to go through 9 weeks of Specialized Aviation English Training. While there, we visited NAS Kingsville to se how the Navy prepares their aviators with the T-45 to fly Hornets. #avgeek #TopGun ImageImageImageImage

Parliament of #Finland is set to begin debate about changed security environment and needed changes regarding 🇫🇮 security policy (read seeking NATO membership).

🧵 focusing on what’s said implicitly and explicitly (follow #turpo, as other Finns are also sure to comment)
First up is @Haavisto, presenting updated government report on security:

valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/governmen…
Finnish formal conclusions:
1) Russian appetite for high-risk actions has increased
2) Russia can quickly focus large volume of mil forces against a neighbour
3) Increased loose talk of using non-conventional weapons (nukes); for which #Finland has little deterrence.

Tomcat musing: a short thread on the "dowdy" parts of one of the most glamours interceptors of the world. 1/6 #avgeeks #aviation #aviationdaily #Tomcat #TopGun #USNavy
Did you know that when the F-14 stretches its wings fully forward, the fuselage slots into which the wings retracted are sealed with inflatable airbags? The airbags use bleed air from the TF30s to inflation! 2/6
#avgeeks #aviation #TopGun #Tomcat
The F-14's variable-geometry outer wings carry full-span leading-edge slats and almost full-span trailing-edge flaps. In addition, four-section spoilers augment the differential movement of the tailrons in roll control. 3/6

1A día de hoy ¿cuál dirían que es el caza ligero por excelencia? ¿El F-16? ¿El Gripen? ¿Y si hablamos de un aparato que era la mitad de la mitad?

Para mí, este es el caza ligero por excelencia, una pequeña historia del Folland #Gnat (y su hermanastro indio HAL #Ajeet)
2El padre de la criatura era el ingeniero William Edward Willoughby "Teddy" Petter, quien había trabajado previamente en numerosas aeronaves de la firma Westland, como el #Lysander, el #Whirlwind o el #Welkin Image
3incluso trabajó en el proyecto para mejorar el #Spitfire corrigiendo cierta inestabilidad del diseño original

Tras ciertas desavenencias con la dirección de @westland, en septiembre de 1944, Peter se despidió y se llevó consigo los trabajos para la propuesta B1/44 Image

(2) The meeting FLOTUS held on cyber safety acknowledged children's greater need for guidance & support, relative to adults. IMHO, adults are (or should be) able to look after themselves online. Child safety is something we can all get behind, no? whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…
