I can’t wait for Tom’sTop Fun
I’VE waited 31 years for thiss – Top Gun 2 is preparing for take-off! off!
Tom Cruise has, at last, confirmed onfirmed that he is making a sequel to the 1986 classic about cocky navyavy pilot Maverick, his wing man Gooseose and arch-rival Iceman.
I’ve watched it dozens of times, because I’m a total flying geek.eek.
As a local newspaper reporterporter in Oxfordshire in the late 80s 0s I had the rare honour of flying g with a US air squadron in an n F-111 fighter jet.
I was sick for three hours and nearly blacked out twice ce but it remains the most thrilling experience of my entire career – one I relive every time I watch Top Gun..
Cruise, 54, hasn’t confirmed whether original cast members will be in the sequel, although Val Kilmer, 57, is practically begging for the chance.
They still feel the need... the need for speed. But, fit as they are, I don’t know if they’d still be able to handle stomach-churningg stunts in a Fighting Falcon or a Super per Hornet. I’m sure I couldn’t do it now. I doubt I could even get et my leg over the back of Maverick’sck’s motorbike a la Kelly McGillis.s.
It would probably take myy breath away.
