Kev2go Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Was still in my dad's nutsack for another 6 years. Even so he didnt get to see that movie because dirty imperialistic capitalist propaganda showcasing victory over the proteleriat was not allowed where he was from at that time. I didnt see top gun until a random tv rerun until I was 16. This may sound like blasphemy, but I didnt get into flight swimming until after I saw behind enemy lines.

Fakum Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I was a yellow shirt on the deck of the USS Eisenhower, we watched this on closed circuit TV while on a Med cruise. I remember sitting around all the other guys and pointing out all the flaws in the movie regarding flight deck ops.

GlidingWolf Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I wasn't born yet, now I'm 17. My first time watching was at 7 y.o. Top gun soundtrack sounds amazing to me.

CybrSlydr Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Never saw it until my parents had it on VHS. I'm 34 now, so I was young when it came out. LOVED that movie - though despite that, Iron Eagle was the one that got me into airplanes and made me want to be a pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadnap Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I was 2. I remember my uncle had an expensive sound system installed and Top Gun was the movie we watched over and over to get the "effect" on VHS. --- AJS37 Viggen, F-16C Viper, Adobe Premier.
