Most everyone knows that Tom is an experienced pilot in real life, but something not really reported on social media is that several of the actors took flying lessons for TG:M. They started out on Cessnas, then moved up to doing aerobatics.

Kris, from your old sub days, do you recognize the locale of the image at 1m18s – 1m19s of the trailer at sunset looking down near the outlet to the ocean?

Not used to looking at it from that angle, but looks like a fly over Point Loma area. I didn't frequent San Diego that often. Spent most of my time in uniform in the Bangor Washington and Norfolk Virginia areas. When I switched over to government service I rode boats out of every port.

you’ll have to wait if to hear/see anymore of such a thing, because –



I’ll say one thing, those Comic-Con folks are extreme, for while we were having lunch in the Gaslamp Quarter, one fan offered me $200. for this hat I was wearing at the time - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...p#post16033627

When I declined, he went up to $250!

It may take me some time, but out of respect to all the contributors to this thread, I eventually get around to reading and thinking about everyones’ posts on this thread, ergo regarding “SHIELD’ in the above link which you previously posted and Chip75’s signature quote in the other thread today reminded me of something…..folks, don’t take your (or those of your parents) brain for granted, protect it, as we all eventually age, remember this acronym for SHIELD -

Probably the telephone pole wreaking havoc on his 'Got Wood?' world tour to promote the trailer for TG2. One whiff of fame and *bam* it don't care about the little people no more.

No volleyball, but in honor of today’s col de Tourmalet stage of the Tour de France today we climbed Mt. Laguna and proceeded back down vis-a-vis Noble Canyon, at speed .

I’m beat. Only one more post in me this evening.

As I haven’t seen Waboman around recently and this has to do with past exclusive pronouncements regarding Top Gun: Maverick (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post16243793 ) -
