I 100% know that. I follow the A-10 like a lovesick puppy. Every year I wish it a happy BRRRRRRTT day.
Edit: it's the Warhammer 40k Ork plane. It works because it hates you and enough people believe it should.

When I was in the Navy there was a dude on my carrier who had the call sign Barbie. There was another dude who used his call sign to make a pun about laying pipe.

Is the "All-Ethnicities" just a CYA for casting directors/the studio?
There's no way they would cast 4-5 ethnic people, even if they are best choice, right?
Just struck me as disingenuous. Yeah I see the "Nordic male" for the stereotypical "Viking dude", but find it disingenuous that they are really considering all ethnicities for many other roles. Even if they lowball and cast 3 "ethnics" out of that call, that's still going to be more distracting than anything else considering there aren't many ethnic flight pilots (someone else can pull the USAF statistics if they want). I just find it hard to believe they are giving "ANYONE AND EVERYONE" a genuine opportunity.

We heard some rumors yesterday that the Top Gun people were around (the only other rumors had them filming around Thanksgiving, since most of the place will be shut down).
Anyway, my wife said they saw a couple F-14's painted green flying around. They may have been adversary planes, but we generally don't see F-14's here. Also possible that they were F-14's painted to look like MiGs or whatever the bad guy in Top Gun 2 is supposed to be.
There were also truckloads of people driving on the dirt roads near the runway which is something that generally doesn't happen. Likely related.

Not too long ago Half in the Bag was talking about Mission Impossible and how it's essentially just become home videos of a rich guy (Tom Cruise) doing cool shit that we get to pay to watch.
Tom was doing some Super Hornet flying around today. Not sure how much more filming they've got, but I guess he might be doing a few days of it (I didn't go out to the flight line, assuming it's not completely cordoned off with filming anyway).
He's been sitting in the back seat with a stick, and apparently he really wanted to be in the front seat and they said, "Not a chance." Tom then asked how much an F/A-18 costs.
