Top gun so Pete Mitchell call sign "Maverick" is still a naval aviator some 20 odd years later, hardly lives up to his call sign does he ? The real story would have had him flying for a small regional airline based in Buffalo flying state of the art 20 year old ATR 72s, borderline alcoholic with two failed marriages and still paying alimony to them, an 18 year old trolley dolly who announces she is pregnant after a one night stand in Bose Idaho and insists he is the father . The only "Charlie" that takes Mavericks breath away these days comes in a baggie!!! There's the real top gun 2.
