Top Gun Deluxe Helmet

Product Information

Rear Admiral: 'Distinguished.' 'Distinguished.' 'Distinguished.' Yet you can't get a promotion, you won't retire, and despite your best efforts, you refuse to die. You should be at least a two-star admiral by now, if not a senator. Yet here you are: Captain. Why is that? Everyone loves Top Gun and it is rightly center stage on the world’s view of Naval Aviation, but I am always excited to tell people about the other amazing ways we are able to support operational and diplomatic objectives with all our other aircrafts as well,” Lieutenant Mikaela Dosen, call sign “Dodo” (as in the extinct flightless bird), a US Navy aviator and the Air Operations Officer for the Commander, Logistics Group Western Pacific, supporting the US Navy’s Seventh Fleet in the Pacific.

COL. RIDER : The Air Force’s version of Top Gun is the Weapons Instructor Course at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. That’s also where Red Flag [the annual air combat exercise] is based, so the bar there is always fun. And for real-life military aviators, that means that whenever they meet civilians — like us — anything that’s remotely linked to the movie will inevitably pop up in the conversation.

LT. DOSEN: As a Maritime Patrol Plane Pilot, my flying is much tamer than that in Top Gun, I have always been fascinated with the way jets fly within valleys and canyons and how they stay upside down to help provide better visuals and stay close to the walls. In Death Valley, CA, there is a place called Star Wars Canyon — that is an awesome spot to watch them practice in real life. Col. Rider caught the original Top Gun when he was in the 9th grade (about 14-15 years old) when it first came out the theatres and what a life-changing experience it was. “My family is from the Air Force, so I already knew I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy, [but] seeing a movie with realistic flying scenes definitely enhanced my desire to become a fighter pilot,” he shared. COL. RIDER : We do sing songs in our bars, but generally traditional fighter pilot songs, not the Righteous Brothers. COL. RIDER: The G-induced Loss of Consciousness (GLOC) because I’ve had a few friends who lost their lives due to GLOC. Could be worth considering modifying an SPH-4 rather than an HGU/33 - they're MUCH cheaper and FAR easier to source, and my guess is you'd be less concerned about stripping it, filling, sanding, painting, etc. especially if it has a bit of damage.

Please do not return anything until we say, as this may prevent us from being able to deal with your request.Not as much as it used to, but I bet it will a lot more now that the new movie is out,” said Colonel Michael Rider, call sign “Hook”, a 28-year US Air Force veteran and Chief of Office of Defense Cooperation for Singapore with the US Embassy here,
