The other day I watched 'Top Gun: Maverick'. I think it is a phenomenal film, mostly due to the realisation of machines in flight, and to a much lesser degree, the plot.

But, I could not watch it without thinking about how a live action Macross/Robotech adaptation could work.

A dream that will probably remain just a dream.

Last night at the Spring Of Culture Festival in Bahrain: “Topgun: Maverick - Live In Concert”.
Maestro Lorne Balfe himself conducted the Manchester Camerata Live Orchestra. Tom was not even on site live this time, but sent a video message.🫠
(There will be a second concert tonight. Both are sold out.)

Absolutely, 100%, worth the click:

>>Stewart was one of the last surviving combat pilots of the famed 332nd Fighter Group also known as the Tuskegee Airmen. The group were the nation’s first Black military pilots.

Stewart earned the Distinguished Flying Cross for downing three German aircraft during a dogfight on April 1, 1945. He was also part of a team of four Tuskegee Airmen who won the US Air Force Top Gun flying competition in 1949, although their accomplishment would not be recognized until decades later.<<

CNN · Decorated pilot Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, dies at 100Retired Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., a decorated World War II pilot who broke racial barriers as a Tuskegee Airmen and earned honors for his combat heroism, has died. He was 100.

Aladdin (1992) animator Glen Keane said Aladdin’s look was inspired by Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986), while Jasmine was based on Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth (1986). The two later played in Top Gun: Maverick (2022).
