"You can be my wingman anytime." "No, you can be mine."

A hotshot pilot who may flake on you at the worst time? Or one who flys strictly by the books and sticks to his lead.

Just "slid right into Cougar's spot," eh?

This would have been a better Top Gun quote to start a thread with:

Wolfman This gives me a hard on.
Hollywood Don't tease me.

I'd take the ace pilot over the by-the-book guy... as long as it wasn't Tom Cruise.

An ace may not be predictable but the odds of them saving your ass are much better than that of combat pilot with good grades. I think mostly because air combat is still evolving and the books only go so far.

A wingman's job is to protect his lead.

If you can not count on that, then do not fly with me.

The movie critics who claim 300 is a gay recruitment film should watch TopGun again.. so many homoerotic overtones in that movie it's unreal.

I don't like you Maverick..... you're dangerous..

Definitely the by-the-book. I don't care for quixotic behaviors, brilliant or not, when it's potentially my life on the line.

by the book, I need him there in case I freak out or mess up. The ace will probably think Im fine when in reality I just shat myself in the cockpit.
