I don't want to sound ageist, but do 57 year olds ever fly a jet in navy/AF?

Val Kilmer making an appearance too? Wasn't he battling throat cancer?

7/18/19 3:27pm

I think he was just putting too many things down his throat

Did I get chills hearing the slow playing of the classic Top Gun music?

I can enjoy literally any movie with good fighter aircraft scenes. Beginning of Behind Enemy Lines was by far the best

Also, looks like he’s got the pressure suit on and collar for a sealed helmet. Is he a test pilot (aviator) in this one?
