Devil-may-care navy pilot Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station for advanced training. Here he vies with Tom Kasansky (Val Kilmer) for the coveted "Top Gun" award. When not so occupied, Mitchell carries on a romance with civilian consultant Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis). Shaken up by the death of a friend, Mitchell loses the Top Gun honor to Kasansky. Worried that he may have lost his nerve, Mitchell is given a chance to redeem himself during a tense international crisis involving a crippled US vessel and a flock of predatory enemy planes. The story wasn't new in 1986, but Top Gun scored with audiences on the strength of its visuals, especially the vertigo-inducing aerial sequences. The film made more money than any other film in 1986 and even spawned a 1989 takeoff, Hot Shots. An Academy Award went to the Giogio Moroder-Tom Whitlock song "Take My Breath Away."

11-19-2009. Happy Birthday, Meg. I will join you in July (at 48). This is the first movie that I saw you in and your role as Carol Bradshaw will always be remembered, especially after Goose's death. Even though Carol was torn up and faced the reality of raising their son alone, she didn't blame Maverick. The 3 knew the risks involved. Mav had the same thing happen to him with his father. I look forward to seeing your other projects. Many happy returns, "Mrs. Goose." Heh-heh. Later, Meg.
