My goodness, something promising on ITV, I'll have to see if I've still got it...

Unable to log in with a username and password to fly the F-35. And he gets the classic reply from the American support.

Flying through snowdonia at 250ft looks terrifying..

Why no appropriate top gun music?..

[skeeterm5]

That plane landing vertically is something amazing to behold.

[Gretchen]

Is it just me that thinks this looks easy? It just takes focus. Bally is a custard cream boy.

Would be an amazing experience!

Wonder if the lightening used a ‘factory’ log in
On the high security log in system

Really enjoyed that. Look forward to next week when they’re learning bombing and dog fighting.

I did once buy a flight in a fast jet which was an amazing experience.

Good first episode. Don’t recall hearing a single yeehaw. I’m a great believer in the saying “if it looks right it probably is”. To me the F35 doesn’t look right.

Could not believe the F35 username/password 'turn it off and on again' bit!

Is this due to be repeated anywhere? Need to get the OH to record it for me.

Why are they calling it Top Gun, when it isnt?

[Biker 1]

Quite interesting this show, especially the low level stuff in Wales.
Thank fk that a certain Scientologist dwarf isn't involved!!!

All military fast jet pilots are "Top Guns" according to the media. In reality......

Because they need a title to attract viewers. "Fighter Pilot: RAF Valley and a base in the USA" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Yeah, can just see Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis's eyes meeting over the pasties and scratch cards at the Valley Spar.
