Off to see Top Gun tonight for the nnnnth time but, a first for me, at an open air cinema. 12 y/o son is being dragged along. He is unsure what all the fuss is about.

I'll own up to being excited. Infact, very excited.

So,

What a night! Freezing cold in Catton Park.

But, when the F-14 afterburners lit up on the jumbotron I was a teenager all over again back in the 80's. New generation of teens/kids who saw it liked it and got it.

Now to go buy that GPZ900R and dig out my A2 jacket and cover it in patches!

One final postscript. Me and GF are tying the knot in LV this October; both of us agreed the minute we heard it again last night we'll walk down the aisle in the Little White Chapel to 'Highway to the Dangerzone' smile And the best bit, one of our guests signed up to the USN (eventually becoming a Chief) the day after he saw TopGun all those decades ago.

Ah, this will be our second 'sortie' so I guess survived the first one way ticket smile
