Enter the ‘Toom’
This my friend, is an awesome idea!
Also, the bald guy is Cmdr. Tom ‘Stinger’ Jordan!
They should make a Top Gun prequel – with Tom Cruise playing the part of his father in the Vietnam war.
They could re-paint surviving QF-4 target drones to make up a Phantom Phleet (they would only need a couple for flying sequences anyway) and use the Collins Foundation F-4C’s to bring in a bit of USAF F-4 content for some extra colour.
There’s lots of surviving good quality colour F-4 carrier and other footage for splicing in some action. They could reproduce some of the fantastic high-vis F-4 schemes prevalent in the 60’s and 70’s and even include some surviving contemporary aircraft types for a bit of spice and realism, many of which survive in flying trim.
I think I read somewhere that nearly all the Tomcats are scrapped now so these are a no-no as well as being hugely expensive to operate if they did.
Bring back the Phantom in a last blaze of glory. They can borrow my F-4J for some in-cockpit shots:D
How about it Mr. Bruckheimer?
