When I was in the military, bob stood for "Bend Over Buddy" and was used to describe someone who was always getting fricked over. Not sure if that's what the film crew was thinking when they named him but I got a hearty chuckle when I saw it regardless.
>Jet pilots are nerds
He's not a pilot, moron. He's a WSO (pronounced Wizo) >Weapons Systems Officer
They handle weapons, targeting, navigation, and other shit the pilot is too busy to deal with.
Lol absolutely
Top Gun irl isn't even really about dog fighting per say. It's overwhelmingly operational planning for command officers. Lots of math, charts, doctrine, command and control, risk analysis, and more math.
The real Top Gun Maverick would be John Hamm and Tom Cruise doing that kinda stuff like the Hot Fuzz paperwork montage
Who would even want to be a WSO or NFO? Imagine being someone's cheerleader for most of any given flight while the pilot gets to chad-it-up a foot in front of you?
How do I develop the hunter's eyes? There are some people that have lived life, seen things, done things and their eyes change from ignorant teens to hunters. Should I work in crime for sometime?
Its skull shape, you are fricked. Blame your mother for having poor taste in men and your father for being desperate for any pussy in the vicinity. All you can do now is try and save your sons.
But don't experience making you acquire a certain air and confidence in your look? You don't have to be hot, just the wisdom makes you have sharper eyes.
its caused by the fat pad thinning and the skin on the outer orbit sagging with age, that is what you are talking about.
hunter eyes during youth is somewhat linked to the prominence upper orbit/fat pad.
if you look at asians however you will see that kind of hunter look quite frequently and on the whole their orbits are flat, so its probably got more to do with fat distribution.
i've not really come across a rule that creates a binary certainty for hunter eyes. the best i can say is that real hunter eyes would probably be present if you had mma/football tier robust ogre look, but it is not a given. tonnes of examples that don't fit the criteria.
the chad here is actually one of those cases. he has pretty shit orbits in terms of dimporphic projection, i'm sure they are nicely shaped but they lack the elements that would typically contribute towards hunter eyes.
It must suck being at work functions where the pilots bring their wives/gfs and the WSOs/NFOs bring their slightly more busted wives/gfs.
You can tell who is a fighter pilot in the room by jawline alone. This rule applies in every country's military.
real life isn't like highschool
all such top-tier aviators are consummate professionals who are held to the absolute highest standards
the whole machoman head games and rouge behavior in the top gun films is not tolerated irl and those guy end up flying cargo planes
these two in the original film are how real pilots behave
My mom worked at Lockheed for a number of years and she can attest that all pilots are insufferable douchebags with over inflated egos who don't feel the need to offer their clearance when asked by a lowly clerk.
Imagine lifting for years to get hamstrings that can pull crazy gs just for some soi womyn receptionist to go you need wear a mask there is a pandemic you know
no lmao everyone in the US military doing this shit is under 25 and is fricking moronic. It's all just weaponized autism, machismo being one of the primary sources.
Bruh if you’re in the back seat of a fast jet you’re seriously fricking competent. I know plenty of WSO’s who’ve crossed over to pilot when we phased out 2 seat jets in the RAF
Actually the IRL WSOs that come out of TOP GUN are pilots. For the mission they had in Top Gun (which is essentially Zero Dark 30 in the air) . You can fly from the wienerpit in the Hornet and sometimes it's good to practice.
For this mission the most important person is the WSO. You're trying to direct hit a small target at high speed. Imagine using a sniper rifle outside of a sunroof while driving 120 mph.
Also the top WSOs have their own training facility in Hawaii where they get to crush whatever 20 year old pussy they look at and drink for a year.
Too bad in reality the nerds in DARPA make a virus and pay some scientist to release it in the compound:

None of the movie is even remotely realistic. None of it would ever happen, computers have made human-piloted planes entirely pointless.
Gen 5 and SAMs have the capability to take out drones. Jammers could take them out as well.
Countires like IRAN and NK only start nuclear porgrams to get foreign aid. It's now a game to them. Sending a flock of fighters there way is an affective way to give them a message.
I always rolled my eyes whenever someone said "you HAVE to see this in theaters" but this is legit a movie you have to see in theaters. I have nice home setup but it's not gonna be the same. Seeing this in Imax was awesome. Honestly, not excited about the eventual 4K torrent.
>I always rolled my eyes whenever someone said "you HAVE to see this in theaters"
imagine wanting to watch a dumb summer blockbuster movie with awesome music on your 42" 4k meme display with $100 speakers you bought on amazon >b-but it's 50" not 42"
yeah 8 more inches big whoop now your gf will be able to enjoy the movie too
Look into the runway extension at groom lake in the 90's 😉
Seeing an Aurora-like aircraft in a government funded film felt so validating because I've been reading some books about candyland.
Probably one of my favorite parts of the movie, total treat and head nod to the public
I just watched this today. Bob was one of the biggest heroes and was totally valued by his peers. They literally were carrying him on their shoulders chanting his name during the football game. Frick off with this homosexual bullshit. Bob was an autistic chad who did his job, hit the target and was one of the most important members of the team.
The thing I like about Top Gun (both) is that even the characters that you would expect to be portrayed as unlikeable, (Bob, Hangman, or Iceman in the original) are all well liked and respected by the other members of the group. They may give em shit, but they are respected and trusted when it gets down to it.
I really could not have liked this movie more. First film in probably 20 years I made an effort to see in the theater and I went saw it for a second time today in iMax. You're so right, man. It was so awesome to have just a good American film like this with no woke homosexualry and no bullshit. All the characters were likeable and bad ass with no try bullshit. I really hope this movie's success inspires more like it because it's probably the first film in six or seven years I didn't completely hate.
I see a fair amount of movies, mostly because my girlfriend enjoys going more than me. I tend to not like most shit from western media these days sadly, but I do agree. This movie was great and it was nice to not have the usual shit shoved down my throat. A worthy successor to the original. I'd see it again.
Yeah, same. I sit through a lot of israelite bullshit because of the girlfriend. When I saw this coming out, I had high hopes, as there isn't a man with a functioning dick alive who doesn't absolutely revere the original. If they israelited this movie or if it sucked, it would have really hurt my feelings. But after hearing my former military bros talk about how awesome it was, I gave it a chance. I can't believe it but it definitely holds up and is a great addition to the original.
When they fricking jumped in the F-14, I marked out like a five year old seeing Hulk Hogan for the first time.
Just a perfect, loving, poetic sequel to the original.
it it me or is older planes going up against new tech always been kino? like david versus goliath kinda stuff.

Maverick is just badass. I think that with this movie he really surpasses the standard 80s cliche american superman, because of his age and experience the audience can really perceive that it's because of his character, training, and knowledge that he manages to get 'er dun. He is a pilot, not a marine, not an assasin, he can whip that baby in circles, that is the real charm I think. All flight scenes were stoking.

I know, i just think old tech is kinda cool tho, taking something that can barely hold itself together and having to push it past its safe design limits, to the point that it might fall apart, just to get the bad guys. There's something visceral and hands-on about older planes, Dunkirk is a fine example of this too.

But that's what I am saying, through him managing the plane we see it's his perception, his skills in total. Like said in the movie, it's the pilot, not the plane.
I also share your feelings, or at least understand them, because older planes and motorcycles were more manual.
Yeah that's great, Cletus. Did you enjoy the movie?
don’t offend the bobmob
Did Bob stand for something?
Babes On BWC
Does BWC stand for something?
BWC With Chicks
let me guess, the expression can be further expanded to
>BWC With Chicks With Chicks
Baby's first recursive acronym?
They wrote a song about him actually, 'Bombs over Baghdad'
I like the idea that while everyone was choosing their epic XzHangmanzX usernames he went with Bob just to frick with them.
Well, pilots don't choose their callsign. It's assigned to them by their squadron mates.

Jet pilots are nerds. They need to know physics, math, they study instructions manuals and have to know almost everything about their planes.
>Jet pilots are nerds
He's not a pilot, moron. He's a WSO (pronounced Wizo)
>Weapons Systems Officer
They handle weapons, targeting, navigation, and other shit the pilot is too busy to deal with.
and most important of all, they absolutely NEED to be manlets to withstand g forces and even fit in the planes
Some of them, the F22 pilots I know are all nerds, the f16 guys are more chad.
F22 guys are definitely the better pilots
Lol absolutely

Top Gun is literally the only air combat school that regularly trains dog fighting
it doesn't exist anymore
computers made it all obsolete
Bob rocked frick off nerd
He wasnt undesirable because he was a nerd he was undesirable because he was meek. Also he flys in fighter jets, he can crush any and puss he wants.
Everyone knows Bob and Phoenix were on some freaky shit
BOP
Bob On Phoenix
I'd like to make a high speed low elevation pass between those peaks. If you know what I mean.
Some good fricking posts in this thread. Hope mine is at least dubleroons
I'll never get to eject over enemy territory with her and cuddle together for warmth. Why even keep going.
That dude fricks.
Who would even want to be a WSO or NFO? Imagine being someone's cheerleader for most of any given flight while the pilot gets to chad-it-up a foot in front of you?
Imagine joining any branch of the military at all. Imagine dying for some politicians.
in return you get to blow things up
It must suck being at work functions where the pilots bring their wives/gfs and the WSOs/NFOs bring their slightly more busted wives/gfs.

riggle never touched a jet, he redesignated to be a reservist PAO in TBS

I don't care.
no lmao everyone in the US military doing this shit is under 25 and is fricking moronic. It's all just weaponized autism, machismo being one of the primary sources.
Didn’t make the aptitude for pilot or have bad eyes. Still chad though and more competent than a cargo pilot.
Cope

This actor just looks like Chris Evans with an even more cut Jawline to me. I've never seen him in anything else.
he's in "everybody wants some" which is worth watching. he's also in another linklater film but that one is meh.

You need to be reminded of your place each and every day, fricking nerd
bob wasn't undesirable, he's a top tier aviator respected by all of his comrades
Bob and Phoenix were in a torrid sexual relationship
Bob manages to cuck Rooster with that cute spic
No he doesn't, she sees him as a brother. Hangman fricked her already.
The last 10-20 years this must be a goat job. Navy pilot. 0% chance of dying, ULTRA safe F18 missions and bomb runs. Fishing, chilling on the ship.
>Brags about navy pilots
>Posts F-15
Yeah, I'm thinking he's based.
When is it out on digital? I want to see it again.
Should I spare $10 + milkshake and go again?
Not for a long time. It's second weekend box office was amazing. they still have many more millions to make before offering it to the poor.
I always rolled my eyes whenever someone said "you HAVE to see this in theaters" but this is legit a movie you have to see in theaters. I have nice home setup but it's not gonna be the same. Seeing this in Imax was awesome. Honestly, not excited about the eventual 4K torrent.

Going today for the second time. Wish I could watch it ok 4DX again though
Wait WHAT? Our boy Chad is Iceman's son?
The lore is getting deep.
Are they gonna pull a Fast n Furious la famiglia franchise?
Nope.
you have mental issues if this is your take-away.
what was his take-away? what the frick did they put in his take-away?
How was he undesirable?
I love that Tome joys anime and Ace Combat. He is really legendary.
Hello, Newman
you can' event be a fighter pilot without 20/20 vision
He's co-pilot responsible for radar a d weapons.
*corrected to 20/20
you can wear glasses, contacts, or get LASIK
he's probably the most realistic depiction of an airforce pilot I've seen in a while
>pilot
even he said he wasn't a pilot, which is refreshing to hear from a wizzo
Would the Navy really pursue an SR-71 successor?
they are working on such plane but it's 6 mach and not 10
for kino purposes yes
NGAD F/A-XX should look more like a blended wing Tomcat, top speed near 2.0 mach

The "bob" on the helmet was the funniest part of the movie.
He literally gets a hot latina dom mommy gf in the movie bro
