Whew! Scared me for a minute!
What is the matter with having the Top Gun music for a ring tone? Should I change mine?
Fun fact Chris, I have never seen the movieâŠso I really donât get the reference to the theme song.
Chris if you have it itâs too late, changing it wonât help!

Brady,
Itâs an old standing joke (maybe this many years later itâs faded) but in EVERY airline newhire class thereâs at least 1 guy whoâs got the theme as his ring tone. That guy (whoâs usually a Riddle grad) is gonna be âthat guyâ all through training.
Adam
Brady,
If you havenât seen it, you must! Itâs a classic. One of my familyâs favorites growing up so Iâve seen it dozens of times. A lot of aviation references come from that movie so youâll be more âin the knowâ, just please promise you wonât become âthat guyâ and set the theme song as your ring tone

Brady you know Hannah actually brings up an excellent point. For you to be this far along in aviation and never seen Top Gun is actually a little disturbing and something you really need to remedy. You see every pilot who sees it harbors a desire to be Maverick and has a deep reverence for the film. However this desire and reverence must be kept suppressed less you be seen as uncool (and as you know by now, pilots by definition are SUPER cool). By having the ring tone youâre letting youâre exposing your hidden desire and therefore are âuncoolâ which is a terrible faux pas.
I know itâs complicated. Once you have some more hours and experience youâll understand
