I'm really excited about the sequel to Top Gun that's coming soon.  Top Gun inspired me to join the Navy and get into aviation.
So as a naval aviator you help defend and attack those who are attaching your fleet?
That's right.  But you also go on bombing runs or support ground forces.  But one of the primary responsibilities is definitely to protect the carrier battle group.
I wonder when Top Gun sequel is coming out? It was originally opening in July 2019 then pushed back the following year
I believe it's coming out in 2021 but I'm not sure.  But yeah, I was disappointed when it got delayed.  I was so looking forward to it.  Do you know if Val Kilmer is in it as Iceman?
Looks to have both Cruise and Kilmer and some new roles like Jon Hamm.
Oh, that's great.  Iceman was my favorite character in the original.  Too bad Goose is still dead.  I wonder if they'll make any reference to him.  I imagine they will.
Not to spoil a lot but Miles Teller plays Goose son in this one.
Oh, cool.  I'm glad to see that they're trying to really tie it into the stories in the first movie.  Don't worry about spoiling anything, but is Meg Ryan in it?  She played Goose's widow in the original.
Looks like the role will be back but is getting replaced by Jean Louisa Kelly
For some reason that doesn't surprise me.  I'm not sure Meg Ryan is doing any acting anymore.  Oh well, you can't win 'em all!  I'm still eager to see all the flying and action.  Hopefully there's a great soundtrack like in the first one.  Maybe Kenny Logins will contribute some more music.
