Highway to the Defunct-Zone

Top Gun The F-14 Tomcat is finally being retired. The plane has been around since 1970, but it was made famous by 1986's Top Gun (sidenote: this was the movie where Shannon really solidified her crush on Tom Cruise, before he went bat-shit crazy).

I still think Fly Away makes more sense in the context of the movie. Kenny Loggins should ask for my opinion next time.

Matt

Aight, I'm apparently the idiot then.

I was quoting Kenny Loggins\' song \"Danger Zone\":

Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone

When do they say \"Fly Away...\"?

Matt

I thought this when I initially read your post, but now I'm sure after catching Top Gun on TV Land last night, title probably should have been "Fly Away to the Defunct Zone"--gotta brush up on your bad 80s songs, Mike.
