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.

I was quoting Kenny Loggins\’ song \”Danger Zone\”:

Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone

When do they say \”Fly Away…\”?
