Ok but what about his contribution to shirtless volleyball in denim?

It’s funny because Air Force recruitment skyrocketed after Top Gun released. Because people wanted to fly planes and they immediately thought of the Air Force. The film didn’t help the Navy’s recruitment all that much.

I’m saying this as a guy who served in the Air Force for 20 years. We like to poke fun at the Navy for helping us with our recruitment numbers every time a Top Gun film releases.

Does the air force have ships by the way?
