I was more interested in the Kawasaki :becool: GPZ900 (or was it 750) he was riding on in that film
It was the 900 :smile:

I spent the following 10 years wanting to be a pilot.

I never did, although I did get a weeks work experience with the Lynx and SeaKing squadrons at Portland Naval base when I was 14 (my uncle was commander flying at the time). Which was an amazing experience as I took the controls (for about 15 seconds) of a SeaKing on a search and rescue sortie over chesil beech! :eek: they also flew me over my house and school.

Careful with that axle Eugene
I really do like the opening flight deck ops shots in this film. Another F14A Tomcat starring role I like is in the film Final Countdown, the scene where two F14's overfly a yacht at about 450 knots, then stand on their tails for an ear shattering climb out on reheat. Darned good!
