Topic of the week #22: Top Gun

Post by Niallxg »

Allow me some artistic licence with the title but seeing as a Mr. Cruise's new film has hit the bit screen, I thought we'd go with a Top Gun theme for this week's topic. I was thinking of going with the MiG-28, in a throw back to the original, but thats maybe too narrow a field. So lets go with the up to date, and see five of your best Hornet shots - legacy, super, US and non-US.

Nice selection.

Peter almost won with his late addition of Maverick 2's Hornet, but in the end it came down to a difficult choice between Nick's Swiss Panther and Draken's second Hornet...

Draken takes the Top Gun prize, very sharp low speed shot. Over to you Tomasz.
