Yet for some reason we don't do this mission out west.

Don't need to.   The USAF and the FAA have set up a corridor between the LRE site and the Range.

I am not a big screen guy and am probably not going. That said, there is clearly a LOT of interest. Any chance of getting CAP PSAs into the theaters? How does that work? Who do we talk to (internally and externally)?

You are aware that Top Gun is about NAVY pilots?

So? About half of the Cadets I knew once upon a time are wearing wings of gold today.

My wingmate from the 70s ended up as a USMC pilot with gold wings, inspired by the original as well as all we did in CAP. May he R.I.P. - he died over the South China Sea as a O-4 doing what he always wanted to do.

Yes. They fly, we fly.

"So who is already planning a field trip for the Cadets to see it?"

They'll have it on their phones and stream it even before it hits the theaters...

Did this with Scouts a few years back. We went through the local theater manager, had a bunch of poster that we put up around the building, on theater doors, etc., and had a table to hand out flyers.

So who is already planning a field trip for the Cadets to see it?  None of them will criticize it, they'll all soak it in and dream ....

And no, I don't mean an actual official field trip, lest this thread go way off track, with mentions of how one should properly plan it, execute it, and God forbid, what uniform should be worn. LOLOLOL

The cadets will plan their own trips to see it, if they think it's worth watching. Which is fine with me.
