Hey, Elizabeth! I hope you had a wonderful Birthday. I'm sorry I was not here for the day, I was on holiday in The Netherlands. Got back in the early hours of this morning. Anyway, here is a big, belated, birthday hug! 🤗🎉🎈🎁🍰🎂

Okay, you get serious cool points for this. I love the F4.😊

Me too! 😎 You notice I used the overall designation. In my case, it was the Phantom FGR2 (F4-M)

I watched Top Gun: Maverick. I have to say, that it stands up as a sequel to Top Gun, even using the same theme music. However, I do struggle with certain aspects of it as a Hollywood movie. You see, when Top Gun originally appeared, I was an engineer on fast jets, namely the McDonald Douglas F4 Phantom II. I still find it difficult not to laugh at some of the things the producers expect us to believe are possible. Still, an entertaining and well-shot movie, nonetheless.

One thing I did think better than the original was the love interest. Far more plausible. 🤷‍♂️

Today, I had the rare (these days) opportunity to sit in Starbucks and get down to some serious writing. I can write better when alone in a coffee shop, undisturbed. Don't ask me why but it seems to work for me. Anyway, whilst writing, I became aware of a song playing which brought back some great memories. Those who remember the seventies will surely remember More Than A Feeling from Boston.
