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.

Unfortunately, Dragons like to cause global warming locally but not be victims of it.

Welcome to Jukka Koskinen, the now official bass player with Nightwish. Marko was a hard act to follow.

He took Marko's place whilst they toured, but now he is an official band member.

Here he is, at the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands, June 2022.
