Geocache Description:

"Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you
Right into the Danger Zone"


This one of my most favourite show when I was younger, featuring Tom Cruise and and Val Kilmer, have no idea that it is romance theme. The only thing I knew is I want so badly to be a pilot after watching this amazing show, showcasing one of the most amazing fighter jet of all times... (Boy.. I lovee this plane) Will always dream of myself walking down the run way (Slow-Mo) with all the fighter jets along side me and the openning song playing at the background. And if you're a 80's boy, you will definitely know "TOP GUN". Hooo-rah!

Top Gun is a 1986 American romantic military action drama film directed by Tony Scott, and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, in association with Paramount Pictures. In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Although this plane model is already outdated, and can never compete with modern advance fighter planes, but it will always be a marvel interceptor of it's time. Iconic wings, long range flight, ability to carry massive amount of ordnance, ability to swift combat mode, and best of all, one of the best plane to take off from and land on a moving aircraft carrier (During that one of time).
