I just sat down at a friends house for a casual Christmas hang out moment, and ended up revisiting this classic. Its super cheesy in so many ways… but for a 9 year old boy with an inborn appreciation for jet fighters and doing things that are cool, this movie has it all. It’s like the Karate Kid, but with missiles. Thinking back, this is certainly one of the movies that has shaped all of my life long ambitions, I still want to learn how to fly and someday “Run the Snake” on a dare… not to mention fly a covert mission into Iraq and rescue my dad while blowing up their oil refineries to the tune of Queen’s “One Vision”.

Want to feel really cool… dig up your Sony Walkman from 1985, strap it to your leg, and drive around with this mix tape blowing you through the stratosphere…

Failing hard disks are the bane of my existence. I recently dug through my PC junkyard and did a quick catalog of all the dead drives that I could not bare to throw out over the past decade.
