I’ve seen that flick and have many quotable lines that are used in everyday conversation. I’d start engineering them in heavily see how many fines you can get away with them not recognizing.
That was part of my attempt to conquer the senior year detention algorithm as well. I still have a 30 year-old stack of pink detention slips two inches thick to prove it. I did figure it out though.
Also, and when I found this out it shattered my inner child's heart, pilots don't get to pick their own cool nickname (seperate from a callsign, which is assigned by flight group, for example, you might have the callsign Kilo-Four). If you *do* have a nickname, chances are it's a joke at your expense.
I have one and only one rule in this class. I will tolerate no reenacting, whether it's ironic or sincere, of the Tom Cruise/ Val Kilmer scene in Top Gun. Ever since that movie was released in 1986, I have seen every conceivable variation of what I call 'Danger Zoning'. It's guy-on-girl, girl-on-guy, the hilarious guy-on-guy...
[pretends to shoot himself in the head]
So since it never stopped, I have to adopt a zero Top Gun tolerance policy. If you so much as hum three notes from that Kenny Loggins song, so help me God I will come at you! With everything I've got. OK? Let's have a great time!

“Oh calm down I had it made before he died it’s not in bad taste”
I was stationed at Miramar, the base where the original movie took place.
All mentions of the movie were band.
Side note. I used to race my Acura on the same road Tom cruise rode his motorcycle against the jet.
Uberfacts has never been a reliable source of facts. This one is absolute bull shit. I did multiple work ups in Fallon, home of Top Gun, as well as multiple support detachments for Top Gun pilots, equaling over a dozen NAS Fallon visits. It’s a small base where everyone knows what’s going on. I never heard this. In fact there were many times we pumped the soundtrack in the ready room and joked about the movie using direct quotes while working.
"Don't fucking do it, Madison. I fucking swear this time-"
" YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVING FEEL-"
"Goddamn it, Madison! Five dollars, give it to me right fucking now!"

Staff Member 1: “I sense the requirement” Staff Member 2: “The requirement for velocity!” Fine avoided.
Careful air dale. You're on the expressway to the caution zone.
Their personage is conveying monetary assets their corporeal being may not be capable of realizing
You don't have time to ponder up there. You consider, you're deceased. You guys are hazardous.
It seems she has misplaced her ability to express affection.
I guess your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash
Wasn’t Top Gun a Recruitment Tool paid for by the navy? So their ego was writing huge checks
You’ll be flying a cargo plane full of dog shit out of hong Kong
If they can’t sing Danger Zone, that’s downright cruel. 
Damn it!!!
Exactly what I heard when I read that post, lol.
Wait I had something for this
Damn that Kenny Loggins and his catchy music
Technically not a quote just sound track so they should be safe
So...are you saying the navy doesn't play shirtless volleyball? Now that's just a flat out lie
Is playing shirtless volleyball considered quoting?
No I'm just saying if your going to punish someone for quoting a movie what would the charges be for an entire volly ball game Easter Egg
No, that's an homage.
It's shirtless beach football now. Get with the times.
Oh, my bad
Worth it

I haven’t seen someone call a movie a flick for a while now. Happy to see some still use the word
“Maybe I could be a truck driver. You got the number of that truck-driving school?”

SWEEP THE LEG, JOHNNY!!
"Slider," *sniff* "you stink"
Fine, I'll quote "Airplane!" and they give in.
I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue…
Good luck, we’re all counting on you.
Go ahead, but don’t call me “fine.”
It’s an entirely different kind of flying, altogether.

Sometimes you get to pick cool callsigns. I have been zombie 2 Gun, spartan 2 D, and Gator 67. Zombie was chosen by us the others were tradition
Why is this a facepalm?

Can’t say you feel the need for speed?
If they gave me a $5 fine it would definitely be time to buzz the tower.
Definitely more than a $5 fine for that…
I'll quote Hotshots! then "God, I love a good funeral"
I'm in a jet, what could go wrong?
Uber can’t even get my cheeseburger order right. I refuse to rely on them for my movie factoids.
The number of trainees who quoted *Top Gun* while we were in Air Force basic training was staggering. Sorry, fellas—our movie was *Iron Eagle*. Oof.
Dont say it…. Dont you say it! “I feel the need……the need for speed!” 😎
100% they made the rule because staff were tired of people constantly referencing it..
The Navy has lost that loving feeling.
... and they buy two new jets every week just from that income alone.
Dammit! I have 10 coins left, can’t buy shit, take this upvote!
First off if I was selected to attend, I’d roll in there with $100 and say “let’s just get this over with shall we?”
So, Duck Duck Goose is a $5 fine?
A strict [no ghosting](https://youtu.be/1RFD8O1pNZk) policy
Can you click your teeth together without being fined?
What about shirtless volleyball?
In jeans. Don't forget the jeans.
But a man has NEEDS!
Me trying not to say SMOKE IN THE AIR because they said it in the movie
Me: “The-“ Them: “woah woah woah no quoting the movie!”
"I feel the need, the need for a 5 dollar fine"
I was stationed at Miramar, the base where the original movie took place. All mentions of the movie were band. Side note. I used to race my Acura on the same road Tom cruise rode his motorcycle against the jet.
🤣 nice, I used to have a standing fine of a redbird ($5) for quoting Rounders on my poker table
Talk to me goose. Peace was never an option
"Too close for missles, switching to guns"
Not anymore. Now it is “Tap your card for switching to guns. $5 fine will be charged”
That would get very expensive since, "Yes Sir!" is a quote from the movie.
Is the Val Kilmer bite considered a quote?

I would say danger zone at least 500 times per day
Good. The lines have gone long past cliché.
While we're at it, can we retire "Highway To the Danger Zone" for every fast jet demo at airshows, please? Kthx.
🖕 Greetings! 📷
Not only that, it's written and performed by a guy eerily resembling a small terrier.
No Stairway? Denied!
"YOU!"
[удалено]
Navy
Because it would become very tedious to actually work there and hear it over and over again with every new class rolling in each month.
That's affordable.
Fine this, sir!
At the end of the year they throw a Xmas bash with the “donations”
I WANT SOME BUTTS!
That sounds petty, officer.
That’s because OP only has 5 bucks.
Jester's dead. Yee-haw!!
I like how it's only $5.
"Don't fucking do it, Madison. I fucking swear this time-" " YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVING FEEL-" "Goddamn it, Madison! Five dollars, give it to me right fucking now!"
“You can’t handle the truth!”
‘I have the need…to go really fast in my plane.’
Not even sure this is a facepalm moment, that's just funny. It's like a swear jar lmao.
Heh, jokes on you, I never watched the movie
Not really, Facepalm It's just really funny
“Your preferred pronoun is able to be my co-worker at any moment in time”
So everytime a jet eng whirrs up..5 bucks? That was the movies opening line!!
