The real Top Gun sequel would be a group of young adults led by Maverick's Son/Daughter (aka "LittleMav") who turned his/her professional video game career into being the best drone pilot in Vegas.

[@blue280485]

That is actually a nice idea for TopGun III you send it to Tom Cruze on Twitter 😀 But then the USAF calls there top ace pilots Top Sticks so the movie would be called TopStick: Mavic 🤪

Remotely piloted aircraft sensor operator

[@patriotcraftsboy1046]

Well you can’t go straight into the Air Force as a rpa pilot because all Air Force pilots are officers. What does that mean for you as an 18 year old? Try to get into the Air Force academy, go to college where there is an AFROTC program, or graduate college and then apply for OTS.

[@patriotcraftsboy1046]

Brandon Mattey it’s also important to note that sensor operators don’t actually pilot the plane.

[@javiersolis1051]

DanTownLA thanks so much man but I did some research and I don’t want to “pilot” the drones I just want to be the camera operator because I can get into that straight out of high school, found out it’s called the rpa-so, thankyou

It has to be super weird at first, knowing you've killed someone 1000's of miles away and going to eat dinner with your spouse that same day and doing it again tomorrow. Idk, something about it is unnatural, but also good in a way? We keep our people safe, but it also shields us from the devastation of war...

[@flare242]

I wonder how much lag there is. I'd love to see a comparison video with the operator monitor on one side of the screen, and realtime video of the drone on the other side. To see what's the difference. How laggy the controls are. I guess the nominal landings are probably automatic, but during crosswinds - the operator prolly has to takeover. And i can't imagine piloting something this expensive from the other side of the globe, with control lag in tens or even hundreds of miliseconds.

Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. 🕊️💕Live righteous and Holy because He said to and paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus . 🙏 I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏 Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕 We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖 People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏🔥 🕊️ Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Jesus is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.💖🔥🕊️ 🙏 Praise God 🙏 🙏Hallelujah Jesus 🕊️ In Jesus mighty name 🙏🔥🕊️ 💖
