Sounds like Glen is becoming a pilot's pilot. Nice job on explaining the risk of "Get there itis." Hope to see Glen at AirVenture sometime.

[@aydenduke2556]

glad i wasn't the only one who appreciated that acknowledgement of the pilot's life

[@hunterwyeth]

Like @blancolirio likes to say, the best safety device for a private pilot is the credit card to pay for a hotel room

[@puthvoraknuthmark6458]

it’s safe to say i am not surprised he’s obsessed with aviation at all, he has a face card for those military pilot fr

Well even though this is set after the war, he did play a Korean War pilot flying a WWII aircraft in Devotion.

That one Wingman we always got in Ace Combat

[@joshcarter-com]

I love that he got to log those F-18 hours! I assume not as pilot in command, but still, those are awesome entries for your log book.

[@fileoffish9395]

Probably dual received, not sure how the mil instructor flying with a civilian works for logging that though.

[@michaelmappin4425]

I was a flight deck director on USS Theodore Roosevelt when the VF84 Jolly Rogers were still around. VF103 and later VFA103 took the logo when 84 decommissioned.

[@Kevin.Costner.]

makes so much sense Gun TOP!!!! Rick Mav!

You know if any new Ace Combat content were to come out. They should call him up he'd be perfect for a wingman character.

He’s really become one of my favorite actors. I hope he stays how he is, doesn’t announce his politics, just talks about movies and his passions like aviation. This is a classic actor!

Got to see them flying over my house in Tipp City (20min drive), when I was 14. Got my license two months ago, and should be going for my instrument checkride by the end of the year.

If I had a nickle for every time I saw Glen Powell star as a navy fighter pilot inside of one year, then I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.

Well he was one of the main roles in the biggest aviation films lately... Maverick and Devotion. Absolutely steller films. If you hated his character in Maverick, he makes up for it in Devotion.

[@cloudstreets1396]

I’d like to see those F-18 logbook entries. How did he log that time? Dual received I guess.

[@elitewarrior0076]

I’m curious how exactly he would have logged F-18 hours in his logbook for what I assume is his private license that he was getting. Would that be logged under Second in Command (SIC) time?

1:35 He got to fly the F-18? I thought they were only allowed to be passengers in the navigator/weapons officer seat. I could’ve sworn I read somewhere that the Navy wouldn’t allow Tom Cruise and the other actors to fly the F-18s.

how can you log the hours when you're not flying the f-18?? - the US Navy is not letting anyone but their guys fly those planes. Unless they got to go up and the navy pilot just let them take the stick for a few moments for pleasure cruise a few times. I don't know how even that would fly pardon the pun lol
