    Funny but will the audience get the inside jokes?

    Most of us wondered at one time what it would be like to fly an airplane. This comedy short gives you a taste in a funny way. Will people get the Top Gun satire? Some will some will not. It is a nice little gem that is entertaining and at times informative. Solid performances by lead actress Tiffany Shiau as Jamie and Brandon Hutzell as Tom. Maybe if they ever develop a full length narrative we'll see a fully developed character in Tom. I would have like to see a little more of the Jay Mie/Tom relationship. Would have been better if they used the same airplane for the training and the preflight. I do not know if that was by design or accident. Won't be surprise if we see some of this cast in major roles down the line.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Went way over budget when the original airplane that was going to be used had radio problems and producer Mike Chinea was forced to rent 2 addition airplanes. Major delays because a local news helicopter kept hovering near the shoot. Sound crew never showed up and a key actor was stuck in New York and could not make it.
    • Crazy credits
      Financing by Mike's maxed out credit cards
