He also played Maverick’s commanding officer in Top Gun.

He was never a slacker and did not suffer them lightly.

Sir, we hardly knew ye.

I dropped the ball on that

But at least he died knowing Mav never had to settle for flying cargo planes full of rubber dog shite out of Hong Kong.

He got a hot young blond chick at the end of Masters of the Universe.

Watched Wargames a few weeks ago. 94 is a good run. RIP

Didn't have much screen time in Top Gun but was a very memorable performance.
