WNU Editor: I enjoyed the first movie. Hope they can do the same for the second.
Wait what..he's flying an F18? why? Why not f22?f35? Or ffs how cool would it be top fly an sr71 from an aircraft carrier (I know, I know. ..just go along with it)...f18 is soooo boring. ..sr71 is older but way cooler ..f22 and f35 would be sweet
