In 2007, country music icon Gary Allan released a song entitled “Watching Airplanes” in which he harmonizes about a man whose girlfriend just left him. This lady is taking off on an airplane to go somewhere far away, to start a new life. Now, this man is just peering up at the sky, vessels soaring across the blue canvas hovering above us all, wondering about “which one you might be on...and why you don’t love me anymore.” Yes, he is indeed “Watching Airplanes.” Moviegoers around the globe are bound to do something similar once Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters, though given how much fun this long-awaited sequel is, they’re bound to be much happier with their experience of witnessing aerial vehicles “take off. and fly.”
