Well... no, not that one... but this:

Not sure how I feel about this. Where are they taking this? Who will they be fighting? Is that Goose Jr.? Why is he flying an SR-71? Aren't Tom Cruise's wrinkles going to peel back into his helmet when he slams the afterburner? Is Will Smith coming back in this sequel to fight the aliens again?

I like the line @ 1 minute where he says ".....I wasn't expecting an invitation back."... Yes I was wondering where the SR71 was too ;)

I think it will work and it will be on my 'to watch' list.

I think I’m becoming less cynical. These reboots/remakes/late sequels or whatever you want to call them use to bother me. But now I don’t care. And some of them actually look fun. It feels good to just let go and enjoy something for what it is and don’t get wrapped up in the bullshit surrounding it’s existence...

I thought so. That 'in cockpit video' looks really good (convincing).

Tidbit, the Spitfire of WW2 had a tandem trainer too... Looking... Yes...

Seems it just might not be the SR71.
