To a whole generation of filmgoers, Tom Cruise will always be Maverick, the hotshot fighter pilot from Top Gun. Since that classic movie, Ol’ Shorty McCouch-Jumper hasn’t done much on-screen flying, well, unless you count flying off the handle, but he’ll soon be back in the cockpit again for Yukikaze. And true to his recent science fiction binge, he’ll be dogfighting it …
