Today's edition of "fanfics I want to read but don't want to do the research to write":
Maverick and Iceman as Blue Angels. I can't decide which positions I think they'd fly but I can't quite get the idea out of my head.
Aviators only fly with the Blues for 2-3 years, generally, and they often graduate to different spots for their second year.
There's an actual pilot who flew spots 3 and then 4 and went on to become COMPACFLT, so maybe that's what Iceman does. But I also like the idea of Iceman as squadron CO (1) and Maverick on his wing as 2 or 3. But then again Maverick as a soloist (6 one year, 5 the next) is a good hook too. (Soloists do one year as announcer, one as opposing solo, one as lead solo. I do kinda want to hear Maverick announce the show.)
(Amusingly enough, the top hits in the gif search are Top Gun: Maverick actors flying with the Blue Angels. I appreciate that Phoenix got her callsign on the jet but Hangman didn't.)
