The Flyboys and their pets

Maverick

has the most hyper mystery mix dog you've ever seen. literally running circles around everyone all the time. mav takes him to the jet runway just so he can finally power himself out.

Iceman

got a german shepherd to look all official and respectable ... unfortunately his dog is the biggest couch potato known to man and would rather nap all day

Slider

has a super spoiled kitty cat that likes no one but him. definitely talks to her in a baby voice and refers to her as his daughter to everyone who asks. a million pictures on his phone of his favorite little diva (ice is his second). probably names her something worthy of a lady, like petunia, constance etc.

Goose

bradley. that's enough (carole probably has ducks or chickens)

Hollywood

none, he likes horses but doesn't really have the space for them

Wolfman

has a tiny yellow canary that follows him around everywhere and loves sitting on the brim of his cowboy hat. probably interrupts the other flyboys all the time by chirping loudly, making wolf laugh and be like "see, even Tweety is tired of your yapping"

Chipper

is allergic to most animal hair, so his parents got him a tortoise when he was a kid. she's still alive and probably will outlive all of them.

Sundown

has the most beautiful beagle lady, spoils her absolutely rotten - millions of toys, leashes, collars etc. and of course a huge soft dog bed right next to his

Merlin

doesn't have any pets but LOVES petsitting for the others

honorable mention: Cougar

hamster. no one makes him happier than this little guy. built him a huge enclosure his wife can only shake her head over ...

Top Gun - Incorrect Quote 50

Maverick: Tom is like ice cream

Slider: Explain?

Maverick: I mean he sure is ice cold, no mistakes, but also makes me happy!

Slider: Happy...?

Maverick: Yes, I can lick him

Slider: *Wheezing* MAVERICK NOOO

[roomiiroo]

Maverick: “playing dumb isn’t cute”

Maverick: Who says I’m playing? This is the default factory setting, and I have no idea how to turn it off

Maverick: There was assembly required, and they threw out the instruction manual and a box of screws. I’m being held together by tape and glue and some bubblegum

Ice:

Slider: Please pick someone else-

Ice: I want that one

Slider: *groans*

[highwaytothedangerzone502]

Slider: Still a pilot, then?

Maverick: What kind of stupid question is that? 'Still a pilot?' What else am I going to be, an aardvark?

[military-newsboys]

Rooster: How do you usually meet people? Ice: I'm retired. Rooster: From meeting people? Ice: I know enough people already.

Goose: *Talking about Iceman and Maverick* They make a cute couple, huh? Slider: They certainly are standing next to each other.

Maverick: Are you this rude to everyone?! Slider: Yup. Slider: Don't think you're special.

Okay apparently German!Slider is a big hit so

German Sli headcanons 🇩🇪🦅

grew up in West Germany (BRD) until he was about 16

His mom is German and his dad is American, so he has both passports/nationalities and is bilingual!

His parents divorced when he was 12 and his dad moved back to the states

Slider decided to follow him because his dream was to become a pilot (and the Bundeswehr just isn't as cool as the Navy in his opinion)

He's still in touch with his Mama and his grandparents (Oma and Opa <3) and the divorce didn't end in bad blood so they're all chill with each other

When he left for the states, his mom told him to never lose his German heritage and sends him food packages every once in a while

She also only speaks German with him so he's forced to not forget any of it lmao

Slider still tries to visit Germany for Christmas or Easter (most important Christian German holidays) if his schedule allows it

He's the master of Sprichwörter (proverbs) and will just randomly say them whenever they fit .. the others have no idea what the fuck he's talking about, they're just nodding along

Mav: *does something incredibly stupid*

Slider: Der denkt auch nur von der Wand

bis zur Tapete

-

Wolf: *tries patching up his jacket with

duct tape*

Slider: hält von 12 bis Mittag

-

Ice: I should've been there earlier

Slider: hätte, hätte Fahrradkette

Wolf begs him to teach him some swear words which results in him yelling "Krankenwagen" (ambulance) and "Schmetterling" (butterfly) around base (Slider is laughing his ass off)

Is the BEST at planning stuff but is also the most annoying about it. It's driving everyone up the wall that he may have every road map ever memorized but god forbid they try to take a short cut that isn't on there ...

The type of guy to print out his online tickets and put them in a Klarsichthülle (modern age!Sli of course)

Wears Birkenstocks with long, white socks and a Schnelle Brille

WILL find something to complain about in any situation ever - you can take the guy out of Germany, not Germany out of the guy

pt. 2 soon because i have so much to say about german slider, please feel free to leave input, especially my fellow german top gun enjoyers 🫵🏻

I'm gonna be honest, I see as more of a northern guy (Hamburg or Hannover probably) but because OP (me) is southern, he will be too for the sake of this video

@allforreading-fandomthings @jakekazansky @aryacoulson this is for you guys
