I will adopt. 🥰🥰🥰
even though they can reach mach 2.0 speeds, concordes much prefer life as couch potatoes. if you have a fenced airfield and neighbours who can tolerate sonic booms, please consider rehoming a retired concorde today
1. Hondo can fix anything.
2. "Teaching what? How to recycle perfectly good airplanes?"

8. Bob and Phoenix sticking up for Mav.
9. MavDad moment.
Mav: Would you punch your best friend in the face for $100?
Ice: I would punch you in the face for free.
Mav: *tearing up* I'm your best friend..?
i swear this was meant to be happy but i have nothing to post atm
Penny loves vinyl records. She collects them, and loves going to second-hand record stores.
Personally adopting all of these headcanons. I love them!
Just some thoughts about my fav WSO and her interactions with her fellow airmen ❤️
She's Omaha's wingman (no pun intended) because even though he's fine as hell, he's horrible at flirting with women. She was ecstatic when he finally asked out the nuclear engineer she befriended on an aircraft carrier.
She loves playing bartender. She first started making mocktails, but progressed into more advanced alcoholic drinks. She eventually got her liquor license and is the only pilot Penny allows behind the bar.
Her Mandarin sometimes slips into her English subconsciously. It's mostly a lot of 哎呀 (āiyā, kinda like a sigh of frustration). She says it for any level of inconvenience, whether it be dropping her pen or when Omaha decides to invert the plane unannounced 🙄
She can literally fall asleep anywhere. If you gave her a blanket and a pillow, she could probably fall asleep on the tarmac.
When Halo brought Fritz and Yale home for Lunar New Year, her family instantly instantly hit it off with them. Even the aunties tried to set them up with their daughters.
She has a really good singing voice that carries and is Rooster's go-to duet partner when he's playing a song on the piano with two singing parts.
Her vision corrects to 20/20 with contacts, but she sometimes uses her glasses if her eyes are irritated. She loves her glasses because she deliberately chose the chunkiest pair the store had (think 1980s plastic square frame glasses).
She regularly quotes sci-fi movies, even if no one understands the references. Fanboy was so excited when he realized she was also a Trekkie.
There's a soundtrack playing in her head 24/7. Sometimes she'll just randomly bop her head and tap her pen to whatever she's jamming out to in her mind.
Her favorite pair of sunglasses were picked out by Phoenix at a gas station in Lemoore. She got them matching ones in different colors.
She usually doesn't lie, but when she does, you can tell because she scrunches her nose (it's adorable)
new headcanon for the dialogue here:
rooster, pulling back from the hug, laughing to himself: “you know, I always dreamed of flying with you as a kid.”
mav, visibly touched, smiling like a doofus, probably concussed let’s be real: “hmm. and the verdict?”
rooster, exhausted smile, shaking his head, definitely concussed amirite: “absolutely never again.”
and then they laugh and the photo’s taken 📸❤️
They were not
maverick knows his pilots miss him because of the little things they share. the texts he gets and the pictures. always at random, sporadic and unprompted.
things like —
fanboy telling him they nailed a test run for a new mission because of the way mav taught them to fly.
you two would’ve done that all on your own. proud of you.
phoenix telling him she’s up for promotion and hoping he can make it to the ceremony since it’s his fault she’s gotten even better in the air.
you were always going to soar, phoenix. i’ll be there.
coyote telling him, not for the first time, how grateful he is that maverick knows the importance of getting everyone home alive.
nothing wrong with a little hope, right?
just. small things that make mav’s chest ache every time with something proud and fond and soft because he may not be flying for the navy anymore, but these kids are absolutely making sure he still feels like he is.
