Tom takes James for a ride in his Mustang.

I'm no fan of Tom Cruise the actor, but I absolutely loved this.  I wish he would take me flying.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Of course the media as usual have no idea what the difference is between a jet and a Mustang as seen in the titles “wild jet ride” and “‘Top Gun’ fighter jet.”

Didn’t see that far into the video, in any case, knowing how the media is when covering anything aviation related, they probably thought the Mustang was a jet also 😂😂 Don’t know how many times I’ve seen them report news on prop planes and call them jets, especially twin engine prop planes.

Can't wait for the movie. Cruise does stunts and goes for realistic imagery and minimum of cgi. His movies are all make believe of course. Critics have never been more united in favor of a movie. I see no hint in any review that there is going to be some social or political message to distract from the fun. You will probably make money betting in Vegas this movie wins best picture Oscar.

Well he did fly in  a jet. Its later in the video after the Mustang. Best bit of the vide actually. They just accompanied the headline with an image of the Mustang. 

 

Edit: Apologies, just seen that its already been pointed out.
