Bottom Gun

Bottom Gun: The opposite of Top Gun. A pilot who flies a simple mission and fucks it up so badly that he almost kills himself while starting an international incident. An example of this occurred on Tuesday March 14th 2023 when a Russian Su-27 fighter jet releases fuel as it approaches the rear of a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 drone in what the Pentagon says was "an unsafe and unprofessional intercept" over the Black Sea. Analysis of the film footage of the incident showed such inept flying that analysts started calling the pilot “Bottom Gun” — essentially meaning that he would never be represented as a hero in a Tom Cruise Top Gun Movie. Even though the actions of this pilot caused him to receive a medal; his “heroic efforts” also convinced NATO Allie’s to begin sending fighter jets to Ukraine. It’s a lovely war.
