As everyone knows, true pilots of any sort recklessly careen around the sky in their multimillion dollar jets while listening to wuss-rock. If one is to be a TRUE US Naval Aviator, then one must perform all their duties while listening to the soundtrack from Top Gun. In addition, the movie is a prime source of dogfighting tricks that will be essential when the aviator encounters the feared MiG-28. Such tips as "I'll hit the brakes and he'll fly right by me" and the feared "Inverted -3G dive while the RIO flips off the Russian" maneuver are a lifesaver for the would-be aviator.
An essential part of the F/A-18E is its advanced avionics. These avionics can take a large investment of time to master, and often, it takes some time to configure the avionics for a particular task. In this case, the pilot of the F/A-18 is ordering his "Post-Flight Meal." While the single seat F/A-18E does not have the luxury of a dedicated back-seat flight attendant, the electronics in the Super Hornet are capable enough to display the pilot's order on a display in the mess hall back on the carrier, so that a battle-weary pilot can minimize the standard Plane->Chow->Sleep cycle of normal operations.
