Welcome to English at the Movies.

Where We Teach You American English Heard at the Movies.
The 1986 movie Top Gun is about a group of American military pilots training at the Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School student Pete Maverick.
Mitchell is a skilful pilot who sometimes ignores rules to have a little fun.
On one training flight, he makes a request to an air traffic controller.
Listen for the words Buzz, the tower tower.
This is Ghost Rider requesting a fly by negative ghostwriter.
The pattern is full.
No, no, man, this is not a good idea.
Sorry, use, but it's time to buy the tower.
Yeah, What do you think, Buzz the tower means?
Is it flying an aircraft in a way that looks like a bird in flight?
Or flying an aircraft unexpectedly low and close to the ground, requesting a fly by negative ghostwriter?
The pattern is full.
It's time to buy the tower.
Sure, the answer is B.
Flying an aircraft low and close to the ground, a risky action in real life.
A Navy pilot would probably be punished for buzzing the tower, and that's English at the movies.
