This joy stick was not only designated the official Top Gun joystick by Paramount pictures, but also endorsed by Col. Phil “Hands” Handley. The only fighter pilot to achieve a supersonic Mig kill with guns during Vietnam. He claims “Tough and reliable like the F-4 Phantom, quick and deadly like an F-15 Eagle…Top Gun by Thrustmaster is a real ace”. If this cool fully functioning joy stick in great condition is not enough then the original box and catalog makes it worth while to own. And do not forget that Trustmaster is was also a strategic partner with NASA for the Space shuttle program at that point in time. The box does have some storage damage, but all complete and measuring 22,5 cm or 9 inches high, fitting the joy stick snugly. Do check the attached youtube link for loads of video game commercials from the 1980’s.
