Remember going gaga over Tom Cruise in Top Gun? Perfectly coiffed and impeccably uniformed Lt Pete Mitchell aka Maverick. Didn’t he take our breaths away?

Now imagine getting to see the fictional lieutenant come to life, in flesh and blood, that too in Pakistan!

Briefing with Pride! [HASHTAG]#PAF[/HASHTAG] JF-17's Pilot briefing Ms. Tehmina Janjua, ambassador of Pakistan to Italy at [HASHTAG]#ParisAirShow[/HASHTAG]

9:50 AM - 14 Jun 2015

Squadron Leader Yasir was photographed while briefing Pakistani Ambassador to Italy Tehmina Janjua about the aircraft during the Paris Air Show. Sporting his black wrap-arounds and a candidly casual and carefree poise Sq Leader looked like Tom Cruise straight out of Top Gun.

Many people thought that the picture was a still from the movie until it was speculated closely and many others even mistook the pilot for the Hollywood heartthrob.

The uncanny resemblance of the two drew surprised reactions from users on Twitter and Facebook as well.

LOL... I bet no denomination of Christianity would like to associate with Scientology either!

I bet The Pope also despises Scientologists more than the Muslims!
