Air Industries Group Issues statement on Top Gun: Maverick and Lady Gaga Music Video
Bay Shore, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE) --Air Industries Group (NYSE American: AIRI)
an integrated Tier 1 manufacturer of precision assemblies and components for mission-critical aerospace and defense applications, and a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Defense, issued the following statement:
On behalf of the very hard working team at Air Industries Group we thank the men and women of the United States Navy, Tom Cruise, and the rest of the cast and crew of the fantastic movie “Top Gun: Maverick” for their extremely uplifting and entertaining film, and for their showcasing of our excellent landing gear for the F/A-18.
We also thank Lady Gaga, and her team, for including our beautiful landing gear in her music video of “Hold My Hand”, the love theme song for the movie.
Landing gear, components, and other flight critical parts are rarely thought of in the cinematic World, so we understand why we were left off the IMDB credits of this summer block-buster, however we feel compelled to take the opportunity to point out that, without perfect, flawless, operation of landing gear, this movie would obviously be impossible.
Above all, we also want to thank, this Memorial Day, those in uniform serving today and to those who bravely served in the past, we honor you today and every day. It is because of you that we can be the great country we are.
“God Bless America & Pass the Popcorn.” Said Chairman of the Board, Michael Taglich.
Air Industries is a manufacturer, under license from Boeing, of Landing Gear used on the F/A-18 Fighter Aircraft and the E2D Hawkeye featured in the film. We are proud of our contribution to the effectiveness and safety of Naval Aviation – and to all of the United States military.
