A trip to IMAX Victoria to see Tom Cruise's largest grossing movie ever, Top Gun: Maverick, just took to new heights!
On Saturday July 30 2022, from 5:30pm until the screening starts at 7:15pm, movie-goers will be treated to a unique aeronautical experience. Join us for a free event where former fighter pilots Norm MacSween, Dan Dempsey, Ken Lett, Bob Saunders and Greg Matte will be on hand for a meet and greet to chat about their air force experiences.
The BC Aviation Museum will also be in attendance, and guests will have the chance to view a mini pop-up exhibit with ejector seat, model airplanes, and more.
Last but by no means least, grab those aviators and zip up that flight suit, as there will be a Top Gun Costume Contest with a prize package awarded to the best dressed member of the audience! Don't be shy, ingenuity and creativity are encouraged! To enter to win, simply snap a picture of yourself dressed up and tag @RoyalBCMuseum and #IMAXVictoria on Instagram.
Don't miss out. Tickets to Top Gun: Maverick that night are limited, and already flying!
PLUS: Due to popular demand, Top Gun: Maverick is now showing 7 days a week and has been extended until August 18 2022!
