Re: where does this phrase come from?
Man, come on, getting all uppity on someone for the movie when you got an integral piece wrong? Cruise's call sign in the movie is Maverick.
Ghost Rider, not sure where that comes from, maybe it's a generic term.

Re: where does this phrase come from?
It's what the tower says to him when they are denying him a flyby. "That's a negative ghostrider, the pattern is full."
And im one of those tools that says this all the time. That and "For real." Im pretty sure I can carry out my daily functions using just those two phrases and communicate completely with anyone. In fact, I might just try to last 2 weeks using only those two lines. As long as I can order another drink by pointing to my empty bottle and going "for real". -JP

Re: where does this phrase come from?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] "Ghost writer" has a meaning. Since when does "ghost rider" mean anything? [/ QUOTE ] It was Tom Cruise's call sign in the movie. Jeez, everyone here who HASN'T seen the movie raise your hand. [/ QUOTE ] You are the one who needs to watch it, apparently.Tom Cruise's call sign in the movie was Maverick, not Ghostrider. All that "negative ghostrider" means is "No", in the colloquial sense; ie you ask me if I would like fries with that, and I could reply with "Negative ghostrider", which would mean that I don't want fries with that. But since you were being cocky and all, please continue.

Re: where does this phrase come from?
The anger this subject has generated is the reason I love the internet.
The callsign Maverick is what Cruise's pilot buddies all call him. It's a nickname. The callsign the air traffic controller uses to refer to the airplane Goose and Maverick are flying in is Ghost Rider.
