This homemade costume for boys entered our 2017 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Bob, the 'Maverick Top Gun Pilot' costume creator:

My son Sean is wearing the Top Gun Pilot suit. He has special needs and the F14 jet surrounds his wheelchair. The idea came from building a custom costume that can include his wheelchair. The materials include:
- Card board
- 4 dixsy cone cups
- 4 cans of grey spray paint
- 3 Top Gun stickers
- 2 plastic outdoor plant vases
- 2 small bungy cords
- 2 medium hard rubber bungy cords
- 2 metal hinges from gate for bed (allows large wings to fold vertically to go between doors and rooms)
- 2 black plastic binder clips ( goes on either side of the roses bush cover for the small bungy cords to connect and go over a large push pin in card board)
- 1 rose bush styrofoam outdoor cover
- 1 styrofoam cone and small flat circle
- 1 large push pin
- 1 Bluetooth wireless speaker connected to phone to play Top Gun music
- 1 pair of air force bomber sun glasses
- Aluminim foil to wrap card board paper towel holders for missles
- Velcro - used to anchor card board frame to wheel chair
- Small amount of black weed barrier cover.

- spray adhesive used to hold card board pieces
The jet it self broke down into six pieces for travel.
