Val Kilmer: Iceman On the Mend

Somebody get Maverick on the horn ... Val Kilmer appears to be on the road to recovery, and ready for a wingman.

Val was spotted at Heathrow Airport Wednesday, looking the best we've seen him in a long time. You'll recall, about a year ago he was getting treatment for what doctors suspected was a tumor on his throat -- and he's rarely been seen in public since then.

He's been taking in some London plays recently and touring art galleries.
