Top Gun 2
Slight thread drift: I read somewhere (forgot where, sorry) that the bird maintenance-wise was an absolute nightmare: on average for every flight hour it needed 40 hours of fixing, and it wasn't exactly an easy job either.
Can anyone shed some light?

Sadly, the real stars of the film are no longer available...
Not widely available for filming of course. Not without the US being really really nice to Iran!

Now, now - TG was so bad it went out the other side of bad and became legendary...!
Kinda like ACDC - who are so bogan they are transcendant.
Hard to top that.
So... if Tomcat drivers listened to Kenny frikkin Loggins... I wonder what they'll use as the soundtrack for millennial F-35 jocks?
The Dicemen who showed off the F-22 at Avalon fooled around to this
It worked kinda well...

The Times:
Tom Cruise in Top Gun sequel after 30 years
When it came to planning a sequel to Top Gun, Tom Cruise never felt the need for speed. Ever since the 1986 film turned him from a hot Hollywood property into a global megastar, rumours of a follow-up have surfaced — only to be shot down like a MiG-28 that picked on the wrong US fighter pilot.
Cruise, 54, finally confirmed yesterday that Top Gun 2 is on the way. He has not lost that loving feeling after all. “It is definitely happening,” he told Australian TV, while promoting his latest film, The Mummy. “It’s true, it’s true,” he said. “I’m going to start filming it, probably in the next year. I know. It’s happening. It is definitely happening. You’re the first people I’ve said this to.”.............

This is the Grumman movie that inspired them to do Top Gun due to the cinema-style camera pods that had become available.

Still better than the movie afterwards.

Yup, and they could rename the movie TOPGUT!

People easily forget Hollywood only cares about making a buck, and sometimes they accidentally get it wrong and make something good.
I hate CGI, and I bet the remake would be full of it - CGI that is.
This is a shame because the F22 is real nice looking up close. +1 for the Dicemen too.

Using their Tomcat the Iranians did their own version of Top Gun already:
