Top Gun 2
The funniest way to watch the original is with the subtitles turned on . One of the pilots I flew with years ago had never seen the movie . He watched it with his husband and they both had a good laugh . It is how Americans do Camp 
Far better is the Star Wars Top Gun mash up. Just love the marshaller.
"Danger Zone : the Making of Top Gun" 2004 is a good watch. Granted Jerry Bruckheimer was the producer but Tony Scott made the movie what it is as director and his take on the whole thing is interesting.
Tom also flies his own chopper stunts in the Squirrel.
I had the pleasure of giving him a lesson in a B47 Soloy back in 2003, he did OK for a fixed-wing driver.

I thought Top Gun 3 was nearly ready for release, didn’t they start making it after the original release date of Top Gun 2? If they keep releasing all these previews, we will all have seen Top Gun 2 before it’s actual release in Cinemas.
It would be fun to use real iranian air force Tomcats for shooting top gun. Top gun used to be about real air to air filming not computer graphics that never seem to get it right.

The original Top Gun did use some special effects models (they didn't really put a Tomcat in a flat spin, or shoot one down in the dogfight at the end of the film). The CGI I've seen of the latest Top Gun so far appears to be a cut above what you'd usually expect in a movie, and it seems they've used it sparingly (they can't really fly an F-14 against an Su-57, and they can't really shoot down a Super Hornet). Fingers crossed that remains the case when it's actually released,
Interestingly, that Northrop Grumman movie uses the theme music from The Final Countdown, which is arguably the best US Navy carrier aviation movie of them all.

NSS, I was being a trite facetious. In plain English, it has taken so long to release Top Gun 2, oh wait it hasn’t been, that they have had enough time to make Top Gun 3. If they keep releasing “previews”, the film will already have been released, before it is released.

Top Gun 3 would finally have to feature the F-35. They seem to have missed it this time.
I remember when talk of Top Gun 2 first came out, and the rumour mill was saying it would be about drone operators. Thank god THAT didn't happen!!
Hopefully TG3 won't be about sustainable aviation with electric fighters dogfighting.
Salute!
Maybe it will have renewable aviation fuel?
That way, every time a jet fired up the shelter would make you think you were entering a Burger King!
Gums wonders....
