Unmanned, better informed, not educated.

Top Gun 2 Trailer

Here it is ....

You Tube

[Meester proach]

I hope most of the flying is real and not CGI - ed to death.

[tartare]

Well - that cat shot didn't look like CG...
Maybe the little guy overcame his fast jet airsickness.
He's done a lot of flying both fixed and rotary of all sorts of types since the original film
The low level wide angle shot looking back at him with the package of jets surrounding him was a bit too perfect.
It'd have to be CG if he's flying a single seat Hornet.
But the rest?
Looked like real jets to me.
There was one brief shot where he seemed to be wearing a full pressure suit helmet, or am I wrong?
And not an F-35 to be seen, unless I missed them.
Personally - looks grittier and darker as opposed to the original cheese.
Hoooaaahh - can't frikkin' wait.

Notice the P-51 at 1:30 in the trailer. That's more than likely Cruise's P-51.....which he owns and flys himself. I'd cut him some slack. He also did his own Aerostar flying in "American Made".

Anybody else here own a P-51?

No disrespect intended.
Also did some pretty tricky flying for a low time pilot in an AS350 in Queenstown for the Mi6 chopper chase scene.
See the descending corkscrew turn here:

And by all accounts, a very humble chap in person.

Well, in a brush with fame, I gave Tom one of his first flying lessons in a helicopter. He did ok for a fixed-wing driver, it was only when the speed got below 30kt that he started to have troubles. But for a first go, he did pretty well. And agreed, a very likeable fella, happy to have selfies.

Bit of John Boyd to the storyline too.
"You should have been a two-star admiral by now, but here you are - Captain. Why is that?"
Nice.

Cruise at Comic-con: no CGI.

shut your whore mouth!!!!!

[Maxibon]

Just a whole new bunch of pilots: "Zimmer", "Alzhi", "Warfarin" and "Dribble". I feel the need, the need to pee again; once before briefing, another before out brief, last one before walking , and oh whoops.....

[Treble one]

Was that a shot of the Mighty F-14 right at the end of the trailer-or am I just hoping for too much?

PS the shots of TC in the F-18 clearly look like he's in the rear seat of a 2 seater?

[tartare]

Yes - that's cos Goose's son is up the pointy end flyin' the thing!
Nice that they shot him off the front of a carrier for real though.

yes, the F14 is in the movie

[Tashengurt]

Now who's still flying F14s? 🤔

[ORAC]

Just reuse footage or take-outs from the first movie.

A certain middle Eastern republic whom the Yoonyeted Staytes ain't too happy with at the moment I think...?
Or are their ones all broken now...?

Gutsiest move I ever saw.


Please don't bring Kelly back.

Isn't that the cast from Space Cowboys?

Yes, that is Cruise's own plane. We use the same DAR that put it into experimental. Same guy did the Astar for Mission Impossible.
