Top Gun 2

Hmm - so he gets to fly the SR-72...?

The rocket powered commode in the Shornet has a weight limit of 290 pounds, that isn’t going to get Val up the rails.

I also recall hearing that many naval aviators only get 2 years of actual sea time, how are they going to explain Mav riding catapults for over 30 years as a Captain ?

No doubt you've all seen the trailer...

Tom C just posted this on his Twitter feed - excellent behind-the-scenes clips.

In addition to the trailer for the new film, there is also a very good "behind the scenes" video which shows how they filmed some of the flying sequences and how all the actors had to fly.

I used to love MAD magazine, especially Don Martin's wacky cartoon strips!

Woo hoo - a few greyed out, queezy looking actors there - love it. Good on them and props to Cruise.

That does look really impressive in those videos. I wonder if there will be good plot to go with it.
The movie "Lemans" is considered by many to be the auto racing equivalent of porn - no plot to speak of but worth watching for the really good auto racing video (some of the best ever filmed).
I wonder if this new Top Gun might be the same thing for fast jets

Funny that this movie doesn't feature the new F-35 but the oldish F-18. The Tomcat was top notch back then.

The F-14 was around 12 years old when the first Top Gun film was released.

I guess the trouble with the F35 would be as it’s single seat only, any cockpit shots would have to be CGI🤔 I’m sure F18 is also easier to borrow from the USN for filming

"Only man to shoot down three enemy planes in the last 40 years."

Erm... doesn't that title go to Col. Cesar "Rico" Rodriguez? A former A-10 Attack and F-15C Fighter Pilot, two kills on Desert Storm and another on Allied Force.

Just sayin'.

I believe two others just fit within the “last 40 years” timeframe from their exploits down South in 1982, including our poster here Mowgli.

I thought Mowgli only had 2 kills (not counting helicopters)?

He's a legend - I'd love to have a beer with him.

I guess it may have had something to do with access, the absence of any 2 seaters for the aerial footage, and maybe looks. The Lightning looks great in planform by side on its an ugly beast.

That'll be Le Mans. Lemans was a far inferior movie, only surpassed in awfulness by Cats
