@Geek Exactly 🤣

@Geek Now I understand why the Rafale, Eurofighter and Gripen have those extra small wings (canards = katanas)

For nerds and DCS Pilots

Just came here to post exactly that! Lol

As a Mako maintainer...I can relate! 😁

Redball

It’s written off so don’t worry about it

@@178vxranger As an 18 maintaner, same

Maintainers HATE him!! Learn how he turned his jet from FMC to Hanger Queen in one simple trick!

I was a Framer for F-18s, at the "Rag" we had a whole flight (5 bird go full of students) come back in El Centro with cat 2 overstresses. I was "FDC" so I was walking to each recovering aircraft, noting what was broken on each one... 1,2,3,4 rolled in with no issues but a cat 2 overstress... #5 rolls in, with the instructor of the sortie... He hops out "Great jet Gents, have a good Friday"... I hit him with the standard "shooter" question " is there any issue with your 'G' override paddle?" He says, "Why the hell would that be an issue?" "Well sir, every other aircraft requires a cat 2 overstress inspection, I was wondering why you had the single exception"... His eyes got big, and he took a deep breath, he said "Y'all will have a couple cases of beer here shortly, I'll have a word or two on debrief"... We finished work Saturday morning, and the party that proceeded was something for the record books.

@@hackofalltrades446 Can you explain all of that for a layman? Sorry if it's a bother but it sounds interesting but I am completely lost

@@Taygon45sure. So the other few jets were fucked from g forces hoss. He acted like his jet was in good condition and didn’t need to be checked cause he was the big hoss. Now this is all pure speculation as I have absolutely no idea what is going on anyway. I do fly a dcs jet though 😅

@@Taygon45I am not an aviator, so take my help with a grain of salt. It sounds like they were doing maneuvers and the students used the 'G override paddle' to go past the limitation the planes are set too. The instructor did not use it, so his plane did not get any stress from high G maneuvers. The Tech asked him if there was a problem with his paddle because the instructor's plane didn't have those stresses, I assume that the Tech assumed that they were supposed to be doing high G maneuvers and the instructor just wasn't able too. The work is probably hard/annoying/time consuming, or any combination of the three, so the instructor gave them beer to stay on their good side, and said he would talk to the students for, presumably, being utter morons.

We noticed that at least one of their Picture or Threat calls were legit.

@Matt H Yep, she's the real deal. They just had her dumb down the dialogue so we civies could at least comprehend it.

Pay attention internet. This is how it’s done: Fun fact followed by the sauce. Well done D-Rez!

@@Gaidalcain2179 Appreciate it!

I did really appreciate that they got the E-2 support in this movie! Very few movies or shows give any time to those support craft. Battlestar Galactica’s Raptors are one of the only other good examples I can think of.

It's because the movie was made for children, with cartoonish mission and unprepared villains.

@@atanasangeliev the plot isn't even necessary in this movie and still bloody great. Stop bitching about it.

@@atanasangelievah yes the sequel to Top Gun a 1980s movie hit… for children…

@@atanasangelievfeels like you meant to comment this about a different movie lmao

@@sammosajowouldn’t call top gun anywhere close to a childrens movie

Ya think...

nice catch.

Or not.

No doubt about that it was so clear the story could only go in that direction but if a third movie really comes what will we see than Maverick as Admiral or still Captain i think with planes it will get difgicult too hes not the guy flyong 5th generation fighters i could even imagine seeing him in a F-16 or a F-15 why not but never in a Su-33 or any other Russian plane and all Navy fighters are outsorted if a new movie would ever come but were talking of Maverick damn he would even have the chance against them if he sits back into his old F-14

Skywalker callback, like the no-lase drip, and the whole canyon run and port to hit come to think of it. Use the force, Luke

I mean I don't think the SU-57 has a very low RCS. The engine nozzles are very big. The aircraft seems to be bare metal. The amount of nuts and bolts on the outside are insane.

That part’s accurate no? Su57 isn’t that stealthy

The Su 57 was never as stealthy as the Raptor or the F 35 in the first place.

If the radar operates outside the X-Band it would get a better picture. Also stealth is the front of the aircraft not above it.

@@jennyarriola324 , and we are need to take attention to that they were NOT servicing special coverage of the plane. So there’s stealth only on the paper.

Valleys exist, but not that extreme.

No doubt, a tank of sharks, with fricken lasers on their head, died in that bombing.

@@icecold9511 Oh sure.. but a valley will have a direction downhill.. In this case there would be a deep lake in the middle of this thing.

It’s Iran tho. You wouldn’t take a goat to prom but here we are.

Isn't diamond head on Oahu a crater kind of like that? Mt St.Helens is a close shape but has a hot floor. It could be a meteor crater(though a bit narrow) or the eroded core of a collapsed extinct volcano. (actually fairly common, but filled with a lake or glacier so yeah very bad for a secret lab)

What does hard broken mean? And why would this happen in a realistic situation?

@@aaronlebeauf423 essentially Maverick exceeded the amount of G forces that Super Hornet is limited to by McDonnell Douglas/Boeing. And to put it bluntly, the maintenance squadron attached to that fighter wing is going to have to strip that aircraft down the the bare hull and inspect EVERY nut, bolt, structural member, wiring harness, exterior panel, both engines, and avionics for stress damage. (And a later scene reveals that the jet in question will NEVER fly again because of the extensive structural damage Maverick caused) As some of the actual Air Force and Navy Aviation maintainers have mentioned in their comments, this jet just went from Fully Mission Capable, to Hangar Queen in a few seconds.

@@digitalrailroader yikes well that really puts it into perspective for me. Thanks for the explanation.

@@digitalrailroader My question is, wasn’t that 10g move in that type of plane required for the plan? Aren’t all the pilots going to have to do the same thing in order to be successful? Or is it because Maverick chose to do it faster than the original 2:30 time as the reason he went that fast to caused him to reach 10g? I’m also not sure what the purpose was of Maverick shaving off 15 seconds from the original plan.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 that is because it's a movie and the movie doesn't care about what sort of G forces the planes can actually handle. In the real world they wouldn't be making pilots do that since it would damage the planes and is not good for the pilots either.

Rooster was like "on your left"

Totally unrealistic, yes. Does it MATTER? Not to me when watching the movie.

Yes I agree. VERY UNREALISTIC

@@QuitCryingYouLost theoretically could be done

@@bobbythomas6520 Wrong very unrealistic.

😂

Well said

Why can't it be a realistic movie? Have you seen Das Boote? Saving Private Ryan?

@@MultiJamesman because most people commenting here are actual aviators.

@@MultiJamesman Not for planes. Shots wouldn't look anywhere as cool with realistic positioning. It's hard to get more than 1 jet in a shot realistically

@@MultiJamesman SPR is very authentic but there's still plenty of unrealistic stuff in it.

They didn't show the logical next scene, which is the Navy getting the hell out of dodge while defending against anti-ship missiles. Rather than celebrating on deck they should be shoving the Tomcat overboard to clear the deck since half the air wing would be on CAP anticipating a counterattack. But it's movie realism, so the heroes get their moment. As for Tomahawks, I mentioned it before but I think the attack requires sending a bomb straight down the shaft like a bowling ball in the gutter to get deep enough to take out the facility. I don't think a non-GPS guided Tomahawk could have that precise a flight profile. Of course if the bad guys had put a bend in the air shaft the plan wouldn't have worked at all. :D

@@apparition13 It's so unbelievable that there is an HVAC guy in Iran getting murdered by the Republican Guard along with his entire family believable. 😅

@@Heckleburger Not as unbelievable as the USN sneaking a carrier group into the Caspian sea*, since that's the only part of Iran that looks anything like Washington state. Of course the airbase coordinates are point Nemo, which is a spot in the south Pacific that is the spot on Earth that is the farthest from land, so it can't actually be Iran either. And if there is land there, I think the little boy was wrong about Maverick being on Earth. *Into the Black Sea, then the Sea of Azov, up the Don, across the (too small) canals connecting to the Volga, down to the Caspian, across lots and lots of Russian territory, without being noticed. Then sneak out again. I take it back, the conifers are the most unrealistic part of the movie.

Considering the promotion of the heavy cruiser Moskva to submarine in the Black Sea and the general ineptitude of the Russian navy, I don't think there's too much to concern a carrier group.

My gramps was a Navy pilot during Nam and his reaction to the plan when we watched this movie the first time was "Why the hell would you risk a carrier like this? Just tell them sub boys to sneak up, pop them in the mouth, and scoot away while everyone wonders where the hell the missiles came from. That's what they are for!" So, if it means anything to ya, gramps would 100% back your plan lol.

If you're still flying when you're 60, you'll be able to do it too. It's like old man strength, but with jets.

Well, it IS a scripted movie, sooooo

I am far from a military mind, but the comms in these moveis always give me chills. I can't imagine how it feels when you know your shit and then hear accurate comms in a movie. That must be such a rush for them. I know they say some of it is not correct, and you can actually kind of tell when the movie dialogue feels out of place to the more accurate comms. But it's still really fuckin' awesome and gives me goosebumps every time.

But it’s just a script they are reading. I don’t see why they are so impressed?

@@JSE4 I think because she is really a trainer for that plane, really in the military. She was so good, they said to just let her do it instead of teaching some random actor.

Gonky is the happy boi with that helicopter ball cap and pop in his hand and that default smile 😃

‘We’ll figure it out when we’re there’

Fnarr fnarr fnarr.... Tatiana!

You gotta have confidence, and I think that's what separates them from us. That irrational belief to make the impossible possible. They are a different breed. I am not American, but these guys and many like them have my eternal respect. You gotta have some real stones to put your life on the line like that.

Wait sorry about that I read your comment wrong lol

Yeah it's pretty much the same plot, only difference is that Yoda didn't die in this one.

Spot on.

I saw it 3 times, and once on iMax. My dad was a 20 year Navy pilot(helos and multi-engine) and he lived long enough to see the trailer for TG:M. I think he would have enjoyed this one even more than the original.

It was certainly cool to look and listen to.

Yup. They liked her so much they put her in the movie. Same thing happened with someone in the original. Tech advisor is doing such a good job showing them how to do it they ask them to do it.

Yup. About time the Hawkeyes got some love from Hollywood

@@apparition13 Also happened with R Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket. He was brought on to advise an actor how to play a drill sergeant. But when they saw him do it, they said "Nope, put Ermey in the movie."

@@Astro95Media modern day remake would be so funny. “Steers and queers” “Sir we aren’t allowed to say that anymore! Get down and give me twenty Drill Sergeant!”

Like they said its like seeing Mystery theater 3000 or Cinemasins.. we love the sarcasm and critic from those who know and that doesnt mean we hate the stuff

I find it amusing.

@@JK-dv3qe From someone that prefers accuracy and realism, Top Gun 1 was trash compared to Top Gun Maverick. Yeah I mean it was cheesy but the flying was unreal.

@@JK-dv3qe the movie was incredible. No movie is going to be 100% accurate, its intention is to entertain. The story may be cheesy, but the star of the show was the jets with the cast playing secondary roles. The greatest flying scenes of any movie or documentary of all time.

Though it doesn't happen often, infantry get to see demos in training of what happens when you try to close with AAA rapid-fire guns platforms. They literally cut infantry lines in half and also soft skinned vehicles. That's the sort of 'infantry walks into an ambush' scenario, but even still... not something you want pointed your way.

that gun is freaking awesome.huge bullets! there are versions zsu 23-2,-3 and 4 and there is a good video from one crazy russian shreding everything with it

The Shilka was my primary target on the battlefield as an M47 Dragon anti tank gunner in the USMC. 1986

@@68pishta68 Same with us, all AA assets, before tanks, in 1991, although the opportunity never materialized.

Ppp

Underrated comment.

That's what I though, salvoing all the missiles at once somehow looked off.

4500 pieces of shrapnel, not 4500 kg ;)

@@Chris11249 :)

Yeah - Newa SC from Poland is what it looks like, way too old for the force that has SU-57. They should have used Pantsir(SA-22 NATO) or Tor(SA-15 NATO), and placed them at the bottom of the valley. How do you get those massive things on the ridge and keep them operating? No way. Also Pantsir does have cannons. Which is what should have been used as the range is too short. Also as the guys mentioned the range of those missiles is good enough to take out all of the planes over the sea.

You see Phoenix immediately roll left as soon as she clears the bridge though and then in the next shot she’s continuing to roll left to match Mav’s bank. Looks fine to me.

@@davidliu323 I was inverted.

@@rotyler2177 *cough* bullshit

@@davidliu323 Correct, we have a shot showing Bob looking back at the bridge while Phoenix begins to roll their aircraft to the left. Then when it cuts from an internal cockpit shot to the external view again, their Super Hornet has *exactly* the same roll angle as in the internal shot (about 15 degrees right), still rolling left. There's zero lost time in the cut. I mean I'm using a lot of words to describe it here, but it's BLINDINGLY obvious for folks with their eyes open.

@@davidliu323 correct...Phoenix rolled left...but Mav rolled right. So one of them overcorrected to show them both leveling out in the same direction. I just watched it again to make sure what I was seeing was indeed what I was seeing.

We loved the movie too, as well as your breakdown. Awesome stuff guys!

I can't wait to watch all of them in sequence together.

Enjoyed it.. Please do one on #battle fairy yukikaze. It has 5 episodes.... Episode 1, 2 and 4 has most of the air combat.. I loved it.. I am sure the viewers will love it too.. But i wanna know from a real fighter pilot how realistic they are.. Please..🙂🙂 see you on the next maverick ep..

Love it. Man, this is so so so good.

When is part 6 coming out? I assume it's when Mav and Rooster go against the SU-57's? That's what I've been waiting for for like 2 weeks.

timestamps in the hh:mm:ss hour-minute-second are cool in these cases, and provide a quick link to the section you mention in your coment and will also surely get you upvotes :)
