like father like son

*SPOILERS* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "We hear Maverick say a few times in the sequel, "Talk to me Goose," but I actually got misty when we heard Rooster, Goose's son, say, "Talk to me, dad" during an intense fight. I didn't see that line coming, and LOVED IT!!!! It's a small thing, but a huge thing at the same time.

@@ZakEmber Even in death he still got their back.

@@spirz4557 You bet he does! Great balls of fire!

best sequel movie ever, I thought they don't make movie like this anymore. But am I wrong. Me as a 35 years grow ass man, cry like a baby in the cinema

yep i watch it ...replay it over at least 50 times straight til i get unstuck...i have to pull my self out of the "zone " it puts me in....so much adrenaline!!!!!! Then I found a street fighter 2 ken vs guile champion edition scene someone put together with this song playing on kens stage while they fought......pure ...fire!!!!!! Thank God for classic..legendary .....music and creativity!!!!!

LastGunfighter still look at it everytime sometimes it inspires me to even just go more than im willing to go

LastGunfighter yep!

I watch the movie every time it comes on and I also own it on dvd

All the time

And was repeated in the sequel Top Gun Maverick

Let’s turn and burn 🔥

Beautiful comment regarding a truly classy gentleman, one of the best...

@Thisanawadee Cook 😂 It's better you didn't have time to ask him about Robocop.....He's not in that one.

@Thisanawadee Cook I did not know that! I'm trying to imagine his hard ass look in robocop now!

A REAL good man. God bless him.

Interesting. Because with the new stealth F-35’s, the motto is that you can’t run, but you can hide!

It's amazing how much Goose playing hype man kind of amped up every scene he was in. None of those training dog fights would have had the same energy without him.

Goose was Mav's greatest hype man/cheerleader ;)

You can be my wingman anytime

@@colin641 GOD DAMMIT, THATS TWICE! I WANT SOME BUTTS!!

Even though ballistic is the opposite of what goose shouldv’e called. Ballistic means max speed

It's played w/ vocals in the end credits.

vash1053 Thank You! .. putting this in the car so I can pretend im flying next time im on the track lol :D

There's a really good recreation of the instrumental version. Just search for "Mighty Wings Fan Made Instrumental Version 2".

Mine too got it on my car playlist pretending im in the f14 😂🤙

Sounds a little like the theme in Street Fighter 2 for Kens stage 🎯

i watched a making of TG recently and the music choice was carefully done. the music was written to have lots of accents and treble, or it would be lost against the roar of jet engines. so lots of high up on the guitar scales! heroic leads and fills!

yeah, the break manuever he pulls isnt even remotely possible in that jet. He jus brought it vertical and they shot it so it looked as if he was breaking hard to a non aviator. Its clever, but in reality if he did do that move he wouldnt of had the energy retention to do much and would fall a few thousand feet before gaining back speed., if not outright losing alltogether control of the plane. Unless he breaked and then continued the upward verticle trend, but id still imagine his airspeed would be really low. Idk, i know more about prop plane dog fighting than jet plane dogfighting tbh.

I heard that this scene in particular was shot after the choreographed scenes and the director told the pilots to just do stuff they thought would look cool on camera...and we'll, we got this!

@@profo4544 The maneuver I think would work if he hoped or if he pulled up hit the brakes and then rolled inverted instead of pushing the nose down I think that would conserve his airspeed

38 years since I did plane guard duty for these birds in the I-O.

great catch.

He had to re use a lot of footage because apparently the navy didn’t want to cooperate with filming

Some times you have reuse shots especially back then. Great editing. You barely notice.

The flat spin & exploded planes were models. Everything else was real planes & real pilots

@@shadowbeast2276 the inverted flight over mig-28 while giving the finger was a cut and paste of two films into 1

Oh yeah! I saw a documentary on this movie. That guy who played Jester was in a restaurant. He said two military guys walked up to him and asked "You were in that movie Top Gun weren't you?" and when he said yes the guy replied very angrily "We signed up because of that god-damn movie". He said it got really tense. LOL!

Still is.

#facts💯🎯 I wanted to join sooo bad after seeing this!

I still want to join because of this movie lol

Not just the US navy. This movie must have been recruiting material for all air forces across the world.

That’s why he got chewed out for breaking the hard deck because it was totally pointless

The book "night fighter" has a similar story in it, a crew is chasing a German bomber all over England trying to get a shot at it but the German pilot is so good they can never get a shot. The fight ends with both planes diving towards the ground with the British pilot the first to decide they were too close to the ground. The German was only wrong by a few feet but at that speed it meant the end of the plane and crew. The British crew was awarded the "kill" even though not one shot was fired.

Why was jester down there?

@@johnnymossville Because Jester always had a slightly bad attitude, and used the hard deck as cheap way to avoid maverick and technically not get "shot down". But Maverick didn't give a hell and still went for it.

They set a hard deck or to be real a make believe ground. So by jester running below the hard deck he crashed into the ground.

You never, never leave your wingman

This comment didn’t age well lol

Hahhaha apparently the new one is crazy and no cgi

This Friday, I can’t wait.

@@mjrsouthpoint4740 I think the studio read my comment and was like “We’ll show this stupid bitch” 😆

Have you seen TOP GUN: Maverick? It’s insane with no. CGI 🙌🏾🙌🏾

"Hard Deck is 10,000" "Watch the mountains!" That always drove me nuts haha the hard deck is to keep you away from the ground

I was always under the impression that the Hard Deck just meant that he couldn't engage below 10,000ft, didn't mean they couldn't pursue or out manoeuvre each other below the hard deck. I assumed that the plan was to see what the pilots could do and test/improve their skills, then when the time is right, go above 10,000ft to provide the opportunity to make the kill.

Jester do be vibin tho

And those jets are about 40...

Bro the sequel comes out in 2020. dont blink or you'll miss a few years XD

Time does fly....2022

@@Nebechadnezzar “Great balls of fire!” 😎

2016 was already 6 years ago? Jesus Christ

lol I always laughed at this shit. Dogfights at 10 feet apart lol. No avionics in this planes. WW2 style lol.

Not the best, though one should remember that we were still in the Cold War and footage was in limited supply. Besides, it still has more high-altitude footage than the sequel and a better plot.

Wait, the F-14 came with rear-view mirrors? That's pretty cool old school, even for the 1970s-1980s.

@@LandersWorkshop Yeah, there was a row of them on the canopy arch.

@@M1tjakaramazov Wow. I see, I thought they were just another type of Gen 4 fighter, and those three in the air were the elite-tier ones, a cut above those ones destroyed.

@@LandersWorkshop Huh? Which are you referring to? Maverick and Goose are flying a stanadrd F-14. Jester is flying a Skyhawk to simulate the fictional MiG-28

Most beautiful fighter jet ever built - so glad it made a comeback in Maverick

Who cares.

The F-14 wasn't computer aided. Yeah the wings' angle were adjusted by computer, but that doesn't mean the whole plane's flight was controlled by computer. The F-16 and F/A-18 were the first fighters to actually feature FBW. The F-14 and F-15 were the last were the flight was purely "manual", with the flight surfaces being controlled by the pilot himself.

f 14s im pretty sure were known for being hard to control early on, didnt some famous female pilot die trying to land on a carrier in one? Yeah they were def pilot controlled. And the break manuever he pulls isnt even remotely possible in that jet. He jus brought it vertical and they shot it so it looked as if he was breaking hard to a non aviator. Its clever, but in reality if he did do that move he wouldnt of had the energy retention to do much and would fall a few thousand feet before gaining back speed., if not outright losing alltogether control of the plane. Unless he breaked and then continued the upward verticle trend, but id still imagine his airspeed would be really low. Idk, i know more about prop plane dog fighting than jet plane dogfighting tbh. And if u were to try that type of move in a prop fighter all ur energy would be gone and you would have to fall conciderably to gain it back, the positive of it is youll probably ditch ur enemy.

@@profo4544 Kara Hultgren, one of the first 2 female f14 pilots. In her case though she just made a mistake that became fatal when she didn't follow the NATOPS. The F14's with the newer engines could do high AOA maneuvers ,but to my knowledge it was the engines that were sensitive and would flame out if you tried in the older ones.

@@zerofox2030 yeah i remember my dad talking about it, revlon was her callsign i beleive.

Yeah, but no one gives a shit if the plane is slower. We just want awesome 80s rock music and jets flying around.

I'm not questioning your credentials but this film was filmed on navy ships with service members and active duty personal on set. How did the military advisors get it wrong? Was it just a Hollywood thing ignoring facts to make the movie seem cool?

@@dontcare7086 Um, yeah. They wanted it to look cool. That was the whole point. Flying jets isn't as much fun as you see in the movie ya know. And no hot 80s rock music.

@@dontcare7086 it was just Hollywood doing Hollywood stuff. Don't get me wrong, it was a great movie and the new one is even better. 99% of the people that watched it would never know any of these things were wrong. Like I said, I'm just an airplane nerd that spent some time in the navy so I tend to pick things apart. "Oh, they didn't do this right"... and "that right there would have never happened that way". It's not necessarily a good habit to have. My wife, daughter and Pastor all took me to Imax last week to see it. Afterwards, I mentioned that I thought there was very little in the movie that Hollywood got wrong and only airplane nerds like me would even notice. My pastor told me in his very pastor like way to basically shut up and keep it to myself LOL

To be fair...in some situations a smaller, nimble, lighter, less powerful aircraft can more than hold its own against a larger, more specialised fighter. In the UK, the USAF used to practice with their F-15s against the RAF Tornado F3s and Hawk T1s. In BVR mode, the F15 and F3 were pretty even as both had decent radar and AMRAAM. However close in the F15 was superior to the F3. The Hawk T1s though, caused the F-15s all sorts of problems. .

280StJohnsPl The pilot I flew with on that ride and all the aircrews in our squadron were Vietnam combat aircrews with most having time over the NorthThey knew their shit, learned in combatGreat guys....we crew chiefs respected them and truly liked them as well

My dad was on the Phantom project as a mechanic at McDonnell Aircraft. He loved working in the cockpit.

When was this? I was based at Alconbury in 85 and my shop was right next to the Flightline where the F4-Cs, F-5 Agressors, and TR1s took off.

Not as powerful as the A-4M, though. The M had an uprated engine, and a ton of avionics improvements

@@Tigershark_3082 Errr... believe it or not, i don't remember to write the post above...!! :P And i can't remember, what the hell is an "A-4F Super fox"!!

Lol yes. Death... by suicide! Seemed like a cop out by Jester IMO to avoid a loss.

Yes. Jester going below the hard deck was basically putting up the White flag but Maverick wanted to ensure the kill so he locked on jester.

They were both way below 10k the entire time

@@ArantiusVulpes The 10k is above sea level, not ground level

“Hard deck my ass we nailed that son of a bitch”

it is and then some.

@@krtlkid it’s great!! They pulled it off!! 👍😎

Same man. I'm so freaking hyped.

And what's more interesting is, Goose says in the bar scene that he'd be happy to find a girl to talk dirty to him. Looks like Goose wasn't exactly husband of the year material. There's a pretty good chance he was just running his mouth like guys do when they're out with their buddies, but you never know.

@@DV_Dark_Jedi Prolly the second part lol. Goose wasn't exactly a "Chad" type. Although Naval Aviators, especially back then got plenty of attention from vvomen in military towns/bases/port cities. And after Top Gun came out, OMFG, if you were ANY kind of pilot, let alone a fighter pilot, you were like an NBA player lol.

Actually I think that big dynamic looking twisty spin roll the tomcat does is a condition called inertial coupling , meaning the axial roll creates yaw and so the nose does not keep straight but swirls around like a spinning top. The tom w 2 widely spaced engines and wide body was prone to this. The plane is literally out of control to a degree here.

@@decimated550 that is so interesting thanks - those 4 seconds always blew my mind watching the plane twist like it was floating

@@charlescurtis6321 2:00 2:04

The discerning viewer.

Well the F-14 is actually incredibly maneuverable. Not even “just for its size”, flat out it’s a maneuverable aircraft. And the A-4 is VERY maneuverable. It has a 720 degree per second roll rate, which is incredibly high. So if the planes look “too maneuverable”, it’s not entirely the case. Sure there’s some clever camera work, but the Tomcat and Skyhawk were both very maneuverable.

@@rhysgoodman7628 yes I am quite keenly aware of what both aircraft are capable of.
