Vincent Aiello spent nearly 25 years in the US Navy as a fighter pilot. He rates the realism of fighter-pilot scenes in popular movies. Vincent flew the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. He has completed over 3,800 flight hours and 705 carrier landings, and served as a TOPGUN instructor and air wing operations officer. He left the Navy in 2017 to become a commercial airline pilot. He also hosts the popular podcast "The Fighter Pilot Podcast."
Vincent analyzes the realism of dog-fight scenes in "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "Iron Eagle" (1986), and "The Final Countdown" (1980). He also rates scenes with fighter pilots attacking other craft, such as "Air Force One" (1997) and "Independence Day" (1996). He looks at stunts featuring US aircraft such as "True Lies" (1994), "We Were Soldiers" (2002), and "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007). He breaks down the skills of Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" (1986) and addresses why fighter pilots have nicknames such as "Maverick."

He gave pretty high scores. In many cases, I would have awarded one less. And he DID address the issue with the guns, where even a Vulcan or GAU/8 sounds like a single-barrel gun in most movies. Heck, even in the StarGate SG-1 series (backed by the Pentagon(tm) ), there's that one A-10 attack scene, where you get a very slow "dakka-dakka-dakka" sound not exactly unlike the M60, instead of the iconic _brrrrrrrrrrrrt_ of a real GAU-8.

I read a story recently about the filming of the Final Countdown. They had real difficulty with the F-14 vs Zero because the F-14s just could not maintain the airspeed slow enough. They also didn't have many opportunities with these aircraft because as it turns out, renting (paying the fuel, etc) an F-14 was very expensive. The Navy didn't donate their time.

@Whiskey11Gaming 9 ай бұрын

That doesn't surprise me at all. The T-6 Texan used in the movie to represent the zero has a top speed of about 181 knots. A fully configured for landing F-14 is going to fly around 135-155 knots with gear down, full flaps, and the airbrakes deployed (yes that's the F-14's landing configuration, including the airbrake). The flaps on the F-14 had a max maneuvering speed of about 225 knots and about 3.5g before they'd get jammed. Not a lot of room to play there. Basically, the T-6 Texan would be flat out and the F-14 would be as slow as is possible and maintain flight. As for the particular scene, having flown similar dissimilar engagements in DCS World using the F-14 vs FW-190's in a joke event, the closure speed makes for some DICEY passes. Sad they didn't point out that Final Countdown got the sounds right for the M61A1 Vulcan! :)

@Cirux321 7 ай бұрын

@@Whiskey11GamingC.W. Lemoine has a video in his channel doing a livestream with one of the F-14 pilots in Final Countdown. Even he was saying how difficult it was due to the huge gap in speed. And originally they used a Helo to film the air scenes and that added another issue. They couldnt ever get all the aircraft in the shot. They ended up modifying an old B-24 to film from and the Tomcats were pushed hard to get slow enough. Considering those were A models with the TF30 engines, pretty impressive. Wasnt as taxing with the B and D with the F110 engines that allowed the Tomcats to perform well in slow, high-alpha maneuvers. And YES! One of the rare movies that gets the M61 cannon sound right. The .50 cal M2 sound movies tend to use is irritating.

Worked on the F-15 for 3 years before moving over to the A-10.

The "Broken arrow" code he talks about means "We are being overrun, bomb my position" which only was used a couple of times during Vietnam, and the first time was indeed during Ia Drang valley. It isn't actually related to the air force code for losing a nuke, the Army and Navy codes are different but I can see the confusion about it. And yeah, films from the battle show the Skyraiders dive bombing from very low altitude, I am assuming they went so low to identify their targets. "We were soldiers" is actually pretty historical accurate unlike "Braveheart" and the "Patriot". Maybe because it is based on the book written by the guy Mel plays and that they had both real footage and vets to help them to get things right.

@ejrupp9555 2 жыл бұрын

Yup, 'Broken Arrow' in that time frame meant, "we are in immanent threat of being over-run without the capacity to do a god damn thing about it." It was a request for all stationed aircraft and assets not currently in combat to divert to the coordinates and report when they were on station or in visual range for direction to targets. Radio would direct targets relative to signal smoke areas or at will outside of smoked areas. If there were artillery assets, radio would give walk it back coordinates to their position. The rumor was that artillery would continue to that position if they heard radio verbally sign off - meaning to not let them take me. I think the later was not a policy but a soldiers agreement that was understood in that time. Both of my uncles were Vietnam radio operators with the Cav. They told a lot of stories about how many times they came close to calling it.

@@AlvinDarmawan05 It tends to be more of a movie thing to have the callsign written on the aircraft. The name and rank of the pilot isn't secret information. You are allowed to tell the enemy your name, rank, and serial number so they can report you captured, or if they found you dead the information is on your dog tags, to the International Red Cross. The IRC would then report that information on to the enemy government, who in turn should let the family know. The names are written on the aircraft in case any identification on the body is destroyed. Though I think that the US has stopped writing the names on the aircraft recently as now only the commanding officer and executive officer have assigned aircraft. The other members of the squadron get aircraft assigned on a mission by mission basis.

The other sobering fact was the whole moral plot line of the movie itself - they acknowledge the Grandfather Paradox type of scenario and choose to let history play out. Very underrated movie.

One of the hardest things to believe about Zero Hour is that the Zero wouldn't be that hard to take down. The thing that made the Zero so dangerous wasn't just that it could go real fast, it's that it could drop down real slow. In fact, its listed top speed was rarely ever actually pushed, and somewhat amusingly, due to engine types, weight, etc, a Zero could run slow for a LONG time. F14s are big and heavy and gulp down fuel like nobody's business. And remember, the faster you're going, the wider your turn radius. So that F14 could be fighting a stall while that zero's turning on a dime and taking potshots at him. They probably still wouldn't WIN, but unless that tomcat engaged at range and finished the fight long before they were ever seen, that's not gonna go the way they want it to. Tomcat can shoot from afar, but that zero can Happily go toe to toe right up inside that envelope. Also it would make a lot more sense to me for the tomcats to splash the zeroes at range. The last thing they want is to be spotted, and if Either of those zeroes go home and report that they saw a big flat flame-belching variable-geometry bubble-canopy fighter jet in the air that could push 1300 knots in the 1940s, that's gonna have WAY worse outcomes than "Two planes disappeared under mysterious circumstances".

I was in Key West and was lucky enough to be working with my father who was the consultant and A&I for the Zero's on The Final Countdown. One of the Zero pilots was Archie Donohue, WWII Ace. The Zero's were AT-6 Texan trainers that had been converted for the movie Tora Tora Tora. When the F14 (flown by Fox Farrell) blew by the Zero (flown by Donohue) and the Zero got caught in the jet wash, Archie ended up with a huge bruise on his thigh from the stick slamming into him. The Zero's were flying with the throttles to the stops and the F14's were flying at stall speed just to get them both in the same shot. Big shout out to Lloyd Kaufman for being so cool to us while we were there.

@@greghavens7679 A T-6 Texan flying flat out can hit about 181 knots. The F-14's LANDING configuration (gear down, flaps down, air brakes deployed, hook down (for carrier landings) was between 135-155 knots depending on weight. The problem is the main flaps had a max airspeed of 225 knots and a maneuvering g limit of 3.5g. Not a whole lot of wiggle room in those ~30 knots, and the F-14 just isn't as impressive looking in a near landing configuration and it's quite dangerous to maneuver aggressively at those speeds. Having messed around in DCS world with the F-14 vs FW-190's, the closure rate problem is huge and can make for some dicey passes... the FW-190 is a good bit faster than the Texan is =|

Hey its Jell-O! Personally I would've deducted an extra point or two for the Harrier hover scene in True Lies. Harriers are not remotely like a helicopter+plane hybrid. The jet engines run a lot hotter and need the airflow from flying or else they overheat. When hovering water is injected to keep the temperature down, and they only carry enough coolant to last around 90 seconds. They have that hover capability so that they can take off and land on amphibious assault ships, but in a combat zone they just operate like a normal fixed wing aircraft.

Well he was a navy pilot for 20 years lol he actually had a pretty interesting career. He originally flew F-18’s for the navy (on a aircraft carrier for a few deployments too), then he became a TOPGUN instructor for few years, then he flew F-16’s as part of the Navy’s Aggressor squadron (flew as the “bad guy” for training exercises). And now he’s an airline pilot. Aviation enthusiasts are a special breed of enthusiasts. My husband had grown up on and next to airports with a life long love for aviation, He can tell you what’s flying overhead just by the sound, no need to look (about 95% of the time), and tell me the whole history of the plane and what it’s capable of. Same if one pops up in a movie or TV show. I will say it’s tough to watch certain action movies with him, because whenever they do something insanely realistic, he points it out and explains why lol
