Of course hollywood has to have a female pilot to please the liberals. View Quote It’s the other bullshit they’ll try to put in there. I’m sure the new Goose will be a trans person of color with a disability. |

So the Tomcat scene at the end got me thinking......
The film crew came out to IKE last year and one of the crew said the plot was Maverick steals an Iranian F-14. I thought it was bullshit to throw us off the real plot but if an F-14 is in the movie.....who knows. Edit: Lincoln not IKE |

Should be "Old Midget Flys a Jet" not holding any hope... sorry Tom.

Music in the trailer reminds me of the Blade Runner 2049 and Terminator Dark Fate trailers. Will watch.

I’d say he has a great life. View Quote I don’t hate on him, I hope he insists the realism and epic ness be there. Otherwise why would you do it and blackened the original, it’s not like he needs the money or can’t get any other role. This could live up to the hype and if done right, surpass the original. |

I feel like I am repeating myself but he was in the front seat with an instructor in the back. Or maybe reverse but he was 100% flying. My JOs had even heard him on the radio while airborne. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

If someone told me Tom Cruise was actually piloting the F-18 in those scenes, I'd believe it. I'm 100% sure he's flying the P-51. |

So he gets shot down over Iran and steals a F-14 to get back. I wonder if the space suit is suppose to be super modern, or an old tech suit he steals when he takes the F-14?

Unless I'm wrong, no 18's have dual controls, so while the IP could coach him, he couldn't do anything but pull the plug if shit went sideways. Tom doesn't own that plane, the taxpayers do. Seriously, how'd he manage to get in the front seat? View Quote The aft stick is mechanically linked to the front stick. 2.10.9 Flight Controls. 2.10.9.1 Stick. A traditional center mounted control stick is used to provide pitch and roll inputs to the FCS. Since there is no mechanical linkage between the stick and the FCCs or the flight control surfaces, stick feel is provided by two feel-spring assemblies and two eddy current dampers. The feel spring assemblies provide a linear stick force versus stick displacement gradient in each axis. Two 4-channel position sensors, one in each axis, measure stick displacement and send longitudinal and lateral stick commands to the FCCs proportional to stick displacement. Stick force and displacement are listed in figure 2-23 for full stick travel. The eddy current dampers provide stick motion damping in each axis. Additionally, the control stick is mass balanced to minimize longitudinal stick movement resulting from accelerations normally experienced during catapult launch. In the F/A-18F (trainer configuration), a control stick is also fitted in the rear cockpit and is mechanically linked to the one in the front cockpit. 2.10.9.2 Rudder Pedals. Two rudder pedals (left and right) are used to provide directional inputs to the FCS for yaw/roll control inflight or NWS control with WonW. Since there is no mechanical linkage between the rudder pedals and the FCCs or the flight control surfaces, rudder pedal feel is provided by two feel-spring assemblies. The feel spring assemblies provide a linear pedal force versus displacement gradient. Two 4-channel position sensors, one on each pedal, measure pedal displacement and send directional commands to the FCCs proportional to pedal displacement. Rudder force and displacement are listed in figure 2-23 for full pedal travel. The rudder pedals are also used to provide NWS commands and to actuate toe-operated wheel brakes. In the F/A-18F (trainer configuration), two rudder pedals are also fitted in the rear cockpit but are not mechanically linked to the rudder pedals in the front cockpit. Pedal inputs from either cockpit are summed together and transmitted to the FCCs. A half pedal input from the front cockpit and a half pedal input from the rear cockpit results in a full rudder pedal command to the FCCs. Similarly, opposing rudder pedal inputs in each cockpit cancel each other. The EA-18G is the same as the F-18F except that for most of the time it is not configured as a trainer. The aft throttle has no button for the chaff dispenser. The aft stick trigger and A/G weapon release button are not functional. The rear cockpit A/A weapon select switch does not automatically select A/A master mode. From the rear cockpit, A/A master mode must be entered by actuation of the A/A master. They made Tom Cruise fly the aircraft through movie magic. Both the pilot and TC were dressed in the same flight gear. Both the forward and aft cockpit had camera placements in the same place. Both the pilot and TC made the same movements in the plane with their heads, hands and body placement. The movie magic came in with CGI, for certain scenes they would CGI swap the forward cockpit with the aft one. They filmed aircraft movements over and over, selected the ones that "looked right" and used them. |

My bet? He is the last Tomcat pilot left in the Navy and they need someone to fly an F-14 OPFOR as they work up to attack Iran.

They have a PC chick pilot, where's the tranny or non binary ones too?

The original was a great movie for the time, so I'll have to see this one also. The wifey will be all, well.......you know......! Mac

I had a friend who was a private pilot looking to get into a corporate job when the original came out. He loved the movie and enlisted in Navy Navcad program. Got his wings, eventually became a top-gun instructor and retired from the USN. Part of this movie was filmed in my backyard at Lemoore NAS. I will pay the $$ to watch it on the big screen.

Quoted: Speaking of punching... the original Top Gun was on last night. I started thinking about the ejection scene with Goose slamming into the canopy, so I had to do a bing image search on "F-14 ejection seat" http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-detail-ejection-rh-l.jpg When Goose pulled those black and yellow "cords" or "ropes" up top, I thought those were like connected to a "curtain" of sorts that got pulled down over the pilot's or RIO's face and upper body??? It also looks like the top of the ejection seat is designed to punch through a canopy if it has to all the while protecting the head/neck/spine??? @FlyNavy75 View Quote |
