2, 5, 8, 22, 32 and 40

2. Top Gun (1986) or Top Gun Maverick?

Top Gun (1986) all the way. TGM is absolutely beautiful and it's definitely one of the movies ever for me, but like...you just can't beat the og.

5. Favourite scene?

THE DAGGER LAUNCH SCENE IN TGM. THE MUSIC. THE LIGHTING. THE ✨ TENSION✨ it is perfect in every way

8. Favourite plane used in the movies?

if this includes the planes that appeared for like 2 seconds in random background props...

22. If you had the time and resources would you get a pilots license? Why or why not?

ABSOLUTELY 100% WOULD FLY. Its a dream for me but alas, planes are expensive, I don't have a job and only have like 20 dollars 😔

32. Dress whites, service khakis or flight suits?

Dress whites!!!! they're just so pretty.

40. Favourite manoeuvre used in the movies?

the cobra maneuver is iconic but the kvochur's bell by the Su-57 in that final dogfight is just so insanely cool you can't hate it

questions

#top gun #ask game #TY FOR THE ASK CAL!!! And the entire ask game lol

8, 18, 36, 40 for the top gun ask game!

8. Favorite plane used in the movie?

F-14 Tomcat and it’s not even close tbh. Unfortunately, I never grew emotionally attached to the F/A-18 or F-16 and the F-14 just had such a unique character in so many different ways. And I’ve been learning so much quirky facts about it that make it so endearing.

18. Scene that makes you emotional?

Iceman’s death. Need I say more? Yes? Well, I get emotional for a more complex reason because iceman was such a strong character and I love him so much that I just feel like I wish we got more. I wish we got to see him in action just a little bit more. Maybe a scene with him and Mav hanging out BEFORE we find out he’s sick again? Like what if he knew he was sick again but didn’t tell anyone and was still doing his duties as COMPACFLT maybe having to pull some strings and shit. And then later we get the actual scene where Mav goes and visits his house. It’d make the whole passing thing a lot more heavy if we reestablished their bond more than just some references and texts.

36. Who's the better pilot?

Tom “Iceman” Kazansky cause that’s the way he flies. Ice cold, no mistakes, can’t get any better than that. If you follow the textbooks and know the limitations of the plane you can fly beautifully AND bring the plane home without damage or getting in trouble. If you need to break rules to win, that might say something about your own abilities.

40. Favorite maneuver used in the movie?

Love that Kvochur Bell move from the Su-57. I’m a sucker for fifth-gen fighters 🫣

Maverick shooting between the two daggers was gorgeous ngl, loved that even though it was definitely reckless.

Also, whole rotating wheel thing from the bogeys in the 1986 mission was super satisfying. They are all spinning in a spiral type move that I can’t remember the name of it for the life of me but if you watch the scene you’ll see what I’m talking about.

notes & observations from watching Top Gun: Maverick a stupid number of times

The plaque that Maverick takes his aviators off of in the opening scene mentions the 412th Test Wing, an Air Force wing based out of Edwards Air Force Base in California (not to far from the Mojave desert). I was a bit confused since Mav is obviously still in the Navy, but after some googling I did find out Edwards AFB does host VX-9 Detachment Edwards, which is a part of the Navy's Operational Test and Evaluation Force (the rest of VX - 9 is stationed at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake at China Lake, California). So maybe Mav is a part of VX - 9 at the beginning of the movie.

I also finally noticed that during the Darkstar test flight sequence, there is a map tracking exactly where Maverick is as he's flying Darkstar. Assuming he took off from Edwards, this is the flight path the map shows and where Maverick crashes (some where over southwest Idaho). Just looking at where he crashed, I highly doubt it was just a helicopter ride back the next day so that's another example of the movie not understanding how time & distance work in the real world (I'm looking at you, scene that makes it look like Rooster & Mav get to the F-14 in just minutes instead of the at least 2hrs it more likely took).

Going by the quick glances we get of how they're all sitting together when Warlock is introducing Maverick, combined with the quick glances inside the cockpits during the dogfight training montage I can say with a good amount of confidence that Fritz is a single seater and that Harvard is Yale's WSO and Halo is Omaha's WSO.

A random thing about Cyclone - in the scene where he's chewing Mav out for breaking the hard deck, you can see a bag of golf clubs leaning against the wall behind Warlock.

Iceman has two multi-line phones sitting on his desk in his home office. Man is in charge of the entire Pacific fleet so there is no doubt he has to make a lot of phone calls. I also bet that one of those phones has direct access to the White House and/or the Pentagon.

Rooster & Bob are both wearing the 1st Navy Jack Shoulder Patch on their left shoulders instead of the American Flag. Not sure if they're allowed to wear this patch instead of the American Flag or if it was just a mistake by the movie's wardrobe department.

You can see Hondo wearing a version of it when he's sitting in the back of the classroom when Cyclone is telling them Maverick has been pulled from the mission. His looks like this and he has a green/black American flag on the other shoulder.

The honor guard at Ice's funeral is comprised entirely of Marines. I know the Marines are a part of the Navy, but I would have thought the honor guard for someone like Ice would have been all sailors instead.

I just really want to know how in the heck Penny already knew about Maverick getting pulled from the mission/grounded after Ice's funeral before he got to her. I know she's an admiral's daughter so what kind of connections does she still have that news like that got to her that fast???

For anyone wondering, the enemy 5th Gen fighters shown in the movie are Russian made Sukhoi Su-57s.

And while the movie obviously never names a specific country as 'the enemy', based on what the target is, the terrain, and the fact that 'the enemy' still has old F-14s, it's obviously Iran. They're also the only country in the world still flying F-14s.

While the movie makes it look like it took just a few minutes for Mav to find Rooster and for the two of them to steal the F-14, the time between Mav going down and Rooster turning his eSat on is (like I mentioned earlier) more like 2-3 hours, minimum. It probably took Mav a minimum of 20mins to get to Rooster and then it definitely took them at least an hour to get to the ridge over looking the bombed out air field and then another 30-45mins of sneaking down said ridge without getting caught.

That crazy maneuver the enemy fighter does is called Kvochur's Bell Maneuver. You can see a video of a plane doing it here. (the Cobra maneuver Mav does in the dogfight training montage is also a real thing and you can watch an F-18 do one here)

Going with the assumption the target is in Iran, the carrier they launch from is in the Persian Gulf. So it probably took a good 48hrs to get everyone out there and on the ship and then another 48hrs to get everyone home. There for it is also physically impossible for the carrier to make it back to San Diego the next day after the mission. Honestly, between how long it would take to get back and all of the debriefing, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a week post-mission before Maverick walked into the bar looking for Penny.

In 1989, the Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum ‘Blue 303’ was the newest fighter to come out of the Soviet Union. Excited to show the Paris Air Show crowd what the plane could do, Russian aerobatics pilot Anatoly Kvochur began his routine. During his low-speed, high angle attack maneuver, a bird was sucked into his turbofan essentially causing engine combustion. Because he was moving at such a slow rate (around 110 mph), he was not able to effectively stabilize the aircraft using just the remaining good engine.

Knowing the plane was going down, he quickly steered the Fulcrum away from the spectators. Kvochur managed to eject just 2.5 seconds before it crashed into earth. Good thing Russian ejection seats are some of the best in the aviation world.

9, 36 and 40 for the ask game??

9. Favourite screencap from either movie?

This one was hard but I gotta go with this one.

Look how happy my boys are 😭😭😭

36. Who’s the better pilot?

Iceman.

Am I biased?

Yes.

Am I still right?

Yes.

And it’s not even close. If you listen to any fighter pilot talking about Top Gun you’d hear them talking about how Maverick would have gotten kicked out ages ago.

Iceman’s the better pilot 😤😤

40. Favourite maneuver used in the movies?

Literally anything the airplanes do tbh I freaking love jets. That opening sequence of carrier ops, gorgeous and stunning as always. If I had to pick one, probably the Kvochur Bell from the Su-57 in Top Gun: Maverick.
