This was probably the best scene in the movie in my opinion. It really captured Mavericks spirit and skill together. The fighting scenes at the end really made the movie obviously, but this scene really fleshed out the character and drama.
For all the comments saying Maverick did this to show he is the best, yes he's always gonna show off his pilot skills, but the main reason he did it was to prevent any of these kids from dying on the mission. With a 4 minute timer, the enemy response time would've for sure gotten a couple of the pilots killed, but the other superiors didn't care as long as the mission was completed. He had to prove the mission was doable within the original time limit so he could lead them on pace and save them.
Funny how people say "He wanted to prove he was the best" implying they have watched the film, when in the film he states prior to this scene they have to do it in that time else the pilots would get shot down to which the commander shrugged off. It's obvious that he did this to basically go over the head of the commander, proving the commander wrong. Doing it in 02:15 instead of 02:30 is the part which he is showing off, but to prove to the pilots that not only can it be done, it can actually be done quicker, giving them more confidence.

I think it was more proving a point that it was possible. If he left it at 2:30 then it would look barely doable, this held him to a higher standard to begin with making his claim more credible
@@wally4eva The original footage shows a time remaining of 0:00.16 The timer started at 2:15.00 the 16 here is less than a second, specifically 16 hundreths of a second..

@@cadentorquato4775It is not true, airplanes do not have to brake before turning, they simply have an optimal speed to turn but this is not important because he is not braking, he simply pushes the lever and in the next scene the lever is magically down again just so that he can push it again

However, if this were a real-life mission, a pair of GBU-57's dropped from a B-2 would have been more cost effective and left less of a 'fingerprint' on the scene. Just my opinion, of course.
Tom always gives his all proper living legend and he does it for people who love movies his own stunt’s everything puts heart and soul in for us doesn’t get enough credit our awards I will be sad when he’s gone mainly cos he always flirts with death jus for us to sit in cinema and criticise while everyone else doing cgi even the big muscle bound so called tough men no one is stronger no one puts their all in like legendary Tom thank you❤

What makes part of this realistic is that there's always people in the service who are the best or really good in their field. However, there's those with rank that would rather be petty than encourage. Too bad their ego gets in the way of seeing the big picture, team concept, and we're on the same damn team.
It wasn't to prove he was the best, it was to prove that it could be done and challenge the ego of the fighters to hit that envelope of 15 seconds.

this scene is probably one of the greatest scenes in Movie history as it perfectly encapsulates everything that makes Maverick who he is. The drop out of the audio when it starts is genius as it feels like a vacuum to the audience; literally drawing them into the suspense.

Something about the terrain confusing the targeting systems on the more modern craft. I think. It's also how Mav survives against one of the enemy fifth gens. Missile lock didnt work so the enemy resorted to just guns while chasing Mav through the valley.
I don’t care that this is essentially the trench run from Star Wars: this film is one of the best ever made. Its tribute to aviation and our fine Navy men and women is incredible. The original, as iconic and beloved as it is, looks silly by comparison.
