Thank you for your honest but not douchey commentating! Amazing. And thank you for your service. Most importantly, thanks for being a badass fighter pilot!
@@IGN I am calling it, he either got his call from being found on a dating website OR he flew low enough to the ground that he caught his plane or something on fire
12:30 I've seen comments by other fighter pilots who mentioned Rooster actually messed up in the starting sequence for the F14. The reason the ejectable seats didn't work was not they were faulty, but Rooster didn't arm them before they took off (IIRC apparently you need to remove a pin somewhere to arm the seats, and Rooster never did that, most likely because he didn't know about it).
More like obsolete. THE F15 is still our best fighter and came along with the F14 but its still our best air superiority fighter. 105 kills to no losses.
@@twolak1972 Doesn't matter. The F15 is a marvel of engineering and endures to this day and into the future, but the Tomcat is still cooler. It's like comparing a Tesla to a '67 Mustang. The Tesla is faster, more efficient, and technologically superior. But the Mustang is just plain cool, and it's not even a contest.
@@Numl0k Yeah see how COOL your F14 is when a russian hasxa missile lock on you cuz hes .ore maneuverable. F15 IS LIKE A GT40 and the Tomcat a 53 studebaker lining up to drag race. Who,s gonna win
The taking off in the tomcat part was included because in WW2 an American pilot stole an enemy plane, after crashing his and flew it back to a friendly air base. The reason for the accuracies in the movie is down to Tom. He played a large part in all aspects of this movie while it was being made.
thought it was more a play on the mig25 defection into Japan. where the CIA and their cohorts of engineers took the entire plane apart and took samples of everything. they played down its importance in its abilities but what they secretly wanted was the materials that were being used for mach3 travel. particularly the canopy. they drilled holes through it.
They also needed a justification in the script to have Maverick and Rooster flying an F-14 in a near death situation, to recall the death of Rooster's father, with Maverick saving his son on the same plane his father died in.
You probably wouldn't be surprised at the amount of people who disagree with you with absolute certainty in many other video comment sections. LOL. The internet is an entertaining place. And thank you for your service.
If anybody wants an extended look at what fighter pilots think of the movie, check out C.W. Leimone - he recently concluded his reaction series and it’s worth a watch.
@@christiannevarez6590 To be fair they'd already heaped on the praise when did their initial review. Mover can't Ruin the Movie without excessive nitpicking after all.
Still not a word from anyone about Maverick dropping a GBU on the target in his heroic training demonstration with the Master Arm off and the A/G light out.
@@Atmaspeaks Basically the entire weapon system is in Safe mode and can't deploy a Guided Bomb Unit or any weapon at all. The A/G light being out also means that he has no Air-to-Ground targeting capability, so even if the master Arm was on he's still not dropping that bomb.
I’m real life this movie is over after Maverick ejects doing Mach 10. Dude just walked into a restaurant like he didn’t just get shot out of an airplane at 7000 MPH.
He didn't necessarily eject at that speed. The plane could have decelerated. As others have said the air is thinner up there, the plane could have an ejection pod, not to mention his pressure suit.
Why are there so many people triggered by this video? Some people are just curious about the actual realism of the movie and understand the movie is just entertainment. Doesn't mean people would also like to know what it's like in real life
The whole point of the movies was that Maverick was trying to prove that humans were better than drones. But in this impossible mission a drone would have worked perfect with no loss of life
He flew specially F-18 and to be able to do a split throttle, you need space between the 2 engines (F-15, F-14, Flanker) in order to have a major differential thrust
Ward Carroll breaks that down and more using DCS on his channel. He was a NAVY F-14 Tomcat RIO and instructor. He was very informative in the scene where the Tomcat is seen using aileron flaps but we all know the Tomcat uses spoilers and not flaps.
My biggest objection was Maverick just walking up and flying the Dark Star on his own recognizance and flying half a mach past what he was told the plane could handle, resulting in the destruction of the aircraft and somehow, he survives.
@alexanderdgray Half a mach at altitude is about 300 mph. Didn't destroy The SR71s that reached 3.5 mach and the faster A12. Pilots and radar confirmed this. Mach is not a constant. Altitude has to be considered as well as engine temperature but we have no military aircraft that can reach SR71 speed or altitude. The F104 could reach 103,000 ft unassisted and over 120,000 with assist. Kelly Johnson planes and Lockheed.
Can't forget that during that spiral, they had already floor morted, both on the hard deck and nearly on the real floor, in which Maverick should have been yelling knock it off or something
The biggest problem with the combat scenes is near the end when the pilots are trying to avoid all those missiles. Every one of those missiles has a proximity fuse and would explode near the planes instead of missing. It makes for a great movie, but not very accurate.
@@seyumaiayami3536 The missiles are designed with said proximity fuse to damage the aircraft in the event of a near miss when they explode and shoot sharpened and jagged metal in all directions right next to the jet
2:55 only guy I've heard saying that the difference isn't huge between Top Gun students and instructors. Every other pilot I've heard says the difference it is indeed huge. Like, if being a Top Gun pilot is a big thing, imagine being a Top Gun instructor... So on my inexperience and other pilots online, I'll say the difference must be dramatic
He specifically points out the difference between instructors and graduates, people who have completed the program, would come down to time in the cockpit and not be as significant as the movie displays.
The problem CW pointed out is that these are supposed to be graduates ... but they act like they just started the program, reacting to training like they've never been there before
@@radiospines Yeah, there seems to be a misconception that these guys are completely new. That's not Top Gun though. These guys already are pilots. Top Gun is an additional training program for already established pilots, not new guys...
Nice video! The F-14 is a kino aircraft, but people don't realize how many hornet pilots in the 80s and 90s would eat Tomcats everyday for lunch in simulated dogfights.
The most unrealistic thing in Top Gun is his call sign Maverick. You don’t get cool call signs, they’re almost always something embarrassing about the pilot. If he requested the call sign Maverick he would’ve been hazed to the point where he would voluntarily leave the force
TY for this one Alex…I really appreciated your candid, honest, and fair expert opinion on this…TY for your insights here- well done…And TY fir your Service to our Country
Would seriously liked to have seen Maverick do a quick preflight on that foreign F-14. At least to make sure nothing's about to fall off a 40 year old aircraft he doesn't know that maintenance history of.
Man I’m bummed they didn’t cover the scene where maverick split the throttles to create asymmetrical thrust to out maneuver the 5th gen fighter. Really wanted to see what he woulda said about that one
Mav getting saved by plot armor is such a Tom Cruise thing. The Su-57s Autocannon would have shredded the F-14 to pieces, also terrain wouldn't have messed up the targeting, that makes zero sense.
To me, the thing that didn't make sense about the mission was where the highest danger from the G-forces would be. It would be the pull-up at the bottom of the crater, not the actual climb out. Right? The movie make it seem like the vertical climb out of the crater exerted the highest amount of G-force, rather than the turn at the bottom.
My only problem with the F-14 scene it is Gun sound! It doesn’t sound like that also the SU-57 “Felon” love that name it Gun to doesn’t sound like that
They could have taken a raptor to fight against the felon. There's no way that an f14 could beat a felon. SU-57 is much better equipped, much faster, more stealthy and has much better maneuverability than the f14.
Well what about the racing the Jets sitting on a Ninja 😂. Vrommm 4:58 leaving the time stamp have no idea what it means lol love you all 💝. Thanks for your services aviators awesome 😎
Great reaction video. The 5th gen Fighters we're only about 4 to 1 over the older ones. So there is a chance , tho slimmer , a Tomcat could prevail. Especially with less trained pilots as adversaries against Top Gunners. Maybe not F*cked but definitely in deep.
@@5co756 well the 57 is not really a true fifth gen to start with its a 4.5 and to be honest did you think those su-57's would get a lot of in cockpit dogfight training and even if they did they would be training vs planes that fly like the f-18 not the f-14
To all the pilots that served, or is now serving. Thank you for your service. For those that are reacting to the MOVIE. C'mon!! It's a MOVIE!!! For ENTERTAINMENT ONLY!!! Not to be confused to replace actual Training or Flight School. After all, just imagine the possibility an a recruitment tool. Just like the recruitment rise after Top Gun. The actual pilots that flew the front seat admitted that they joined and wanted to be a fighter pilot upon seeing Top Gun. So relax and just enjoy,,,,The Movie.
if your first objective is to destroy the target and deal with bandits later then using unconventional moves such as hitting the breaks and flying off normal op procedures is a good out of the box thinking training method bc you may be use to engaging targets at distance but dealing with the sam and bandits brings into perspective you may be closer to your target than ever before while trying to evade sams and fighters that may be older (like the f14) or newer (like the f22) youre also in close proximity to the runway so with that fact you will more than likely have aircraft within gun range would be a good way to handle the fact you may be the underdog in one way or another just be prepared for out of the box contact points id see it as more of a precautionary training incase of emergency
All they would of had to do for dropping the laser guided bombs is after release just pull up and do an Immelmann and go back to the deck. You probably can do it before hitting the crest of the mountain where the SAMS are. At peak of the turn throw some chaff and flares out just in case. Then you are low and fast cause you punch it on the way down and you just go out the way you came in which has already proven to be a relatively safe ingress route. Or better yet take 6-7 of the tomahawks and take out the top of the mountain sam sites in addition to the runway/airbase. But it would not of been as exciting.

that fancy briefing room was for the audience to understand the mission outline, they would be totally confused if it was just a dry erasable board.
The real deal is much lower tech and not as flashy. A few white boards and maybe a projector if you wanna get fancy.
And for theatrics as well. Would be pretty boring to have a dry erasable board for lots of scenes.
Key word being "erasable"
Don’t know if it’s accurate but the sound effect they used for the flares deploying is probably the coolest sound in the movie for me
It's accurate. Sounds like a machine gun. They're ballistically deployed.
Much better than the gun sounds...

To me, the thing that didn't make sense about the mission was where the highest danger from the G-forces would be. It would be the pull-up at the bottom of the crater, not the actual climb out. Right? The movie make it seem like the vertical climb out of the crater exerted the highest amount of G-force, rather than the turn at the bottom.

Different scenes in the movie. Not from the same moment in the movie
Nope, it's the same scene
Considering the fact that TOP GUN graduates flew for the movie, I'd say it's pretty accurate
That's a suspicious call sign. LOL
My only problem with the F-14 scene it is Gun sound! It doesn’t sound like that also the SU-57 “Felon” love that name it Gun to doesn’t sound like that
They could have taken a raptor to fight against the felon. There's no way that an f14 could beat a felon. SU-57 is much better equipped, much faster, more stealthy and has much better maneuverability than the f14.
The biggest travesty in this movie is that they did not play danger zone when he engaged the fifth gens in the f14

Then you are low and fast cause you punch it on the way down and you just go out the way you came in which has already proven to be a relatively safe ingress route. Or better yet take 6-7 of the tomahawks and take out the top of the mountain sam sites in addition to the runway/airbase. But it would not of been as exciting.
