    Fun fact; The female controller communicating from the E-2 Hawkeye with the strike group is an actual Navy E-2 Instructor. Capt. Brian "Ferg" Ferguson, the technical advisor for the film, grabbed her to assist in correcting the dialog for these scenes and Kosinski, the director, decided to just film her doing it.

      I was a Framer for F-18s, at the "Rag" we had a whole flight (5 bird go full of students) come back in El Centro with cat 2 overstresses. I was "FDC" so I was walking to each recovering aircraft, noting what was broken on each one... 1,2,3,4 rolled in with no issues but a cat 2 overstress... #5 rolls in, with the instructor of the sortie... He hops out "Great jet Gents, have a good Friday"... I hit him with the standard "shooter" question " is there any issue with your 'G' override paddle?" He says, "Why the hell would that be an issue?" "Well sir, every other aircraft requires a cat 2 overstress inspection, I was wondering why you had the single exception"... His eyes got big, and he took a deep breath, he said "Y'all will have a couple cases of beer here shortly, I'll have a word or two on debrief"... We finished work Saturday morning, and the party that proceeded was something for the record books.

      It sounds like they were doing maneuvers and the students used the 'G override paddle' to go past the limitation the planes are set too. The instructor did not use it, so his plane did not get any stress from high G maneuvers. The Tech asked him if there was a problem with his paddle because the instructor's plane didn't have those stresses, I assume that the Tech assumed that they were supposed to be doing high G maneuvers and the instructor just wasn't able too.
      The work is probably hard/annoying/time consuming, or any combination of the three, so the instructor gave them beer to stay on their good side, and said he would talk to the students for, presumably, being utter morons.

(And a later scene reveals that the jet in question will NEVER fly again because of the extensive structural damage Maverick caused) As some of the actual Air Force and Navy Aviation maintainers have mentioned in their comments, this jet just went from Fully Mission Capable, to Hangar Queen in a few seconds.

Or is it because Maverick chose to do it faster than the original 2:30 time as the reason he went that fast to caused him to reach 10g? I’m also not sure what the purpose was of Maverick shaving off 15 seconds from the original plan.

    The carrier group in TGM didn’t seem too concerned with their own survival, so the enemies naval arm doesn’t appear to strike fear, and the USN somehow caught the enemy off guard (Enemy motto: “It’s not suspicious at all that there’s a carrier battle group parked right over there, so we’re going to send our on-patrol aircraft somewhere else”)

      They didn't show the logical next scene, which is the Navy getting the hell out of dodge while defending against anti-ship missiles. Rather than celebrating on deck they should be shoving the Tomcat overboard to clear the deck since half the air wing would be on CAP anticipating a counterattack. But it's movie realism, so the heroes get their moment.
      As for Tomahawks, I mentioned it before but I think the attack requires sending a bomb straight down the shaft like a bowling ball in the gutter to get deep enough to take out the facility. I don't think a non-GPS guided Tomahawk could have that precise a flight profile. Of course if the bad guys had put a bend in the air shaft the plan wouldn't have worked at all. :D

    Those surface-to-air missiles are indeed SA-3's, NATO name: GOA
    Both the target acquisition radar and the fire control/guidance radar are missing from the movie. One battalion has 4 launchers, each launcher with 4 missiles.
    The missiles are guided by the fire control radar to the target (not heat seeking missiles). One battery can attack 1 target at the time, with 2 missiles, only if the target speed is not above 750m/s
    Two missiles can be launched, with a 5 sec interval.
    A missile has a 70 kg (154.3 lbs) warhead and 4500 pieces of shrapnel
    More than 20 countrie still operate the SA-3 system.
    Cuba, Poland, Russia and Ukraine developed modernisation programmes during the years

They should have used Pantsir(SA-22 NATO) or Tor(SA-15 NATO), and placed them at the bottom of the valley. How do you get those massive things on the ridge and keep them operating? No way. Also Pantsir does have cannons. Which is what should have been used as the range is too short. Also as the guys mentioned the range of those missiles is good enough to take out all of the planes over the sea.

    The frag on an Aim-9 is actually really cool how it works. Not sure if it's the same on other missiles, but basically there's a bunch of steel rods wrapped around the missile running parallel to the missile, with alternating ends welded to the adjacent rod (think of like chopsticks where they're connected on 1 end, then imagine a third chopstick connected to the opposite tip of one of the other 2, etc) all the way around the missile with the explosive running down the center. So when it detonates, all the rods expand out in a big "halo" around the missile, creating a huge circular guillotine to slice whatever it hit.
    I always just assumed it was a bunch of random frag, or the casing of the warhead was the frag material, etc. didn't realize it was that "engineered".

    Speaking as a non-military guy I've always considered the word "wingman" as equivalent to "partner" and to a lesser extent "teammate" and that at any point either guy can take lead and their wingman/partner/teammate will back them up. I'm pretty sure that is the definition used by the movie makers and also fairly certain that is how most of the movie audience sees it.

      The word has a specific meaning. But the pronunciation is what’s really wrong.

    My favorite part of this video is when they fly under the bridge, and in addition to picking the scene apart Gonky says he'd be able to pull it off.

    Gotta love the energy guys, this is arguably the heart of the movie and you do it justice - so many cool moments and you & Gonky do not disappoint

      What I don’t get is why fighter pilots are a Navy thing at all, instead of just being Air Force.

    Really enjoyed both you guys commentary. Really hilarious to get the perspective. After watching the movie the first time I let the cheesiness blow by without much thought or care. But when I took my two pre-teen daughters to be a part of a cinematic experience (that we rarely see anymore), I realized all the additional explanation and dialogue of what “G’s” feel like amongst other rhetoric was to help the the audience that don’t know anything about being a fighter pilot get a sense of something that is real. Loved the movie, and really enjoyed all the parts of your guys breakdown. Thank you!

    Even though a lot of this is not correct, it gives me appreciation for all military pilots. I refer to all as the best of the best. Thank you for your service. I enjoy learning from real pilots. Your knowledge of the jets, physics, weapons, etc is amazing!

    26:03 to my recolection (at least how it works in DCS for the legacy hornet and from reading the NATOPS) the thumb switch is what dispenses the countermeasures. The button on the side is the emergency jett, and the switch on the lower front panel below the AMPCD is what switches you into bypass mode. And that allows you to drop chaff or flare seperately in 2 a piece per press

    The sound of the flares deploying sounds like a better rate of fire than their gun sounds.

    1960s tech SA-3s sitting atop the mountains, Gonky's right about expecting some Zeuses down in the valley, maybe a couple SA-9s or 2S6M Tunguskas for helo defence
