great response! In addition, there have been a few instances where this has occurred in injuries, though not deaths (at the time of the film). Apparently due to the particularly large cross-section of the F-14 with it's variable geometry wings, it tended to create a low pressure zone above the plane during a flat spin and the canopy could 'hang' in it. In a bitter irony a very well known stunt pilot died shooting the stock footage for the flat-spin... by a flat spin.
@@RamblersInc They actually lost a crew member during filming, in just the same way as Goose. Art Scholl was a stunt pilot who plummeted to his death while filming a daring stunt for the original Top Gun. He plunged into the ocean after failing to recover from an inverted flat spin while filming scenes for the movie. So sad.
"You! You are still dangerous. But you can be my wingman any time." "Bullshit! You can be mine." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Adrian Pasdar. Five Dollars Fact: The real Top Gun School imposes a $5 fine to any staff member that quotes the film. Let's Go Fact: Riding on the back of this film's success, the U.S. Navy set up recruiting booths in the major cinemas to try and catch some of the adrenaline charged guys leaving the screenings. They had the highest applications rate for years as a result. Real Viper Fact: Charlie's (Kelly McGillis) "older man" date at the officer's club is Rear Admiral Pete "Viper" Pettigrew. He is a retired Navy pilot and Top Gun instructor, and shot down a MIG during the Vietnam War. He served as the technical consultant on the film.
Went to visit relatives in South Dakota for a combination Reunion and also Anniversary celebration for my grandparents, when I was a young teenager. Got to see this in the theater on opening weekend, and needless to say it had a massive impact culturally at the time. That entire soundtrack is straight fire.
Iceman was actually the cause of the accident when Goose died. No one talks about it though. Mav told him to pull off a certain direction and Ice pulled off the opposite which is why they flew through the Jetwash.
Great reaction guys! Maverick and Goose got caught in Icemans jet wash. That's what went wrong and put them in a flat spin. Also the early version of the F-14 had a design flaw with the ejection of of the canopy when in a flat spin. When we first met Maverick in this he was getting chewed out and it was mentioned he had been in trouble with another admiral because of messing around with his daughter ( Penny Benjamin). Just thought I would mention that...😎 So glad you enjoyed it! Hope and pray that you react to Top Gun Maverick! One thing you have to remember that most of us have lived with this movie for about 30yrs. It has actually become part of our culture. So the memory of this ( especially Goose) movie is very very nostalgic!
Great movie. This movie was got a lot of support from the US Navy and the Department of Defense. It is considered the best "recruitment" movie ever made as it was responsible for a huge number of people enlisting in the navy after its release. Everyone wanted to be a fighter pilot and some (a small percentage) were able to fulfill their dream. Never the less still a fun and classic movie.
Fun Airplane Fact: The ‘MiG 28s’ were actually American F5s. The unarmed 2 seater version is called the T-38. It’s a small nimble supersonic capable twin engine trainer. The US Airforce still uses them for training. NASA also uses them for astronaut training. Cockpit utilization is an important skill which is hard to get outside of a spacecraft or high performance jet.
You watch John Young in 1977 flying his T38 while Fred Haise glided the Enterprise to a touchdown. 4 years later, Young flew the Columbia into orbit on STS 1. Balls of fcukin steel
They're actually underreporting the cost for an F-14, they were about 38 million, and thats somewhere between 5-10% of the total cost of an F-14 during it's lifetime, most of the total costs are in maintenance. Those were the good old days of cheap aircraft, the F-22 Raptor air superiority fighter has a unit cost of around 150 million USD each.
You wondered about the size of the training area. Miramar at the time was about 23K acres (9300 hectares) of which over 14K (5600 ha) was open range for training. The US has incredibly vast areas of desert in the west, and a number of major training areas are located there. Twentynine Palms, for example, is in the Mojave desert and encompasses roughly 600K acres (242K ha).
Really good reaction! Definitely an iconic 80's movie. The flying scenes and soundtrack in this movie are great. Not totally sold on the romance part. You should definitely check out the recent sequel, Top Gun Maverick, it is an excellent movie (better than the original IMO).
Brilliant reaction, guys !!! BTW, you were BOTH right, Michael Ironside (Chester) was in Total Recall and James Tolkan (Capt. Stinger) played Mr. Strickland, the principal in Back To The Future. Good eyes !!!
I think I saw this when I was about 13 years old, with some friends? And I remember afterward we walked around quoting it all the time, "I feel the need. The need for speed!" and "Goose! Ya big stud! Take me home or lose me forever!" Lol. Like as a 13 year old I had any clue about any of it. 😆🤣 But it sure was fun.
Yes, the F-14 can fly back to the aircraft carrier on one engine, as long as there is no other serious damage to the hydraulics or plane. They would simply drop any additional weight such as drop tanks (if it hadn't been done prior to engaging in combat), dropping any additional missiles/bombs, and then heading back. There's more to it obviously, but you get the idea. As for an F-14 with one engine having a tendency to want to veer left or right, that can be helped by lowering the engine thrust and adjusting things like the ailerons, elevators, and rudders (surfaces that make the jet turn) depending upon need.
1. An old shipmate of mine was on the Enterprise when they filmed this. 2. Gooses death was not Maverick's fault. Iceman was bogarting his LOS approach and they got caught in the jet wash. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. 3. I spent 24 years in the US Navy. 6 on "bird farms" (Carriers). I have seen 1000+ launches and landings without a single crash. These men and the men and women working the flat tops are doing the most dangerous job in the world (for the good guys). Shout out😎 4. Kelly McGillis/Charlie was in a awesome movie with Harrison Ford "Witness" that's seriously worth a first time/share HINT HINT 5. Tom Skerritt/Viper not only played Dallas in "Alien" he also played Strawberry in "Up in Smoke" with Cheech and Chong. 6. Val Kilmer/Iceman has a long list of movies including but not limited to: "Willow", "The Doors" and "Tombstone" 7. Goose is the RIO (Radar Intercept Officer) radar, communications and navigation. 8. Onboard the ship the Squadron leader would not be smoking a cigar in that operation space. 9. Meg Ryan is my honey. A great overlooked movie with her is with Tom Hanks called "Joe vs the Volcano' She plays 3 parts. HINT HINT 10. Onboard the ship/aircraft all the perspiration is Hollywood(not the pilot). There is AC onboard. 11. The TOP GUN school is no longer located at Miramar near San Diego. It's now at NAS Fallon, NV. 12. In 1991 I was stationed on the USS INDEPENDENCE (CV-62) and they made a movie onboard called "Flight of the Intruder". It was seriously cool. Brad Johnson, Willem DeFoe and Danny Glover. I'm actually in it for a very brief period of time. HINT HINT. You will be the first. 13. Watching/sharing the new "Top Gun Maverick" is a must. The ariel work in that movie makes this one seem like they were practicing.
Michael Ironside played Jester. Yes, he was in Total Recall and also in Katate Kid IV with Hillary Swank. He also voices a popular game character, Sam Fisher, in the Splinter Cell franchise. He most def has that alpha male voice.
Each weekend from 1996-2001 featured VHS watchings of the Star Wars and Back to the Future trilogies, along with this film. Crazy how it goes from a 1980s macho bravado popcorn flick, talking about Mav’s dealings with the admiral’s daughter Penny Benjamin and current affairs with Charlie, with planes added on, then Goose’s death just hits so hard coz it’s so instant. Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli from Heroes) is also a pilot, and Tim Robbins (Andy Dufresne from Shawshank) is Merlin. Most the filming featured actual air and practical effects. I think only one actual missile was fired during filming. I cannot wait for your reaction to the sequel.
How much area do they have to train in? In short, a whole lot. At the time of this movie, the Fighter Weapons School itself was located in San Diego, CA, at Miramar Naval Air Station which is small as military bases go. However, in the Mojave desert northeast of Los Angeles lies the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake which is by far the Navy’s largest test range at over 1.1 million acres (larger than the state of Rhode Island). Top Gun later moved to its current home at Naval Air Station Fallon in Nevada. The Nevada Test and Training Range (used by Navy and Air Force) has over 5,000 square miles of exclusive military air space and another 7,000 square miles of “military operating area” co-managed with civilian aviation. That’s another 12,000 square miles or over 7.5 million acres to train over. And this isn’t even all of the military land in California and Nevada.
I used to work at a company that was a few miles from MIramar under the landing pattern. Unfortunately, that was after the Navy left and the Marines took over. I enjoyed watching the Hornets break in the pattern. The boss hated it during conference calls, but us employees loved it. Still go around there occasionally to watch the patterns. Ospreys, Super Hornets and F35's now.
I read that actual fighter pilots laughed at "I'll hit the brakes and he'll fly right by", because that won't work in the real world because of an easy counter move where the trailing plane will just pop vertical, roll over and dive back on him.
@billross7245.... Yeah, it's silly really. I mean for a movie it makes a neat idea, but that's it. That "cobra" maneuver, or "Hitting the brakes" as it's called in the movie is just dangerous because it kills your speed and puts you in a dangerous position. Speed in combat is vital for success. The only time a fighter jet should be slowing down is when two planes are flying "two circle" and trying to out-rate each other. Only then do you slow down to adjust your speed to the plane's ideal rate speed. That way you can gain the advantage.
“High speed passes on 5 control towers and one Admiral’s daughter.” Goose: “Penny Benjamin?”👀 My mind goes through a labyrinth in a dark city wondering who she is. 🤌🏾
@@ruthsaunders9507 the delivery from Goose and Mav’s shoulder shrug is what makes it stand out. “It’s classified. You see I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.”
Saw this when it came out, in a cinema with a newly installed THX sound system... I could feel the jets in my chest! I know this sounds like nothing, today, because most of you have grown up with it... But trust me, it was an absolutely incredible experience! It was the biggest film of the summer... well, until "Aliens" came along and blew our minds! ;-]
Loved your reaction, guys! I was 11 when this movie came out and have loved it ever since! I waited 36 years for the sequel... and it was worth every minute! Such an INCREDIBLE movie!!! Along with everyone else, I'm hoping and praying that you please, please, PLEASE watch and react to Top Gun: Maverick!!! I promise you, you won't be sorry! Just remember the name Penny Benjamin from this first movie... Would love to see more movies on your channel. May I suggest a movie called Backdraft (1991). It's directed by Ron Howard, and stars Kurt Russell, Billy Baldwin, and Robert DeNiro. It's about two Chicago Firefighter brothers who don't get along but have to work together to catch a dangerous arsonist on the loose! The director wanted this film to be as realistic as possible and insisted the fire scenes be real. He even searched for actors who were also firefighters in real life. My husband is a Firefighter/EMT and I'm also an EMT. This is our favorite firefighter movie!. lt's tough to capture what it takes to work in the Fire-Rescue Service. The training, knowledge, physical and mental strength, and the love and passion they have for it all! Being firefighters is not what they are, it's who they are! Thanks again for the great reaction! I look forward to what you guys have coming next!
Don't know if anyone explained the "hard deck" yet. It is the "simulated ground level" ... meaning if you go below the hard deck, you are going below the "ground". So Maverick did a simulated crash into the ground after his enemy (Jester) also did a simulated crash... not an intelligent move, even if he locked Jester before he hit the hard deck.
@@RamblersIncThere's an interesting video with a JAG (Navy) lawyer going through how many times Maverick would have been fired/court-martialed. Hint: It's not 0.
Good review............I'm sure enough people have told you how the canopy works on the F-14. You really need to watch the next one Maverick. Well Penny has been spoiled for you . It might be OK because 85% miss who Penny was.
Great reaction! Today, depending on the model types of whats currently out there, they may cost 70+ million a piece. The cost of F-35s, are above $100,💰💰💰,💰💰💰
Yeah, But in the movie they are already airborne, So there's no way to be 100% sure of how many of those 100 miles have already been covered when the 30 seconds check is given 🤔
love this and also please keep in mind some of us(totally not me) saw this Top Gun in theaters....so Maverick had massive nostalgia vibes....in the best way imaginable.. @@RamblersInc
Just started watching this . And my god this is all about the 80s. Homoerotic volleyball and dogfighting. They threw in a mannish Kelly McGillis to prove Tom Cruise wasn’t gay They almost succeeded. Seriously, the Grumman F-14A Tomcat is the sexiest thing on that screen. I squealed like a princess when it appeared in Top Gun Maverick (yeah spoiler 😒) “Talk to me Goose” 💪😎 Loving the reaction- “a $30mill plane?” That’s 1986 dollars mate And now that’s over, you’ve graduated Top Gun aviators. Now treat us all with a reaction to Top Gun Maverick. It’s when middle aged bastards like me cry man tears 💪 (Yes Michael Ironside = Jester = Richter in Total Recall and loads of their actors)

Hint , it was worth the wait. 😊
I am going to watch Top Gun Maverick with Popcorn on Patreon with you....Can we get a heads up maybe a couple days before hand...
😂 We'll try. And don't worry, it'll be sooner than you think 😎.
love this and also please keep in mind some of us(totally not me) saw this Top Gun in theaters....so Maverick had massive nostalgia vibes....in the best way imaginable..

If I start this video and hear you say you never saw this one before ... I am going to have employ an expletive.
explete away 😂
Why would you cut and talk over the flight scenes which is THE MOVIE?
Sorry about that.
Just started watching this . And my god this is all about the 80s. Homoerotic volleyball and dogfighting. They threw in a mannish Kelly McGillis to prove Tom Cruise wasn’t gay
They almost succeeded.
Seriously, the Grumman F-14A Tomcat is the sexiest thing on that screen.
I squealed like a princess when it appeared in Top Gun Maverick (yeah spoiler 😒)
“Talk to me Goose” 💪😎
Loving the reaction- “a $30mill plane?” That’s 1986 dollars mate
And now that’s over, you’ve graduated Top Gun aviators. Now treat us all with a reaction to Top Gun Maverick. It’s when middle aged bastards like me cry man tears 💪
(Yes Michael Ironside = Jester = Richter in Total Recall and loads of their actors)
So many quotes from this 😂.
Maverick reaction is definitely coming soon.
Ricchhttteeerrrr. Thaaank Yoou. Thats the one.
Reaction videos are a lazy mans way of making content.
Sorry about that
