Classic... I'm pretty sure the script has him as an F35 test pilot. Filming has already started at LM in Fort Worth. Thats Legit... LM in Fort Worth filming has began... Late Summer 2013 release... In March 2012, it was revealed by Tom Burbage, Lockheed Martin F-35 program manager, that the F-35 Lightning II will be used and to be flown by Maverick as a test pilot in the sequel.[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun Tom Cruise steps onto the tarmac – cool and confident in his flight suit and dark aviator glasses. While his co-stars still call him Maverick, this isn’t Top Gun and that’s not an F-14 fighter plane. This is Top Gun 2, and the fighter plane he’s getting into is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) – the most expensive weapon program ever, which is slated to be the mainstay of the U.S. Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps for decades to come. Hollywood is going back to "Top Gun" school with its upcoming sequel to the 1986 film, but hotshot pilot Maverick won't be flying any killer robot drones. Instead, Tom Cruise is set to return in the starring role as a test pilot for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter — a plane that could well be the last manned fighter aircraft made in the West. https://www.msnbc.msn...er-jet-top-gun/ Edited June 15, 2012 by Surf70

matmacwc Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Gentleman, she is a civilian so you do not salute her. Why do they turn into this when they go that direction? They could all be freakin twins.

As a result, gives students gouge such as "You trim for pitch, not airspeed" and "Nobody talks on uniform" to ensure students never get a one-up on him again.

No self respecting A-4 aggressor/TOPGUN guy (with a 'stache that would make Bug Roach proud) would be a primary sim instructor at an AFB. He'd be one of the crusty old guys at one of the RAGs or in Meridian or Krock.... And hinges don't chum their own charts. They just go into stan and grab one that someone else made and task some unlucky JO who was walking by at the wrong time.

shoe clerk Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I heard this sequel is a whole lot more realistic than the first Top Gun. Mav is now an overweight AF MQ-9 pilot bitching about providing ISR support until one day he gets a CAS mission and takes out 30 of our own soldiers to kill the #157 most wanted terrorist on the US watch list. He then keeps buzzing the tower in his triumphant return to base but nobody seems to take any notice due to platform limitations and most of the shoe clerks are out with the Army anyway after flight suit leadership kept insisting "we're all in." Mav finally lands and all the shoe clerks eventually return to base when flight suit leadership tells them to "Get out of those lightweight flame retardent ACUs, we gave you flammable heavyweight ABUs in 120 degree desert heat so everybody knows we have ADCON over you." The movie ends with the Air Force becoming the Army Air Corps once again. Edited June 19, 2012 by shoe clerk
spaceman Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 The movie ends with the Air Force becoming the Army Air Corps once again. I LOL'ed. Isn't this movie about the Navy?!
Spur38 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 What about Goose's wife? She turned "DADT", joined the Army, went to flight school and was awarded the MOH in the epic box office hit "Courage Under Fire" 2
shoe clerk Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I LOL'ed. Isn't this movie about the Navy?! The Navy has their own Identity issues so Mav mistakenly changed services at the beginning of the movie thinking things would get better. He then goes through MQ-9 flight training while elbow deep in a bag of Dorito's for most of the first half of the movie. That's how I always identify an MQ-9 pilot...the orange bottom right sleeve of the flight suit.. 1
