Top Gun is a fighter weapons school division where they teach air-t0-air combat tactics to NAVY fighter Pilots, attack pilots and supply pilots. They fly simulated MIGS and use adversary tactics against front-line pilots. The US Navy does NOT fly the F-22 Raptor NOR the F-15 Eagle!These are strictly Air Force aircraft. The F-16 is used as an adversary aircraft for the "opp forces"....
I have heard about this movie, but that was a LONG time ago. Supposedly, Cruise is now an Instructor taking on a brash, cocky young fighter jock (shades of Rocky 5)..IF done well, could be an interesting movie. BUT as any fighter jock will tell ya, the original was a joke as far as realism is concerned. for example, ANY "flybys" automatically result in a loss of wings and a dishonorable discharge in the real Navy....

True, but considering Hollywood, he can easily switch branches.

You mean any unauthorized “flybys”!

I worked on a flight deck for four years and have seen a few “flybys”. Mostly they are for video/photo-shoots. The “breaking the sound barrier flybys” required us to turn off most the electronics in the island structure first.

They could transfer "Maverick" to Nellis and have him as an "Agressor" pilot against everyone at "Red Flag".

ummm, I wouldn't be surprised since Tom has been in a bunch of financial dogs lately. Maybe an attempt to remind everyone why they used to like him?

Will a camaro be in the movie? lol maybe then will i bother to see it.
Its kind of like Grease 2... ive never seen it. The charachters were different in the second movie and I just didnt want to watch it in the case of it ruining the Original Grease. i hope Top Gun 2 doesnt do the same. Sequals, not all (e.g. Bad Boys I & II), tend to be dissapointing. Especailly with a 25 year gap...

Maybe he's cast as the seasoned instructor now; replacing Viper or Joker?

Who is going to be the villain? Not the Soviets, they're kaput. Chi-coms? Iranians?

I stand corrected! Tiger Cruises have lots of "authorized" flybys!

Aliens, A.I. Planes.

The government needs the best fighter pilots to combat this threat so they go to top gun to look for maverick, but he lost that loving feeling......so no go.

If that sound like a stretch, well so does a sequel to a 20 year old movie....except maybe tron.
