Fighter Pilot Breaks Down Flying Scenes from Movies | GQ

@@scottbarkley496 I actually didn't, I wanted to be a Navy fighter pilot LONG before the movie came out. It actually made it harder - everyone wanted to be a Navy fighter pilot after this movie so I had to study and try that much harder to achieve what I did.

[@TheBrokenLife]

This is the second F-18 pilot I've heard tell the story of the completely fictional call signs in movies. Apparently if God himself became the most skilled and lethal aviator in history, his call sign would be would be something like "Snerf" because he sneezed and barfed at the same time once or something like that. Pretty hilarious to get those inside details when the opportunity arises.

[@RaidsEpicly]

I think the air force sometimes has "cooler" callsigns. I know some of the naval aviators make fun of air force guys sometimes for choosing their own callsigns to make them cool

[@Mister_Nutt]

I’m not an Air Force Pilot but if I were, I’m pretty sure my last name would be my call sign. That or something stupid would give birth to a new sign.

[@riley8704]

@@andrewmaclean9810 Wanna know something crazy? I recently got an opportunity to speak with a family member who was up there in the air force. He told me the reason pilots loose vision when flying hard. Apparently the G force is so extreme that the blood vessels around the retinal nerve (the thing you see through) get so heavy that they "suffocate the nerve and temporarily blind you". Which is both the most badass and most terrifying thing I've ever heard.

[@andrewmaclean9810]

@@riley8704 yeah im hip, I actually had that happen on a really fat roller coaster once, completely lost vision in a sharp turn and that was probably barely pulling 2-3gs, I can’t imagine what 6-9 is like which is the typical upper limit for most pilots

[@artdeco64]

Fun Fact:: Ice Man was named after a Navy flight surgeon with the Marine Corps - flew backseat in a F4 Phantoms - named Deniz Tek. While he was attending the Top Gun school so was the production company for the movie Top Gun, checking everything out; they liked his call sign. Anyway, before joining the Navy Deniz Tek was the lead singer of an Australian punk band named Radio Birdman. Their best song, and it’s actually really good, is called - Aloha Steve & Danno. Take a listen, it’s on KZbin.

[@scottM278]

My uncle went through the Top Gun school during Vietnam. He became a Top Gun instructor sometime after that, in the early 70's. Commander Robert Griesser, call sign "Spider"

[@Kirbythefat]

Dang that’s among the cooler call signs. As oppose to Bozo and Wiz which aren’t very endearing I suppose

Was he very handsy with the female staff or was he arachnophobic? No disrespect.

what made him get the call sign spider?

[@michajastrzebski4383]

well, seeing as irl that missile (that looks like a russian 9K35 Strela-10 on a tracked TEL) would have like 2-3 seconds of engine burn time....he does have a point. IRL, that system has a 5 kilometer effective defeat range, at most. Some early versions were 3.5km range.

[@wyskass861]

I like that he was able to admit the reality of comparable technology and mutual espionage among competing air forces. As opposed to propaganda you often hear. With same generation fighters it'll come down to training.

[@ruffxm]

Agree to a point, but while there are similarities and relatively comparable technologies, it is definitely not 1:1. There a absolute advantages to some aircraft that others do not have, and it is always evolving even when someone catches up. Think of it like the race between new cellphones every year or how new car models have advanced features until eventually other catch up. Then the race starts again. The US often leads this because of its financial and physical resources and the larger pool of talent they have to design these things.

[@Edeinawc]

you already got the callsign Blaze but I'm gonna call you "kid". Best thing about AC5 though is when you replay the early missions and your wingmen are flying straight and level in an F5 (MiG 28) and you are allowed to have whatever plane you want. You absolutely KNOW what you gotta do there.

Hey Whiz, loved your initial commentary of Top Gun about the ready room teasing. I was enlisted as an F-18 mechanic and flight deck troubleshooter when this came out, and I can assure you the guys down in the shops were equally amused at the BS that runs rampant in the film. Good entertainment though, and it did inspire kids to join up. Also, regarding your call sign, I'm sure there's a funny story about it that you may not want to share. We had a junior pilot who just could not catch a wire. He wore down so many hook points they named him "Sparky". Who knows, maybe you flew with him. Thanks for your service shipmate!

[@fanzhang5568]

The P40 in this case was tomahawk, not hellcat. Hellcat didn’t go in service until 1943, and it’s also a carrier based aircraft, you won’t find them in an airbase. But yeah hellcats and wildcats were crucial in the pacific theatre. Especially wildcats, not the best aircrafts but it lasted through the toughest first 2 years against much superior and better trained Japanese counterparts.

[@ghost7524]

It's ironic I watched this video this week. On Tuesday, I was watching on the Reelz channel the "Behind The Scenes" show. The episode was about the making of Top Gun. It was very interesting. 2 of the actual Top Gun instructors who flew as the MIG pilots and as the pilots for in the F-14s were interviewed. One is a retired Rear Admiral and the other is a retired Captain or a retired Admiral as well. One of the main things they talked about was how worried they were about how the Navy would think about the things were wrong/not done in reality. I can understand that. As much as they wanted to be realistic about the Top Gun school, dogfighting and the culture of naval aviators, it was also a Hollywood movie. The inverted scene with the F-14 and the MiG. They explained how that was done. It wasn't one complete scene, but several scenes spliced together to have the appearance that the F-14 was on top of the MiG, but in actuality, the F-14 was a little to the side of the MiG. Whiz is definitely right about how Top Gun the movie was the perfect advertisement for the Navy at that time. I was 13 when the movie came out ( I saw it on VHS). I wanted to be a naval aviator. Those dreams went down in flames when I got to visit the National Air and Space Museum and I changed to wanting to be an Air Force pilot *lol*. I can see how the Maverick call sign would make sense, because the character is a maverick. For the character, yea, it's totally logical.

Jet fuel isn't that flammable for those drop tanks to explode like that. Great movie though. I was on the Theodore Roosevelt and we were sent a copy of the movie before it came out in theaters. David Keith brought it out to us while we were deployed heading to Afghanistan.

@@paavobergmann4920 well its something like diesel , it want burn if you trow a burning match into it. it has to be atomized/sprayed into a flame to burn. here is a brave enough fella to show it :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ-vYmN5bKuGmKc

@@tomast9034 thats a great video, that clears up a lot of confusion. Thx. Id have guessed jet fuel and diesel mainly differ in their additives needed to run jet engines vs diesel engines, but then there is the thing about water and gelling, so I can imagine why jet fuel needs to be much cleaner, much more carefully produced to higher standards, seeing that many old diesel engines will happily run on just about everything. I doubt a sophisticated jet engine would run on dirty diesel with 10% deepfry fat and 20% gasoline added, like some Unimog would do....
