I saw the first Top Gun while I was training as a Nuclear Reactor Operator in Idaho Falls at the S1W prototype reactor. Yep, the very first one for the 575. I went on to serve on the USS Carl Vinson for 7 years. I loved putting my hands on the F14, F18, S6, A-7, EA-7 and EA-6B's in the hanger bay. 3 WestPacs and a PacEx. It was my pleasure to help move that big a** ship through the water, and generate steam to launch all those great aircraft. 35 years later, I still consider my experience as a once in a lifetime opportunity to serve. The best men and women the US has to offer. I think this will be a great film that showcases what it means to carry on tradition. My Dad was recently inducted in the French Legion of Honor for his heroism in liberating Alsace back up to the Rhine River in WW2. He inspired me, and I hope these films inspire a new generation of Americans to put their country first and become a member of a very exclusive club. My best to all Americans and God Bless.

When they came out with the “aircraft maintenance” patch (about 1”x2”), that had to be above the name tape, left chest. And of course the USAF patch, with rank stripes on sleeves (old-school stripes, like the Army’s) I think that’s all.

I was in Army aviation in the mid-80s and we did smoke everywhere but the flight line. Hell, when I was in Korea, I would smoke during PT.

[@timothycampbell495]

Yup. Air Force late 80s/early 90s. There were zero restrictions on smoking. You wanted a smoke on the FL, just go to the red line. And drop the butt in the Ziploc bag in your pocket you got from the tool crib.

[@daszieher]

All the while the russkies were smoking on the flight deck, even during training. I saw a shot on a documentary showing the entire crew of five in the cockpit smoking 😂

[@stanley917]

Went to an airshow in the early 70's at Miramar, not too long after the F-14A's first hit the fleet. Never seeing one fly before, it was amazing to watch it quickly lift-off, clean-up, accelerate, then gracefully pull into an unhurried Immelman from take-off. Nothing in the USN inventory at that time could come close to that kind of performance. It was an amazing airplane.

[@renaldolama9517]

I love this guy. "That's a real bucket!"

[@MikeK2100]

You two cracked me up. With scouts and PAX NAS our best liaison officers were pilots and when my and my ass thanked him for getting us in the ATC tower, he thanked us. Not exactly understanding the tower talk he asked them what they were talking about, "Hey guys! They are bringing in a T-39 in! ... You will see this guy run out and feel the breaks. they are magnesium, and if he still has hands will let the pilot know to continue to the hanger. If not someone will wrap the brakes and get the fire fighters in." Under Carter all the pilots were pissed and spilt their guts to us, and under Reagan were much happier and let us know, while we had to tape a lot of new tech in the P-3s off, they can't tell us about it, but could let us know what changes were made. We asked them about what could make make a plane fly ten feet over our heads and we got schooled on ground hugging radar. Another time at PAX my friend got picked on by a SAR helicopter pilot and got to start his up and unfurl his rotors. The pilot liked me to and put me with the bases most honest people and I found myself on a crash tender for a run of my own. The honesty poured out as the driver said to the turret man, "Hey A hole, are you going to turn that pisser of yours again against the wind and flood me out again." We did the run and the turret man told me as he popped the hatch open, "He is right, if I screw up, you will be washed overboard!" "Not a problem sir! If that happens, I know how to fall and survive and I've been paying attention to the wind sock and that won't happen." Pilot or not, if you are in the hanger, maintenance will be there and we all sat our butts in a newly declassified F-18, doubt that was the case. Because there was an incident there with a maintenance person person involving the ejection seat, our first kid in asked and had his finger near and asked, "What does command ejection do?" "Don't Fing touch that!" Lesson for the day, don't piss maintenance off! I had the firefighters realize I felt something was wrong and they asked for my opinion since they were going to be lighting off 80 gallons of aviation fuel and I declared it unsafe. Wondered if there was a record to me as I was informed, "Nope, just made things safe enough to so you what human nature does. As the lit it off we started walking backwards, the started running. My last tour of that base had a pudknocker as our officer and I found myself with five tours of the mess hall and back with the crash tenders with them not knowing what to do with us. Run your equipment. "We can't do that because it is too expensive!" I screamed back, "I didn't tell you to spray foam!" The fire house got it and used their pisser with only water and saved the day. Maybe you can ruin a movie regarding fighter pilots, but even if only SAR, you can never ruin a pilots day, they are just that cool!

Play the Aviation Ordnanceman "Top Gun" drinking game. Every time Maverick does something that should get him grounded, take a drink. Every time Goose shows he's a good guy and family man, so you just KNOW he's gonna die, take a drink. Every time they do or say something that would have "Me Too" calling for their head, take a drink. Every time a plane fires a missile from the same wing station (more than once) during the same engagement shout "BLUE TUBES" and take a drink. When I was working in V-2 a couple years after Top Gun came out, we used to practice our "slow motion running" on the flight deck. The bald guy with the cigar (back in the '80s we could smoke on the boat) is the CAG. Until about the mid '80s the CAG was usually an O-5. Cool and totally useless fact: Cougar's back seater, Merlin, is Tim Robbins from Shawshank Redemption

Gentlemen, the hard deck isn't some nebulous no-go zone you run to if you think you're losing like it's some multi-million dollar game of tag. It represents the GROUND. That's why it's called the _HARD_ deck. I would have figured, that in coming to this school, you would have understood such concepts. So let me make this clear: If you want to finish this school, or even be considered competent pilots, you brush up on your procedure. That goes for Cmdr. Ironside here as well.

I actually saw your commentary on Top Gun: Maverick before I found this one. I liked that one a lot which is why I went and found this. You guys do a good job of not ruining the movie, for me at least.

No other plane will ever have the visual impact as the Tomcat...that was iconic before the movie, and legendary after

[@peckret3452]

Not gonna lie but I woke up to go to the bathroom. I came back and just glanced at my phone to see your video and I decided to watch it and sleeping after it. 100% Worth It Also can't wait for PT.2 pls make the movie audio for the dialogues a bit louder

What did Mover say? Facing maneuver? Pacing...?

“Come on Mav, do some of that pilot shit” is indeed the best movie line ever

[@dougsundseth6904]

It did say hello to the Tomcat ... in this movie. There has never been a prettier fighter aircraft than the F-5. 8-)

[@kvan42697]

I'm glad you picked up on the mountain in the background in the first scene too haha it's something I notice the last time I watched the movie

[@MicheleBoland]

One of the best movies ever, but I predict Top Gun Maverick is going to disappoint. My friends and I watched Top Gun maybe 20 times in the theater when it was released. We couldn't get enough of it!! Best sound track ever!!! The only real sad part of the film was one of my favorite air show performers lost his life filming it. Always remember Art Scholl when you watch it.

You know, I've never been more glad that someone is wrong on the Internet, and I hope you are too

The Bald Guy CDR Tom "Stinger" Jordan is the CAG(James Tolkan).

[@upgrayedd9732]

He also moonlights as the princpal at Hill Valley High School. In seriousness I always thought of him as the Skipper of the Enterprise.

[@mactac25]

Upgrayedd no, the CO of a CVN Is an O-6 (Captain) who is a Naval Aviator or Naval Flight Officer by federal law. Back in the 80s CAG was an O-5 billet. It was changed to an O-6 billet n the late 80s.

[@MikeKillian]

Man I’ve been binging your videos the last several days 😂 love these Top Gun reactions. I fly photo shoots, maybe a cool topic idea to discuss on a future podcast, how that content and movies etc inspires generations, educates about history & recruits the future.

[@malcolmadams2105]

I was born in Miramar.. Fl, That is..and That movie was my bible in 86’ I had my mom paint the tomcat on the back of my jean jacket.

[@c17pltn10]

Been waiting for this ‘Mover Ruins’ ... as a Viper DCC AND GA pilot this is the film that made me fall in love with aviation ... I also love that they raged so hard in the first TOPGUN scene a panel got ripped off ... CAT III switchology to save a crew chief’s weekend!

[@phineashenshaw]

This video review is AWESOME!!! I do not think you ruined the movie at all. Cannot wait for Top Gun Maverick to come out!!!!

[@Ensisferrae]

When I was growing up, I was regularly regaled with stories from my great uncle who was 24 years enlisted in the navy. Apparently, he was one of the shooters or deck crew on THAT boat during filming. He would always point out that the shot used in Top Gun was about 15 minutes or so after his shift was over (and thus, he was not in the film), but they were running takeoffs and recovery like the entire day, filming them for the movie hoping they'd get the "best" shot
