I served in the U.S. Navy for 11 years, I spent most of that time working on the F-14 Tomcat, the Goose death scene pays tribute to an actual event early in the F-14 program, what you saw actually happened when a test crew got into a flat spin, and during the ejection, because the absence of air flow moving from forward to aft, the canopy hovered over the plane, when the ejection seats left the plane at 400 feet per second and impacted the canopy killing them both, after that loss, Grumman, (the company that built the F-14's) designed a new canopy which redone the explosives that shears the locks and added rocket motors in the canopy rails to throw the canopy away from the plane after one of the ejection handles are pulled, the "FLAT SPIN" is something that exists in all of aviation, but with the F-14, it is something that very serious, because the ease where the air frame can enter a flat spin, and the speed where the horizontal rotations can accelerate is very bad, it is a condition that is aggravated significantly due to the engines being separated from each other by more than 10 feet, unequal thrust is primarily what causes such a condition in the F-14.

[@burns1210]

Also, during filming of that scene, the stunt pilot that was hired to put his plane into a flat spin for video of what it would look like from the point of view of the crew, actually crashed and died. He couldn't recover from the inverted flat spin. The footage wasn't used.

[@moose656]

Air Force mechanic here (mostly F-16s and F-18s) , the men and women who taught me maintenance had a lot of horror stories about the F-14 and why they didn't trust it. I personally never worked on one (they were retired when I joined), but from what they told me jet wash and flat spins were very common on those planes

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

LOVE this movie since day one. Now, you HAVE to go to a theater to watch the sequel. I never thought it could match the first one. But it DID!! AWESOME movie ❤️

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

@@sherricopeland6393 that's awesome! But I must say that I REALLY believe it needs to be watched in the theater. It was so intense watching it there as opposed to your tv. You know what I mean? 🙌

Co-signing K and Sherri. Date night at the theater. It’s worth it!

Asia you gotta see the Top Gun sequel " Maverick " in the theaters NOW! Before it soon leaves the theaters!

[@victortabobandung1453]

When BJ said it made him feel like flying a jet. I read that the admissions to the Navy increased somewhere around 400% after this movie came out!!!🔥🔥🔥 1 of my all time top favourite movies!!! (Maverick is VERY close)Great reaction!!!

[@JamesASharp]

Great reaction! 👍🏿 Top Gun is the film that made Tom Cruise in Hollywood. But, the sequel (Top Gun: Maverick) made Tom Cruise a legend in my opinion. I saw it in IMAX. 🤯 🤯 I hope you react to it.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

The way you guys set up this movie was PERFECT! The movie was nice and big. The volume was perfect on everything. Just perfect. I felt like I was watching one of my favorite movies with my 2 friends. 😊

[@johnnyboy7144]

Agreed, this is the best reaction to this movie I’ve seen on KZbin

[@steverowe3]

I highly recommend the sequel at the cinema you'd both love it

[@musefan12345]

Awesome reaction folks. There’s something extremely exhilarating about watching fighter jets in action. The F-14 Tomcat is such an iconic aircraft in military history too.

[@davidhowell7279]

Tomcat drivers will tell you how iconic f4 phantoms were. Many became pilots because of them. But yeah, super iconic. My brother was a Tomcat RIO.(goose). Fighting Aardvarks.

[@davidhowell7279]

A little biased. Dad was an f 4 phantom RIO.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

The new Maverick movie is INCREDIBLE. Please go to the theatre to see it on the big screen while you still can. I won't spoil anything - but it is SO worth the watch. An amazing sequel. Cheers from Canada :). Can't wait for your next reaction. Cocktail with Tom is a great one as well. And the soundtrack is fantastic. It's a guilty pleasure movie.

[@shainewhite2781]

This is my dad's favorite movie and the first Tom Cruise movie I saw on VHS when I was 4-5 years old. The film was a box office success, making $360 million dollars ($798 million dollars today) against a $15 million dollar budget. It took home the Oscar for Best Original Song

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Jet fighter junkie here. 🙋🏻‍♀️I can’t really tell you how much I’ve loved this movie throughout the years. I highly recommend Top Gun Maverick. As a sequel 35 years later, it can not be beat. Ice was top of the class, he won the trophy for top of the class. Maverick was always a close second because of the fact that he couldn’t follow rules. Thankfully, at the end he learned what he need to learn.

[@Frostrazor]

You cannot begin to understand just how huge this movie was. This movie was IMO the greatest movie to come out of the 80s pop-culture. AND vaulted Tom's movie stardom. When I saw this in the theatres, there were recruiters at the exit doors handing out brochures for joining the military. This movie no doubt inspired so many young Americans with patriotism. Glad you two finally got around to watching this one!!! A legendary classic!!! I'll take good wholesome make you proud to be American over the woke bs movies made today any day of the week. Also - the sequel also is absolute fire and avoided all the woke pitfalls that many movies disappoint with these days.

[@kendallshimabukuro6250]

Top Gun Maverick has so many throwbacks to this one, and is solid all together. From the flying to the storyline and writing to the soundtrack. All really well done. Might be among the best movies of the year. Best sequel for me in the past 20 years... period.

[@Seanriver316]

The Defense Department launched an investigation into this film after seeing the dogfight scenes. I thought this was just an "Urban Legend", but its actually true. The Navy had given permission for them to film 2 aerial battle scenes, and they thought the producers had somehow filmed multiple dogfights. But, what they did was film the 2 flying scenes from multiple angles and then edited the footage together to make it look like different battles and maneuvers. Their investigation found no wrongdoing. The elevator scene was filmed about a month after shooting had wrapped up on Top Gun. Charlie (Kelly Mcgillis) is wearing a baseball cap because her hair was longer and a different color as she had already started working on another movie. Same with Maverick, his hair is longer than at any other time in the movie in that scene, and he had also started working on a different project. They made it less noticeable by wetting it.

[@sparky6086]

It worked out well. I've never seen a woman look better in a baseball cap. Kelly really rocked it!

[@foofghtr]

Most of the mountain scenes were shot at Fallon Nevada. My first sea going Commanding Officer was the real Top Gun CO when this was in the movies.

[@burns1210]

Same with the silhouette scene, that was filmed later. Their hair was different but you couldn't see it. Test audiences said there wasn't enough romantic scenes.

[@d26075foxy]

Top Gun has been my favorite movie since I saw it in the theater when I was 10 and I never thought in a million years, that any movie could replace it. From the first note of the Top Gun Anthem at the opening of Top Gun Maverick, I was crying because I have waited 36 years for it and it absolutely blew me away & became my new favorite movie. It's by far the best movie made in years as far as story, acting, actual stunts & videography. TG Maverick will literally take your breathe away with the aerial shots but you have to see it in either IMAX or DBOX...

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Another great cult classic!! Love this movie! Fun fact: Not too long after this came out, one of my younger brothers payed a pretty penny for the EXACT distressed brown jacket that Maverick wears- with every single patch on it identical- IDENTICAL! Such a sharp jacket! And another great movie with Richard Gere and Lou Gosset Jr. is called “Officer and a Gentleman.” Got a bit of everything for everyone- 💕💙

[@arkikali5632]

It's not really a cult classic though. It made over $350 million in the box office, and that's 1980s money. Totally agree about The Officer and a Gentleman--awesome flick. 🙂

[@williamjones6031]

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. 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 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 little-known 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. The officer(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(RIP), 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. The best part is that it has a plot.👌

[@Ivy94F]

So many good ones: 4. Academy Award winning film (can’t remember which ones it won, though. 5. No. Freaking. Way. 😂😂 I haven’t seen that movie since I was too young to get it. I MUST revisit now! Lol. 6. You mentioned WILLOW!! One of my favs! 9. I loved Joe vs Volcano!!! 13. It was AMAZING!!! Must see!!

I'm so glad you watch Top Gun and Back to the Future close to each other. Did you notice the bald actor that said "you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of China" is the same actor as the bald Principal of Marty and George McFly's high school who calls them both a slacker? He's in both movies😄

[@victorramsey5575]

I was a Navy brat growing up, and lived on various Navy and Marine bases. The Navy and Marines are related. We lived in Hawaii when I was a teenager and I went to school off base. I had many friends who wanted to come over and see the jets flying around. Some enjoyed it, while others were terrified. I guess they didnt realize how loud and low the planes would be. Military kids have a different childhood. Not better or worse, just different. In the movie Full Metal Jacket, Sgt Hartman tells the recruits that every Marine is your brother. That also applies to military kids. There is a bond that you cant put into words. Plus, I was a world traveler by the time I graduated high school. I wouldn't change my childhood for anything. But some military kids had a hard time coping: friends, school, not knowing where pops is half the time. The children are not kept informed of things. They dont say "your dad is about to jump out a perfectly good airplane over hostile territory to rescue strangers". All you know is he's due back in a few months.

[@albertanthony6573]

Great reaction! The original Karate Kid is also a good 80's classic

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

Amazing masterpiece very classic Top Gun directed by Tony Scott starring Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, Val Kilmer and Tom Skerritt. This film has memorable moments including the songs Danger Zone single by Kenny Loggins, Mighty Wings single by Cheap Trick, Top Gun Anthem single by Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens and of course Take My Breath Away single by Berlin. The line "I feel the need - the need for speed" was ranked in the list of the American Film Institute (AFI) 100 Years....100 Movie Quotes. Thanks Asia and BJ great reaction and don't forget reacts the sequel Top Gun: Maverick😎👍👍👍👍👍

I had this movie on VHS back in the 80s and as a kid I've watched it over and over....the F-14 Tomcat is one of the sexiest looking US aircraft.

So much fun watching with you guys! Apparently Navy recruiting went up like crazy after the movie came out. But all those guys just ended up mopping the insides of aircraft carriers. You guys are awesome! Hope you check out some Die Hard (1988)!

[@MooreCEJr]

Fun Fact: Merlin assigned to Maverick toward the end of the movie was Cougar's RIO (partner) in the beginning. Merlin is played by no other than Tim Robbins married to Susan Sarandon. He also played Andy Dufresne in the film The Shawshank Redemption and won a Academy Awarder Fun Fact 2 (for BJ): "Maverick's supersonic. I will be there is 30 seconds." Supersonic means the speed of an object (this case his jet) faster that the speed of sound or about 768 miles per hour.

(#eyeroll), and BOTH of you, when Goose dies. EVERYBODY gets so pissed (LIke I did) when that happens. Great reactions folks!

[@gerardroll6468]

Asia, BJ… In 1986, when this movie was released, I was just 17 (turned 18 a week after this movie started in theatres here) & my girlfriend at the time was also 17. Thanks to the mountain of food we ate before seeing it, we left the theatre feeling uneasy (“airsick”) thanks to the high speed aerial footage but this movie was filled with so many classic moments & memories 👍😁🌅🌅🌅. For me, Top Gun was THE movie of the 80’s. The “inverted dive & Polaroid” moment ALWAYS cracks me up… Every, single time ☝️😂

"You! You are still dangerous. But you can be my wingman any time." "Bullshit! You can be mine." Happy Belated Independence Day! 🇺🇸 🎆 Fun 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 "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.

[@colonelb]

This is such a great movie - it's such a perfect blend of action, friendship, romance, and suspense. FYI the planes they were flying were called F-14 Tomcats and they go 1,500 miles an hour which is crazy fast. I dunno how pilots do those turns and stuff at that speed without vomiting all over the place constantly, lol. I feel the need for speed! Cheers

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Thanks Colonel B ❤️❤️

[@martinklaus2203]

They don't make turns at 1,500 knots. If they are in a rate turn dog fight, they are doing around 300-400 knots.

[@jacobjones5269]

The F-14 was just the total package.. So good in closed quarter and can go vertical and get away from just about anything when there was trouble..

[@CDRhammond]

You get used to it over time

[@MikeTXBC]

At the time of this movie, the F-14s still had problems with under-powered engines. If I recall correctly, they just mounted two of the engines that would've normally gone on an F-4 (which is smaller and lighter than the F-14). The F-14 was later refitted with better, more powerful engines.

[@michaelbrady4208]

The scene where Goose dies was based on a real event with an F14. The Navy learned after the real event that in a flat spin situation when the canopy is Jettison, it can get caught in a zero pressure directly above the falling aircraft and hang there for too long which can lead to the rear seater impacting it when he ejects. The new system was developed that would jettison the canopy and then wait a half a second before the rear seater ejects in order to ensure that the canopy was clear before he departs the aircraft

[@TampaCEO]

17:04 - The "elevator scene" was actually shot long after the movie was wrapped and the actors had gone home. They asked the actors to come back and shoot this scene however Kelly McGillis had already died her hair brown for her next movie role. Although they put a hat on her head, you can definitely see that she's a brunette in this scene. Anyway thanks for another great movie reaction.

[@geoffsullivan7902]

When Goose died, I cried in the theatre….yes I did,but- quickly remembered - that’s real, people go do these things in real life to protect us. Stopped my cryin and started cheering just like you did…..can’t wait to see the sequel! ❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@dilboteebaggins6147]

If I heard correctly at around 13:30, BJ mentioned something about Maverick's ego is acting out because of his father's legacy. I hope that is correct because that was deep. Cheers everyone. Thank you BJ.

[@StevesFunhouse]

An F-14 Tomcat, which is what the Americans were flying in this movie, could top 1,550 mph, or nearly 26 (25.8333) miles/minute (or almost 1/2 mile/second), so in 30 seconds from when he said it, he could travel roughly 13 miles. That would mean, to answer your question, a little over 4 minutes to go 100 miles. Now, Maverick downed 3 planes in the end battle, but if he downed just 2 more, he would be an Ace.

[@briansorensen5969]

The guy that Kelly McGillis was meeting in the club (Perry) was actually Rear Admiral "Pete" Pettigrew. As a former Top Gun instructor and successful combat pilot, he was the technical consultant for the movie. His callsign was "Viper".

[@ITPalGame]

The crash is based on a real life event. The original F-14s had an issue with flame outs on airflow disruption and since the canopy ejection relied upon airflow to pull it away, being in a spin negated this and so the an officer hit it on ejection. Later models had these flaws fixed. This movie was a boon to navy recruitment.

[@rodneygast1118]

Great reaction! Saw this in the theater in 1986, people cheered and screamed it was awesome. You'll both love the new one and more so because you saw this one first. It's not needed but it makes it more nostalgic.

[@MikeTXBC]

Just so you know, that "hit the brakes and let them fly by" maneuver is pure fiction. A move like that would just make you an easier target since you lose speed when you pull up. Also, the sound the 20mm cannon makes when firing is completely wrong. The real life sound is more of a weird buzzing sound that movie audiences would either think is fake (irony at it's best!) or funny, so I can understand why they changed the sound effect for the movie. Despite the nitpicking, Top Gun is one of my favorite movies. :)

[@wakejake433]

I served 12 years in the military as a Marine and as an army soldier both enlistments on the frontline as an infantryman in the 1st Gulf War being Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. I’m ghetto born and ghetto raised and had more bullets fired at me cutting corners in the hood than I did in combat therefore I was well adapted. Many are good in training but fare not so well when the shit hits the fan!! Training or the book only serves as a guideline or reference point but in the field or actual combat is where you do the damned thing because play time is over!!!

The star of this movie is our aircraft the F-14 Tomcat. I was in the Navy a long time, I’ve been through Top Gun. I got in the same year this movie came out 1986, I hadn’t seen it before I joined. Top Gun is a nickname for United States Navy Fighter Weapons School.

And I think a wore out the VCR that year, I watched and showed this movie to ANYONE that had the slightest interest in it and had the time. GREAT reactions, Asia and BJ. Thanks for sharing.

[@jasondessin8962]

I was 10 when this came out seen it like 5 times in the theater. Number 1 movie in 86 it literally stayed in the theater for a year. Great video y'all

[@shanialover]

I was waiting to see Goose's wife and son and to see if you recognized the actress playing his wife (Meg Ryan) but you skipped right past the scenes that showed them visit. And then you even talked like you didn't remember seeing them. 👱‍♀️👗👠👠💓

[@tygrys96]

Was wondering about that myself..maybe they were watching some edited version?

[@MikeTXBC]

@@tygrys96 They can't show everyone the entire movie (despite watching it themselves) for copyright reasons on KZbin.

[@Ih8ppl]

This movie is awesome and TG Maverick is awesome as well. Tom Cruise learned to fly jets for top gun two. I cry every time Goose dies.

[@jeanine6328]

The volleyball scene was most every teenage girls favorite scene… and some guys. It was perfection at the time. And Viper, that is one good looking man. Seems no matter how old, he’s lovely.

[@taramahoney2412]

This movie was so big when it came out. I have watched this movie many times.

[@AzulApe]

We need the sequel from you two. Please and thank you.

[@justmemadison]

I know you have to cut it down, but there was one part of the movie when Goose and his wife and Maverick and Charlie were in the bar singing...Goose playing the piano and one of them says "Take me to bed" and the other answers "Show me the way home". It was a cute scene.

[@naticastrong3490]

This is my dad's favorite movie since I can remember! He played so much as A kid that all his kids know EVERY line! I can't wait for you two to react to "Top Gun: Maverick"! My favorite line from this movie is 'Maverick supersonic, I'll be there in 30 seconds' and 'Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full'. Love this movie!!!

[@markboorman9583]

I’d be confident in saying there was a rise in applications to join the Navy in the late 80’s. I was in high school in Australia when this came out and personally knew a couple of people who set their minds on becoming a “Naval Aviator“ after this came out. It had a huge cultural impact. Teenage boys all over the place wanted to be Maverick

[@MGower4465]

Navy recruiters set up in theater lobbies to sign up the next Top Gun. I was just a year too young to be pulled in, and a lot of those enlistment contracts were probably walked back. Jrs not impossible to enlist abd become a naval aviator but you have to work fast and work your butt off to make it happen.

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

I’ve always loved this movie so I’m elated you watched it! In Top Gun Maverick it’s like the flight scenes are on steroids, omg it’s so good on the big screen!! Go see it- I promise you’ll be happy you did!!

[@johnweir2056]

Fighter town has been in Fallon Nevada for a while now my Dad worked there and is retired Navy and that's where Top Gun is and I got pics of Tom cruise when he flown from NAS Lemoore, California where I was born 36 years too NAS Fallon Nevada

[@marieneu264]

I just saw Andy from The Shawshank Redemption when everybody was cheering for Ice and Mav!!! I swear I did! Anybody else notice that???

[@ryanstarkey3011]

Great job on my all-time favorite movie. Came out when I was 12 and in San Diego last year, found multiple filming locations to visit, including "Viper's house". In that scene, if you remember, Viper said telling Maverick the details about his dad could cost him his job. That's because the fighting that ended in Maverick's dad's death occurred across the border of Viet Nam. By the rules of war, we were not allowed to conduct military maneuvers in Viet Nam outside of the country. On the contrary, the Viet Cong were doing that to our disadvantage. So, the reason that Viper, nor anyone else, was allowed to report on the older Mitchell's death was because it occurred while fighting was happening where we technically weren't supposed to be. Classify it so no one can find out. I hope that helps understand those details more. I love your channel!

[@erictaylor5462]

The "MiG's" in this film are actually played by either T-38s. The T-38 was a trainer that first flew in 1959. It is amazing that even today it still looks futuristic. The F-5 was developed from the T-38 as a low cost light fighter made for export by the United States to other countries to supplement their Air Forces.

[@adnap]

Congratulations. You guys have somehow managed, if inadvertently, to completely remove any and all traces of Meg Ryan’s presence from this entire film reaction experience. 😂

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

She’s on the full reaction in Patreon, unfortunately copyrights won’t allow everything to be included! Thanks

[@adnap]

@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ I just thought it was kind of funny, as I’d never seen that happen before in a Top Gun reaction. Now it looks like Goose has this “alleged” family. 🤣

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

Merlin, which was Cougar's RIO at the beginning and Maverick's RIO at the end (the guy in the cockpit behind them, like Goose) was Tim Robbins from Shawshank Redemption, which you just watched.

[@williamscoggin1509]

You missed the twist, the name of the movie refers to the top gun School. Even though he did not win the top gun trophy. The movie wasn't named for the best pilot. It was named after the top gun fighter school at Miramar where all the best pilots train.

[@rbrtck]

I think that instead of "tough love" what Maverick really needed was some time and sage advice, which he got from Viper. But Viper also gave him the closure he needed on his father, even violating the law to do it. There's the real love story of this movie. Viper even offered to fly with Maverick if there wasn't a RIO available (but of course there was Merlin, who had previously flown with Cougar).

[@wendell6468]

Navy enlistment went up 500% when this came out. they got me, too. however i went into the Air Force. 👋🔥💥

[@RowdyRuth]

Great reaction and commentary! Top Gun is the best Navy recruiting film every made, imo! Go Navy!

[@micksailor4715]

PLEASE watch Top Gun: Maverick in the theater. You're missing out if you don't see it on the big screen. Love your reactions, thanks so much!

[@kelligrayme]

No Thank you guys for hanging and watching movies with us! Especially the greats! Top Gun has always been my mom's favorite movie because of the beach volleyball scene lol so i've seen it a lot in my life. *suggesting Lord of the Rings always*. Love you guys!

[@pattyvanberkom4345]

Love this movie! It definately got your heart rate up more than once also cried so much in it as well.

[@rbrtck]

If Iceman were 160 miles out, then it would have taken Maverick about 8 minutes to reach them at Mach 1.8 (he said he was supersonic), which would be on the high side (I mean the speed). With multiple bogeys approaching, they should have launched the alert fighter (Maverick) sooner, and gotten more fighters on the catapults, which were "conveniently" all broken, of course (really, all three?!).

[@gustamantis1995]

I'm so glad you guys started doing movies. I love watching movies with ya'll.

[@tyronebrewer3219]

I was in San Diego in the Navy when this was filmed. They are on a cruise and the other aircraft are too close to the ship.

[@jasonm8017]

The first was such a Box Office success. We’re making a sequel…… when the kids you haven’t had yet, are in college

[@jackwagner4010]

This is a movie about oily volleyball players who fly jets in their spare time

[@panicboy3705]

At the end when Maverick said he would be there in 30 seconds, he first said he was "supersonic" which means he was going faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is approx 5 miles per second. So 30 seconds would mean he travelled about 150 miles.

[@eyezaropin1304]

Woah lol!! You are way off my friend! - Supersonic at sea level is 343.2 m/s or 768 mph. So in 30 seconds, he would’ve only traveled about 6.4 miles. 😎👍🏼
