F-22's were not equipped for carrier operations. The navy now flies F-35's for that role.

[@lukeleia7616]

F23 s are US Air Force. I wish the Navy could have adapted them. Yep I believe the Navy looked at them for use but yep, no carrier landing compatibility. And we all know toilet seats and wrenches in the military cost $40,000. IMHO the F22 is a great plane but yhe F 35 Mafia got the USAF to hate the F22, allegedly due to high maintenance costs. As far as the movie and the Navy "s F35s, Maverick says in the beginning that the target jamming takes the F35 put of the picture. In real life, NO Marine Corp or Navy Jet IMHO operating off a regular carrier or an amphibious assault carrier should EVER, EVER, be single engine like the F 35. Crayola big time. The USMC, and USN 6th gen fighters had better be twin engine or they better invest heavily in to invisible Search and Rescue/ SAR Helicopters.

[@benvandermerwe4934]

​@@lukeleia7616No F-23 either, though you corrected yourself later. 😂

F22 also has no STOVL (Short Take Off Vertical Landing) capability. The F35B has a STOVL capability though. But, the F22 is arguably a better fighter, and stealthier than the F35. But the F35 is certainly more versatile.

[@jjc5871]

@@kenny240 ​​⁠​⁠Not arguable in the slightest, the F22 is the best fighter in the world. Unfortunately, even though they’ve received some tech updates, they’re aging and Russia and China have caught up with the Su57 and J20. Hell China has even surpassed us in the number of J20s compared to the number of F22s.

The thing about Hangman’s attitude during training is: He was absolutely right. He was doing precisely what Maverick should’ve been doing. Rooster was clearly on a slow burn, so Hangman put a stick of dynamite under it. Bringing up someone’s dead parent wasn’t gonna earn him points with the group but, if you’re gonna explode emotionally, better to do it in the classroom than on the actual mission.

[@saaamember97]

The aircraft you described at the beginning, is not the F-22 Raptor. The F-22 is an "Air Force only" asset. The aircraft that has the three configurations you described is the F-35 Lightning II. It is in the inventories of the Air Force (F-35A), Navy (F-35C), and Marines (F-35B and F-35C). The F-22 and the F-35 are the only 5th-Gen fighters in the United States inventory .... At the moment.

[@SidewaysEightSix]

The love interest “Penny Benjamin” was only mentioned in the first movie as Mavericks first love. She was the Admirals Daughter that was referenced early on when Mav and Goose are getting chewed out, and later on the double date with goose and his wife, goose’s wife tells the Military Adviser “Charlie” all about the time Mav went ballistic with Penny Benjamin.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

People were bummed out by Charile being replaced, but it’s easily explained without onscreen exposition… Charlie was career driven and got the job in Washington that she was going for. Maverick is a Naval Aviator, his place is in a cockpit, taking off and landing on boats. He also was briefly a Top Gun instructor. Their respective career paths caused them to separate, and as Mav stayed in the Navy on the West Coast, he regularly rekindled his on/off relationship with Penny.

[@SoupCanSam-se9cz]

@@CoffeeMatt10 And have you seen what the actress who played her looks like now in real life? The way Hollywood works, Tom Cruise would never be caught in a romance scene with her these days.. She even admits some of that in an interview. Even she knows.. Age has been kind to Tom Cruise, but not Kelly Mcgillis

[@kenny240]

So, there’s a small detail that F14 enthusiasts would notice about the ejection handles not working at the end of the movie. The F14 had a lock pin that would prevent the ejection straps/handles from being pulled while the aircraft is parked or being maintained. When you’d get in the plane to fly, the RIO would have to remove the pin to arm the ejection seat. Since Maverick wasn’t responsible for this, he wouldn’t necessarily remember it given the situation stealing the aircraft. And Rooster wouldn’t have necessarily known about it since he would never have been trained on it. It’s a neat little detail IMO.

[@williamfrench8184]

Bruh, you are literally the FIRST reactors I have seen react to this movie who actually know what Mach means and therefore understand the significance of the DarkStar program.

I watched this in the cinema with my son and at certain points the whole theater was cheering it was such a great atmosphere and in the cinema it was mind blowing with all the noise and action, it was so good I went back to watch it again a few days later ❤

[@mobilegamer8922]

Just FYI, Tom cruise was not actually flying. He was sitting in the back seat of a 2 seat configuration F-18. Similar to how Bob is sitting behind Phoenix. They just made it look like he was in one of the single seat variations.

[@phj223]

I watched this in a theater, twice. The sound design was just amazing. In the intro when the F-18 goes full afterburner on the carrier deck, I had a full body eargasm. o.O

2:31 incorrect, that’s not a Raptor. That’s the F-35C Lightning II. The F-22 Raptor is an Air Force jet only. The F-35 has 3 variants, F-35A (Air Force), F-35B (Marines), and F-35C (Navy) 😊

[@crazyman7671]

54:22 some real Navy/Air Force legit pilots reviewed this movie on their YT channel (MoverRuinsMovies, or something like that) and they said that move is possible in these new aircrafts, but not recommended in fighting. The reason being is that missles have a prox trigger. When the missle has a lock like here and then the target suddenly moves like that but is still close, the missle instantly explodes. So the move wouldnt work IRL. another thing, when they are going "what...the..." and "WTF was THAT???" All Maverick had to do, was move slightly to the left and he could turn the Su57 there into swiss cheese.

[@ashleypayne2778]

That rope thingy is called an arresting cable. The deck of a carrier is short. You need the arresting cable to bring the aircraft to a quick stop.

[@jjbyrd04]

Air density at the altitude where the hypersonic jets would fly is significantly thinner than down low where modern fighters typically fly. With such a significant decrease in air density, flying mach 10 at that altitude and ejecting is basically the same as ejecting at much lower speeds down lower where the air density is thicker.

[@tru3sk1ll]

Top tier intro, amazing, I could literally feel myself in the cockpit with you guys, the g's are incredible, and the ejection sequence, you guys should make movies

[@roberthall5580]

After the movie... Everyone stayed and talked about the movie for a few minutes

[@Soundtracks92]

In real life he would’ve died instantly ejecting at Mach 10, because of the 7,672mph winds hitting him and tearing his body to shreds. Supersonic wind is enough to kill you, so imagine what high-hypersonic would do. Unless he ejected inside of a protected capsule connected to the plane. Which I’m assuming he did :)

[@novaclan8542]

When everything goes wrong he’s obviously not going that fast lol, the engines probably gives out and then it keeps slowing down and he probably ejected at a safe pace

[@Soundtracks92]

@@novaclan8542 but it doesn’t show him slowing down. It only shows him ejecting immediately at Mach 10.2

[@novaclan8542]

@@Soundtracks92 does he eject? We don’t see it

[@MrMcbear]

In this hypothetical reality it would definitely be a pod style cockpit ejection,

[@paratus04]

It’s actually not clear if it would be totally unsurvivable. An SR71 pilot survived the breakup of his plane at mach3+ at 80,000+ft. While the speed is massive the atmosphere is very thin so aerodynamic forces on the pilot weren’t enough to kill him. An ejection system (cockpit ejects with pilot) that protects the pilot at speed and altitude would have likely been one of the requirements of the prototype plane he was flying. So I put his survival as plausible.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

22:50 it’s not so much that it’s not a priority, it’s that it’s those few pilots’ lives vs millions of lives (sacrifice the few to save the many), mission success is the top priority, getting home is the bonus. Cyclone is the one who has to task those men and women to do these types of missions, he almost has to detach and desensitise himself from the mission and the man in order to make these decisions. So as callous as he sounds here, he does care and wants them to come home, it’s just that he has accepted that some of them, maybe none of them, may come back. As he says “every mission has its risks.” 53:44 Easter egg to the original Top Gun: when he’s in the classroom and Charlie makes a suggestion to him, he makes a counter - “if I reverse on a hard cross, I can immediately go to guns on him” - here he is, reversing on a hard cross and immediately going to guns on him. Just to clarify, it’s the F-35 Lightning, not the F-22 Raptor, and the reason they didn’t use it is because they couldn’t film the cast in it, so they came up with an excuse (GPS jamming) to rule it out as an option and use the F-18 instead. The F-18 has a 2 seat version, which allowed them to film the cast in the backseat… they couldn’t fly the planes themselves, Cruise even asked if he could be trained and was told no, as civilians are not permitted to fly military aircraft, so they had Navy pilots in the front seat while the cast sat in the backseat. Cruise wanted as much authenticity as they could get, and that was the compromise… they still got to “fly” in the jets and experience G forces for real while acting. The final act where Mav and Rooster steal an F-14 - when Rooster says “how are we gonna get this museum piece in the air?”, it’s very appropriate as the ground scenes were filmed using an actual F-14 that they shipped out to location from San Diego Air and Space Museum, so it is in fact a museum piece. All the aerial footage is CGI. The US no longer has active F-14s (only Iran has, amazingly), nor do they have access to the “5th Gen fighter” (aka the Russian Su-57), so the whole sequence is CGI. They did get former F-14 pilots and mechanics in as advisors to help portray the most accurate performance of the F-14… and boy did they do a great job, showing the big girl has some tricks up her sleeve. In reality those wouldn’t be enough against a 5th gen fighter, but this movie is “a love letter to aviation”, and they made sure to show that “it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot”. Easter eggs in the bar scene - when we are introduced to Penny, the song in the background is “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie, who starred opposite Jennifer Connolly (Penny) in Labyrinth. - When Hangman selects a song from the jukebox, he presses 86… the original Top Gun released in 1986. Also, song 86 is “Slow Ride” by Foghat, and while it plays, Hangman teases Rooster about his slow flying style (ie Rooster is a slow rider). - Miles Teller (Rooster) learned to play “Great Balls Of Fire” on the piano for the scene. The scene was shot as a live take. His version was put on the OST, and there is an edited music video for it, so Teller has an official cover of “Great Balls…” to his credit.

[@metalore]

You're right, he shouldn't be able to eject at Mach 10. There's a theory that he died and the rest of the movie was a dream of redemption he had during his death. Makes sense.

9:39 Flight in aircraft of extreme speed capabilities are often considered with ejection capsules in mind, so the pilots don't die instantly upon contact (at this point we could consider it a "collision") with the outside air. The ejection capsule concept came to be as early as on the experimental Bell X-2, capable of mach 3. For reference, the X-1 was the very first craft to successfully break the sound barrier.

[@BandofBrothersTours]

Answer to many of your questions, as a few have stated before. 1- those are not F22 Raptors, the Raptor is an Air Force jet like the Viper (F16) and Eagle (F15). They are actually F35’s or affectionately called Fat Amy and the Navy, Air Force and Marines all fly their particular version. The main reason they did not showcase the F35’s in the film is because it is only a single seat air craft. The Super Hornet (F18) comes in both single seat and family model (2 seat). They wanted to put the actors into the jet and have them fly (not pilot), so all the scenes you get of the actors they are actually in the back seat of the jet. What is really great though is the fact that Tom Cruise was able to do a Cat-Shot, so it is actually him in the back seat of the Super Hornet when they are launched from the carrier, which is really cool. Tom is an actual pilot and that is actually him flying his personal P51 Mustang at the end of the film. He took Jennifer Connelly up in that plane and from what I hear she enjoyed it. This is a near perfect film, seeing the original back in the day in the theater was amazing and this film got everyone my age feeling full of nostalgia. Only complaint is the sound of the gun in the Tomcat, that is not how that cannon sounds, not even close. And that is truly not a huge deal. I bought a new theater set up in my house because of this film, the opening to this film and the original Top Gun are 100% testosterone fueled happiness. Thanks for the great reaction- love watching these films with new people, brings me back to the theater.

[@BandofBrothersTours]

Also, in the original film the actual star is not Tom Cruise, he was known but not that well known. The actual star was the F14 Tomcat. It is 100% why they brought it back in this film, no other jet is as iconic on film as the Tomcat. Fast, swept wing design and super powerful. It has a screen presence larger than life and the US Navy retired them about 18 years ago, they are very expensive to maintain but the folks in Iran still fly a few of them.

What you got out of the first movie was that the Russian's (they were not) had the best planes? Where do we start? First off, the instructors flew American made F5 and A4 aircraft. They flew these planes because their flight profiles closely resembled a few Russian Mig aircraft. They were not actual Russian aircraft though and to call them better than an F14 Tomcat is the best joke you told in many movies. You really did not think that the U.S. Navy let Tom Cruise fly an F18 did you? F18's are primarily single seat jets but there are two seater F18's (see Bob's position as the RIO or WSO). They are strike F18 as opposed to the single seat F18's which are attack aircraft. Every single cast member was filmed in the back seat with an actual fighter pilot flying the plane from the front seat. A little Hollywood magic made it look like they were flying in single seat F18's.

[@charlestaylor686]

Opening aircraft carrier sequence were F-35 Lightning II's and F/A-18 Superhornets. Not F-22 Raptors. The F-22 Rapter is Air force, not Navy. Also, neither Tom Cruise nor any of the other actors were actually flying the jets. The actors were in the back seat of the F model Superhornets with an HD wide angle camera mounted on the dash and facing them. So it only looked like they were flying the jets. Real Navy Superhornet fighter pilots were in the front seat flying the planes. That's why it looks so real. Because, in a way, it was real. The actors were up there, with Navy pilots "yankin and bankin" the jets. But in the closing sequence the older propeller driven plane that Rooster and Maverick are working on together is actually one of Tom Cruise's personally owned aircraft. It's a P-51D Mustang. A very old fighter aircraft, left over from World War 2. The best bomber escort of World War 2. And Tom Cruise (Maverick) is actually flying that and taking Jennifer Connelly (Penny Benjamen) for a ride.

[@chadro_g1145]

Ok, so real quick… it is possible to eject at high speeds, it’s high altitudes that can get you killed easily because of the lack of oxygen. People survived the SR-71 disintegrating around them at ~ Mach 3.2 or so. It’s well know they can go faster, but the real number is not disclosed. The speed of sound, aka Mach, varies. It is not a set number. It depends on the altitude, barometric pressure, humidity, basically the weather in general. That’s because the density of the air determines how fast a sound wave can travel through it. The F-22 is not the aircraft at the beginning on the carrier. The F-22 is an Air Force only aircraft. It couldn’t handle the abuse of repeated carrier landings and/or launching by catapult. This was by design to be lighter, more agile, and carry more ordnance. The planes on the carrier were the F/A-18, which comes in many variants, but is almost exclusively used by the Navy. It replaced the F-14 from the first movie right around the time the movie was made. That’s because the role for the aircraft changed. The F-14 was meant to intercept enemy bombers and planes at a long distance. They were supposed to go fast and far, then lock on to those aircraft, and fire phoenix missiles at them and which also had serious speed and legs for the day. The F/A-18 has many rolls, from signals intelligence (sigint), aerial refueling in some instances, bomber, and fighter. I believe there’s others but I can’t recall them right now. It is a way slower, less powerful, but more able aircraft than the F-14. The radar is better, and the AIM-9 AMRAAM missile is more capable than the Phoenix in many ways, but the warhead is smaller and does way less damage. This is the current primary long range “stick” they have, but they are developing some that ~double the range and warhead capabilities. These will all working in the next aircraft too. The F-35 is the other aircraft on the carrier. It wasn’t used in the movie to help protect the technology, abilities, and tactics. The F-35 is unique in that it is being used by all branches on the military. There are currently three variants. The F-35A goes to the Air Force, the wings are a bit smaller and sleeker as it doesn’t need the additional lift to get off a carrier deck at slower speeds. It is the fastest of the three. The F-35B goes to the Marines. Because they have smaller carriers, they historically used either helicopters and V/STOL (vertical/short take off and landing) aircraft. This was traditionally the roll filled by the Harrier Jump Jet AV-8 (A, B, and C variants). The AV-8 redirected its thrust to take off and land this way, but was very difficult to master. The F-35B also redirects thrust, but also has a little party trick. Just behind the canopy a door opens on the top and bottom of the aircraft’s fuselage. Inside that space is a “fan” that is ran by the main engine. The rear nozzle, which normally directs its thrust straight out the back swivels down and now directs it downward. So, you’ve got upward thrust in the front and rear of the aircraft. The computer handles a bit part of the balancing roll that pilots use to do themselves, making it way more stable and safer to use. Then, once airborne, the nozzle starts to rotate back to the normal position which makes the aircraft start to move faster and faster forward. Eventually theirs enough forward movement to generate enough lift to no longer need the fan up front. So, it closes and the pilot flys the aircraft as usual. All that extra weight makes the “B” variant slower, less efficient, more expensive, and unable to lift the same payload. But, man does it look cool doing it! The F-35C is the Navy version. It has a larger wing area for more lift at lower speeds to help take off from a carrier deck. This makes the “C” also a bit slower, less efficient, but capable of lifting more. I believe we export all three variants to our allies, whereas the F-22 was actually made illegal to export to anyone, regardless of their relationship to us. The military tried this “jack of all trades” technique before, but you usually end up with the “jack of all trades, master of none” situation, and nobody wants that. The F-4 was flown by the Navy and Air Force. Arguably one of the sexiest looking aircraft ever by the way. Both branches made drastic changes to it to fit their requirements. The F-15 was considered to be used like this, but the Navy rejected it and went with the F-14 instead. The F-111 also was going to have this approach as well, but the Navy wasn’t sold on “swing wing” at that point, only to ironically go with the F-14 a bit later. The F-14A was notorious for being bad about “flame outs”. The “A’s” engines were a decent amount faster at top speed, but slower to accelerate. Those reasons forced an engine change that showed up in the “B” variant. The engines in that version were more reliable, had better acceleration, but less top speed. This was considered acceptable as the accuracy and range of the missiles has increased. So, what the planes lacked the legs to do, the missiles had. Sorry for the rant. I’m no expert of these things by a long shot, so don’t think I’m claiming to be. I did have an uncle that was a “Naval Aviator”, and as a kid he knew I wanted to fly. So, probably breaking a lot of rules in the process, he would send me manuals and documentation on the aircraft used by all US branches. Being born in 72, I to read about a lot of the historic aircraft. He sent me that stuff until he retired in the mid 80’s. I used to do book reports on them in school. I even had teachers give me bad grades saying my information was wrong or unverifiable. Imagine their surprise when I’d bring the book in to show them! A history teacher of mine in the 8th grade was shocked to see what I had a copy of (it was about the SR-71, originally called the RS-71 by the way, but President Johnson said it wrong during an address on TV so they changed the name instead of correcting him). He was ex-Air Force and was super pissed that I had that. I explained to him how I got it, but did not mention a name. Two days later I got an A+ on my paper. Anyway, I knew from the age of ~ 5 I was going to be in the Air Force, I never considered anything else. Then at 18, just before graduation, I became a type 1 diabetic. That screwed me out of any military service and any chance of ever having a pilots license. But, because I’ve always loved the subject, it’s something I still read about on at least a weekly basis.

The reason why they didn’t do the F22 Raptors is because those planes are under the US Air Force. The Navy has no right to access them.

[@kevinmarshall854]

The plane that Maverick was working and flew with Penny at the end of the movie is really Tom Cruises airplane and it was him that was flying it.

[@GregorysBrain]

You're thinking of the F-35s, not the F-22 Raptor. The F-22 Raptor is far more maneuverable than the F-35s.

[@taylorhughes4891]

Can we just acknowledge that it wasn't just tom that did the plane stunts. They all had to go through rigorous training & were actually flying as well.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

The F-18 is in this movie and still in service. The F-16 is still in service. The F-22 is not Carrier based. The F-35 is the VTOL aircraft that is used by the Marines and Navy on land and on Carriers but used not in this movie.

[@chrismalik1579]

The whole argument about stop killing off the old characters. It all depends on the story and the narrative. If it fits the story in the narrative it makes sense for what's going on with the characters, then there is no problem with it. But if you're just killing off the old characters is to kill them off to make way for the new characters Then I agree, they shouldn't do that.

[@thomas8853]

You are right about everything but the name of the F35 lightning there are variant, Marines have the hover variation, navy has the low takeoff variation, and AirForce generic high load variation. Also 13 countries contributed to the F35 project. The F22 Raptor is an air superior fighter with the main purpose of air combat, only made/financed/used by the US and its Airforce. It is the best fighter made so far.

[@ianlove1215]

That is his P-51 Mustang. The first bit is the only thing that disappoints. In the first film the opening was OK, but this one was a bit OTT. The plane is based on the SR 71 Blackbird

[@ahren3551]

Val Kilmer had throat cancer he became cancer free in 2021 but the chemo an radiation therapy permanently affected his voice they used Val kilmers son to record a voice recording an his son sounds jus like his dad

[@manutdfan8510]

The enemy plane at the end is an su57 felon and it's a russian 5th gen fighter, it can pull ridiculous maneuvers because of something called thrust vectoring where it can push thrust out at certain angles to push the rear of the aircraft round at silly angles so it looks like the plane should fall straight out of the sky,some older russian planes have thrust vectoring too,NATO's 5th gen fighters use thrust vectoring too now but the Russians have had it longer . . . . its extremely satisfying to watch lol look up a manoeuvre called the falling leaf 👍 you wont be disappointed

[@jakegittes1864]

You guys *NEED* to watch *Whiplash.* It stars Miles Teller (Rooster) and JK Simmons (J Jonah Jameson from Spider-Man). It’s amazing. You’ll love it. Very intense.

[@rileychadwell5635]

YOU.... spoke over the BELLz!!!

[@kevinmarshall854]

For Val Kilmer's vvoide since he now needs to use an electronic device to press against his throat to be able to speak they used his son's voice which sounds like his father's voice and with some vcd very special effects they were able to make it seem like Val was doing the talking in the scene with MAVERICK and ICEMAN at ICEMAN's house. Val Kilmer did have throat cancer and that is why he is not able to speak without using the electronic device.

[@Jake-love939]

They're F-35 Lightning II, my guy. F-22s Raptors are flown by the Air Force.

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@davidabeytia4683]

The joystick and the snapping, so entertaining. I could totally tell you were really into it. I have to look up some of your other content.

[@bigwrig0485]

@10:00 yes you're correct the movie should end here lol

[@robertlain6095]

Navy is Blue Angels Air Force are Thunderbirds

[@genesfel]

He can eject at Mach 10 inside an ejection capsule, just like the B-58

[@kraven4444]

I was thinking the same. But the capsule would have to be able to survive in Mach 10 for a split second and then it would decelerate quite fast. Not sure if that sudden deceleration would be survivable either.

[@PaulGibson-v3f]

Ejection on this type of platform has the whole cockpit unit is ejected on rockets and then parachutes deploy As for the speed rumour has a mach 6 bird or better available called Aurora which looks like a manta or triangle design

[@TheBrother847]

I saw this movie with my whole family in theaters, my father has and still builds the F4-14 engine which is the engine that in the FA-18 super hornet, which means that these planes have the engines that my father most likely built and inspected

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Not the same woman, , the Admiral's, daughter, 6 fly bus on towers and on one on the Admiral's daughter, got Maverick demoted again..😂❤

[@Soundtracks92]

Mach 10 is 7,672mph 😊 10 times the speed of sound

[@paratus04]

The speed of sound is altitude dependent because it’s directly affected by the density of the material the sound wave is passing through. Above 50,000ft the speed of sound falls off to around 660mph. That plane is flying above 80,000ft so it’s probably around 6600mph at Mach 10.

[@RazvanSuioganTiberiu]

YOU MUST WATCH WHIPLASH!!!!!!! Miles Teller is sensational in that!

[@Boortz007]

I love watching these two. They’re usually really good. Today they were totally obnoxious and wouldn’t shut up. I even wondered if they possibly got high before recording it.

[@aparkc]

Tom Cruise has a couple good movies like Risky Business, Born on the 4th of July, The Firm, A Few Good Men, Rain Man, Days of Thunder, The Color of Money, Minority Report, Collateral, Mission Impossible 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow, Jack Reacher, The Last Samurai, Jerry Maguire, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, and American Made.

[@davidsciacca3014]

get your facts correct, it is an F14 Tomcat

[@montthegod303]

Nice vid I’m really excited for that scream 3 reaction too

[@timothyhedrick5295]

@10:17 I am not an expert in this at all, however, I've read commentary by some military pilots which stated that ejection approaching Mach 3 would result in all your extremities being broken if not even being ripped off. Apparently some ejection seats had straps that would automatically cinch in your arms and legs to prevent them from flailing around and being injured at high speeds. The SR-71 Blackbird (which I think could get up somewhere around Mach 5 or 6??) supposedly had a little titanium bathtub-like capsule around the pilot that would eject with the pilot to help protect them. I don't believe anyone ever actually ejected from one though. I still find it hard to imagine anyone could eject from anything at Mach 10 and survive let alone avoid severe injuries. @27:55 is butt fingering gonna be a thing on this channel now?? 🤣

[@theoutdoorslifetv3200]

The Navy flies F35’s, not F22’s.

[@lbjohnnyjohn]

Just saying if you were going to goose him up the keester an action movie would be the best time. Also, don't let it bother you too much that the end of this movie is the end of the first Star Wars (A New Hope) movie. The attack run, impossibly small target, not using the targeting system, and basically using gut instinct (the force) to hit that target.

[@frankiek2269]

The speed of sound is 767mph. The way I always remembered it was thinking of the most famous commercial airliner, the Boeing 747. But their second most recognized plane , the Boeing 767, newer model, is bigger and faster.

[@drewf8619]

@48:13 Ayo... Jane's got them thangs!

[@phoenixsui]

speed of sound in dry air at 20 °C = 343 m / s m=meters not miles :)

[@KonohazFinest]

Thats a real move done by experienced fighter pilots created by Russian fighter pilot i believe

[@Rated314]

They refer to the enemy fighter jets as only "5th Generation Fighters", to avoid naming any country as the aggressor in the movie. Naming a specific jet, would make a specific country as "the bad guy"... which would be bad

[@TyrellMunson]

The perfect sequel.

[@mervinmerencio6861]

Collateral with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx

[@Randomizer939]

21:20 Can't have "eyes guy" since he is sitting in that seat 😋 (Also I believe you can fly F18 only with right hand joystick so he can't touch the canopy with right hand while turning, but he does it, maybe he is so good)

[@seanconner4]

all actors sat in the rear seat of the jets...non military persons are NOT allowed to fly military aircraft...Tom did fly his private prop plane at the end

[@KSDVLmom]

Y'all woulda had a heart attack in the IMax theater! I'm as calm as they come and this movie gave me such anxiety , but I went back to see it 3 more time lol

[@bambamnj]

You both were great. I really enjoyed watching your reactions
