Tom Cruise Terrifies James in 'Top Gun' Fighter Jet!

"Top Gun: Maverick" star Tom Cruise picks up James for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the desert where Tom pilots James in a vintage fighter plane for the afternoon. And just when James thinks he's survived, Tom informs him the two will be going up again - this time in a jet fit for modern aerial warfare. There isn't much doubt Maverick will survive the experience, but will James? "Top Gun: Maverick" comes out only in theaters May 27!

[@chrishansen456]

@@kingjohan1335 Piloting a Cessna 172 during a clear sunny day with light wind is easy with a bit of training. But now try to land the same plane and you will find it much harder than cruising. Now, before you can even land, you have to do a traffic pattern and there is always the possibility that you might stall and fall to your death, unable to recover. To make it even harder on yourself fly IMC. You need hours of training for that, because during the worst conditions you can only rely on your instruments. Flying a plane is not like driving a car. Driving only requires 2 dimensional movements, while flying requires 3 dimensional movements. General aviation is actually more dangerous than driving per mile.

My Tom Cruise story. My dad is in the movie business and he took me to about 20 movie premieres in Hollywood/Los Angeles when I was a teenager and their after parties(when the venue allowed). I can’t count how many movie stars I met. But Tom was the most impressive by far. His character was a pleasant surprise and pleasure to witness. The majority of actors/actresses didn’t want to mingle at the after parties much or at all. He’s the only one that I’ve ever seen literally spend hours meeting and saying hi to people, literally a lined formed, he looked at each person in the eyes, making them feel like they were special and genuinely engaging with every single person. I asked my Dad about that and he said Tom considers the moments he shares with his fans and supporters as his duty as a lead an actor and to the film. Truly impressive human.

The man is being paid to entertain his own expensive hobbies as an overpaid actor. If he was the prince of an oil rich country, he'd still be doing these things. He's not "committing" to anything regarding a role whatsoever. He chooses to make these movies that involve stunts because he wants to. He owns the damn production company. All that said, this video was highly entertaining.

[@mimiblitberg]

As crazy as Tom cruise is, he definitely does amazing things! His movies are worth watching for the simple fact he does his own stunts.

[@CYMotorsport]

I’ll never forget he ACTUALLY could drive a proper formula 1 car. Took him a while but he was on the pace too - much more than I expected. He has a history of flying so while his story on doing his mission impossible stunt will be always be damn near suicidal, I’ll always be impressed it took him a day to get within a few seconds of a good lap time in a car many fail to crack even after years of prepping

Total respect for Cruise - He is the definition of owning it. From his own stunts to learning how to do everything himself whether it's flying, racing, scaling a high rise and more. You have to appreciate his skills and his acting talent. I love his humor here. I love the "get it done" mentality.

[@elizabethbrammer7022]

I think what most people don’t realize is that in order to fly these planes, he has to be type-rated on each one, separately, costing anywhere from $25k-$100k for the instructions and flight time… for him to be type-rated on so many different aircraft is insanely cool! That, and he has to regularly take up those planes in order to stay current!

[@DarkLordDiablos]

The way you have to be type rated for different planes is something I feel should be the same for cars considering once you pass your test you can pretty much get into any car and go for a drive hence why there are some many crashes by people who buy a certain type of car but can't control it.
