TOP GUN (1986) Behind the Scenes - Interview with "Organ" Hammonds

[@2ZZGE100]

That unseen footage from 'Top Gun' of F-14 doing those crazy barrel rolls almost departing, throwing chaff/flares, turns etc. s gold. Wish we could see all of those hours of unused footage.

[@wsucougarfan]

That would be so cool!

[@PaRadiZer]

Just a mind blowing report. As a Norwegian teenager in 1986 I would never in my life have believed that I would one day sit here and watch and listen to the true, behind the scenes stories of the Top Gun shootings. Simply awesome. From the bottom of my heart, thank's.

[@ReeseMacalma]

Thank you, Mover! These interviews have all been amazing.

[@tonykennedy8483]

100% agree

Organ: "1v1 Guns Only" - LEGEND!!

[@paulweatherford5544]

My brother who graduated from the Naval Academy in 1996, had a teacher for leadership who flew the Tomcat in the first Top-Gun movie. His primary scene was the one where a missile was actually fired. Actually from what I know second hand, there was only one real missile actually released for the entire movie.

[@TheOneTrueChris]

That's partly true. They fired one Sidewinder and one Sparrow. And if you watch closely, each successive missile shot is one of these same shots, just reversed back and forth.

[@paulweatherford5544]

The One True Chris The “story” from my brother was that the command only had one launch, but that is here-say. Now 2 we’re allowed. All good, but the launches and the use of cinematography had more when the movie was released as you are correct. From what my little brother said, command thought more were launched and they were upset, talking about O7 and higher in rank. 😀😀

[@wsucougarfan]

Thanks Mover and Organ, this has been a fun, entertaining series! Looking forward to Part 5 😎

[@fthrgasp]

Mover, I've watched literally every interview you've done on this channel, and they've just consistently gotten better and better. Great interviews, great people, freakin love the stories. Good job man!!!

[@anthonytimperio1254]

I remember seeing Top Gun as a kid and my dad telling me that Ricky Hammonds was from our area and that he was one of the pilots in the movie. As I grew up, some of the coolest memories I have of growing up was when Ricky would fly over his family's air service in Houma, LA. For me, it was like seeing Top Gun in real life. I will never forget it. Thanks CDR Hammonds for bringing fighter jets into our everyday life.

[@jonmiller2205]

Top gun is a good movie

Ricky is my cousin

[@dougstitt1652]

again thx mr hammonds and Mover for your time great listen !

[@StephanieStrickler-j3k]

Hey Ricky I am sure that you realize that I am your cousin. Visited your dad a few years ago and went to his hanger. Charles had some very interesting memorabilia that me and my sister, Juevonne really enjoyed the visit. We also visited your aunt's and uncles. Really enjoyed all of them. I am really enjoying these videos. Keep it up cuz.

[@brianburchart7592]

Incredible insights, well worth the watch. Truly appreciate your effort in production and sharing some awesome information.

[@36w3s.talbot4]

I can listen to you and your guests all day long on your & there exploits flying fighters. I still like it when I think he said flying the F-5 the best. I think it just shows while you two have parallel worlds of flying that the ages of the aircraft i.e F-5 (1980''s)for him and the F-16 (2010's) for you show the positive technology progression in our flying fighters. Great show Mover, thank U.

[@jeffstrains4014]

What an amazing interview! Wished his internet was a little faster really liked his energy level.

[@richieismyhero]

TOMCATS! Such cool footage, great interview, what a great guy. Thanks Mover

Awesome interview again! I wish you could have Rick "Organ" Hammond episodes every week!

[@joegilgan9295]

Thanks Mover. Appreciate your excellent edits & production work on this episode. Thoroughly enjoying this series with Organ, a real raconteur who obviously walked the talk Interesting note: did it by the book (no holding the stick joke, no mid air collision), EXCEPT for that hairy 4 F5 butterfly merge with the F14 - 500 feet out the window!

[@lynnecheermom]

Another awesome interview. Very entertaining, informative and fun. Organ is very animated and enthusiastic. Thank you Sir for such an excellent interview.

Heyya, really enjoy your videos, please when can we get a review on the new top gun movie?

[@zlatkovujevic7348]

Great interview as always but only thing I don't like is Organs poor internet connection. There are so many buffer jams that kills his excitement telling his story. I cant wait to part five.

[@CWLemoine]

I did the best I could fixing it.

[@organhammonds]

Organ here…some of you have alluded to this already, but Mover’s editing skill is pure Magic. My internet connection was TERRIBLE! We lost complete connectivity at least 5 times with countless video freezes (both of us) and audio freezes on my end. And, I have AT&T fiber optics, high speed internet 1000!!!😳 So, I was disappointed (to say the least) with the buffering, etc. that occurred. Too late for this interview, but I do have a request in for a new Router…😁 Overall, Incredible skill(s), time and effort by Mover to bring His channel/these videos to everyone!!!

[@zlatkovujevic7348]

@@CWLemoine many thanks to your effort and giving us (small people) chance to hear from first hand so many great stories from man and women who served and done big, great things. Thank you Mr. Lemoine ones more for sharing this cuz these extraordinary man deserve to attention and privileges. God bless you and God speed to you all Sir.

Organ has some great stories and tells them well. Really cool stuff and the "Let me show you how to hold the stick" thing cracked me up.... OHHH easy on the aft stick pressure how bout you just play with my rudder pedals.

Huh, so the Hollywood callsign actually did belong to an actual pilot.

[@LoneWolf051]

I think the girl in TGM was referring to who would train them for that mission that the movie focuses on, not about Top Gun as a school

[@CWLemoine]

It doesn't matter. It was a stupid statement.

Typical comment section tough guy: "People these days can't take criticism! Toughen up! Rahr rahr rahr participation ribbons! Never make it in the real world! Grr!" Organ: 33:48 "Guys feel bad when they have a bad hop, man. You know, everybody... everybody's good. If you go to Top Gun as a student, you're a good fighter pilot."
