Top Gun Jets II (1988)

[@Bushy_P]

My dad went on a business trip and brought back a double VHS set. Had this and a tape on RED flag. Wore them out.

[@MARCTOWNUSA]

I had my uncle order this for me thru a magazine order form since I was a kid I always looked at these aviation magazines and saw these videos that I always wanted till my uncle made that wish come true. Such an awesome video!

[@McCracken_9]

I had this VHS! This brings me back. Thanks for uploading! I love the F-111 takeoff

[@Avofan]

I haven't seen this since I was a kid! One of my favorite movies and inspired me to fly fighters.

[@Optics06]

This video was a staple of my everyday life in the late 80s. As a 6 and 7 year old boy I cherished this VHS like gold. My best friend would watch around the clock and have fantasies of glory and victory. I wish I could revisit those early days but I tell you what...seeing this flooded my brain with thoughts that had long since dissolved away. Thank u for the upload.

[@chromelemon]

same here man. what wonderful memories. hope youre doing well.

[@thomasthomas2418]

Tech Guru: Thanks for uploading this. It seems that a lot of us grew up watching this video. It led me to my pilot's certificate and five years flying T-34As with the Sky Warriors ACM School in Atlanta GA. Good days!

[@vyadhis]

My dad give this VHS to me when I was 4 or 5 back in the 80s.

[@dhampex3631]

I had this tape as a kid and I tried looking for it for the song at 38:20. I love that song. Glad this is posted so I can hear that cut again. Brought me back. The music back then was the best for aviation documentary like this. Thanx for the post!

[@EternalEyeEntertain]

Top Gun led me to this video as a kid. I miss this music so much. Wish I could get a recording of this soundtrack.

[@Vaporvice84]

There's a few pieces of the soundtrack on various sites that own these songs.

[@reidsoria3761]

That briefing music is so cool.

[@timothydavis5261]

Refueled all those fighters and some foreign aircraft back in the 80s from 110 to - 40 degrees very good memories.

[@dinorocker8647]

Wow, now that is some SERIOUS BALLS you got on you, man Top Gun was the first film I saw, and I saw it in theaters when it came out, and that film's as old as me.

[@USAIRFORCE621]

Flying in an F-15D is a big dream of mine, over 80 years of my family's 200+ years of service is with the U.S. Air Force!

[@grimandproper]

Man. I got this VHS for Christmas '89 or '90. Never thought I'd find it here! Brings back memories for sure...

[@evrik78]

I remember I bought this film in VHS tape... At that time I was a kid and I enjoyed it awesomely. Big times!!!

[@rtd8934]

I used to rent this from block buster all the time!

[@haydensmith115]

36:20. RIP Charlie Yates. Incredible man that I am proud to have called my friend

[@Nielzep]

What happened to him?

[@AndrewChumKaser]

​@@Nielzep He died

[@AlexanderRobinsonMovieReviews]

The director of this is my dad. Thanks for sharing this on KZbin, brings back memories of watching this all the time as a kid.

[@DtRockstar1]

Awesome!! I rented this video from the store as a kid, and fell in love with it. I watched it ALL the time and was obsessed. Huge respect to you and your dad!

[@Vaporvice84]

Any chance he can help them release the music? I used to watch this all the time as a kid and still watch it to this day.

[@jadegecko]

Tell your dad he's awesome and it's great to see this again!

[@F35lightII]

The Real Mr. Robinson ...I'd watch this tape every Saturday morning as a kid.

[@tinhpham6677]

The Real Mr. Robinson you are so lucky

[@peterkhwong]

man guys, finding this video is a gem, exactly what i watched over and over as a kid. Thanks again!

[@alexking5376]

I remember this as a Kid. I must've got this at the Air Tattoo Mildenhall in 2000/2001 when I was 3/4 years old. They cut Red Alert, Soar Like an Eagle and Thunderbirds. The VHS included an Airshow with an interview with an F18 Pilot. Yes great video, old memories

[@Nlangkirby135]

I love the Air Force Hymn. Thanks for the Memories.

[@F35lightII]

I always get fired up when he says "Any questions...let's do it!" 38:00

[@Vaporvice84]

The orchestrated music is great in its own right as well. As a kid it always made me think of Superman and the movie "Space Camp".

[@richardberkefeld3613]

I love it! I bought this video as a two-pack with Jets 1 when it first came out and still have this vhs. I also bought Russian Top Guns/WW III two-pack.

[@guardadovela]

So I watched this religiously too when I was younger. Almost everyday. The VHS tape was placed in some box in the garage. I forgot the name of the video and I tried looking for it on KZbin. Moved houses and found the VHS tape in the process and was pretty happy. Didn't have a VCR handy and I was seriously considering buying one just to play this tape. Thought I try KZbin even though the name of the video is pretty generic and BAM! The whole video was uploaded. THANK YOU! Music brings me back

[@vernonjohnsonjr1241]

I have the vhs tape of this my dad bought this in the late 80s rest in peace dad

[@Zilch79]

Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V. Glad to have found this.

[@daneedwards2644]

That's cool. I have the first film that my father bought around the same time and has since passed away as well. 🙏

[@aragos32727]

I ran my tape into the ground. Thankfully I had a backup. So wanted to be a fighter jock as a kid. I love the music during the aardvark's section starting at 40:20. Thanks for uploading this. I'm my 7 year old self again!

[@techguru101a]

All the music is available at the archive.org link in the description.

[@dinorocker8647]

Damn I love that track, so much great music on here, it's way more solid than the music on some of the old military aircraft docs from the 80's I grew up watchin', so many great documentaries from the 80's on these type of aircraft, and it's all thanks to Top Gun.

[@LizardMan420]

1988! A Time where everything was just Awesome! Love these old vintage War Planes Docs.!

[@dinorocker8647]

Well that was the 80's pal, definitely a time like no other, of course some of the footage was from the 60's/70's, but yeah I think the majority of the footage was the 80's, I had the 30 min. version, it was great but this is better, the Red Flag sequence was originally on my Military Aircraft Video Report series on VHS, damn I'm glad the whole thing's been uploaded to YT, that was a great series pal, I definitely prefer the ones from the 80's to the ones from the 90's.

[@techguru101a]

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to let you all know that I have uploaded the original VHS to DVD rip file for all of you to be able to download this in the best quality available.

[@NitrixGuy]

i had this VHS when i was younger. i watched it so much love the 1st song.

[@dinorocker8647]

Man, that track was probably the closest to a Heavy Metal song on here.

[@techguru101a]

We have now made the soundtrack available for download at archive.org/details/TopGunJetsII Track 9 is my favorite. Enjoy!

[@jonah2047]

techguru101a The synth tracks from "Jets" are fantastic. I've tried looking Ronny Morales up but I couldn't find anything else that he did.

[@Vaporvice84]

jonah2047 I tried looking him up as well. I had planned on making this video file into an audio file and splitting the tracks up, but you saved me the work Techguru. Thanks!!

[@jadegecko]

Hearing this again was fantastic. I didn't remember every single track at first, but they came back pretty quick. I actually put it on when I was driving home and was really digging the introduction track. Then it was over and I was like "aw man, I was just getting into that!" Later the F-16 music comes on and it's this super duper optimistic music. The F-16 seemed to get that a lot; from Military Aircraft to Strange Planes - I mean, it makes sense. It's a high-value low-cost win-win success story, plus the plane looks like it's smiling. Then the music drops away and it's tense... and then it's like OHHH MAN THE INTRO'S BACK! It was pretty great That, and ...man, the F-111 music is a great pick for the credits track. Got the right emotion and resolution, but it's got a fast tempo so it really takes you out on a high note.

[@Vaporvice84]

I was able to score this videotape on amazon a few years back after having not seen it in years. I posted it up on youtube as well, but the quality sucked, even on the tape itself. This quality is SUPERB!! THANK YOU for posting this. Sounds just as crisp and clear as it did back in 1991 when I was 7 years old and watched it all the time. I am DEFINITELY saving this video.

[@APerson-ni1gb]

PROTECT THIS VID AT ALL COSTS 😅

[@scarface1211]

Always motivates the hell out of me when the guy says let’s do it during the f15 part... 🤘

[@tiadaid]

This brings back a lot of memories. I remember watching the video and trying to replicate the action on Jane's Fighter Anthology game on my PC.

[@raymondyee2008]

Still remember watching the VHS tape on this.

[@dayramartinez2799]

Who sees it 2019??

[@jcirvine38]

2020? Yes!😆

[@techguru101a]

We have now added this video to Archive.Org where it can be downloaded. archive.org/details/TopGunJetsII The MPEG2 version is the original encoding with the highest quality.

[@mrandrossguy3832]

Hope this stays on KZbin Forever !! I Grew up with this Stuff

[@samivwow]

Can you image flying these in the 90s.... Brand NEW spanking jets, awesome tech, no money restrictions, flying everyday. THE DREAM

[@dinorocker8647]

No FAA seriously restrictin' flight by chokin' down on it by sayin' you only can do this, that, whatever, flight is supposed to be free, now commercial and military flight path regs I get, that's for safety reasons, don't wanna wind up like a bug on a windshield of a 747 or military transport, but the FAA is a GOVERNMENT AGENCY, and The Man is tryin' to take away any sort of freedom, includin' free flight, and he can't have that now can he?

[@jadegecko]

3:50 - wait, the A-10 false canopy is a lot older than I thought it was!

[@victorbernier4765]

I haven't seen this since i was 17 years old and now 40 it brings back memories

[@scarface1211]

Love this movie!

[@mildenhall1987]

[@hpa2005]

The Vocal Majority singing the Air Force Hymn at the end is my favorite part

[@Nlangkirby135]

Same. It makes me cry tears of joy. :')

[@RafaelSiberon]

God bless you mate!!!!

[@techguru101a]

Same here, I found the VHS used on Amazon for a few bucks then had to repair one of my old VCR's to digitalize it.

[@robbert8233]

I like topgun and planes

[@king_jenkins3234]

Lol I used to have this on vhs so many memories 😂

[@techguru101a]

Added link in description to a scan of the VHS cover.

[@jadegecko]

[@Robert-um2vb]

This is so amazing!

[@FN_FAL_4_ever]

Starting @ 33:26 the music sounds like its from Megaforce

[@Vaporvice84]

Well techguru, you definitely live up to your name, lol. And I thank you kindly for it!!

[@williamtheconqueror3]

This is cool!!

[@adrianu399]

Does anyone know exactly what he is saying at 42:08 over the radio? What does it mean? Can someone translate to non pilot talk

[@nigeh5326]

Enjoyed this :-)

[@antonioguerrero5017]

quiero ver la película de top gun completa en español no los trailer ni nada de eso pon gala la busco y sale todo menos lo q quiero ver es una de mis favoritas el idioma en español por favor

[@AshleyThomas-ju2ln]

I never knew they had the F-16 during this time

[@aragos32727]

Falcons first flight was 1974. Huge issues with their fly by wire systems. Surviving family members sued the government over it.

[@GIJeff1944]

I wish I could get a soundtrack of this docu!

[@ironroad18]

Check the description

[@bryanaf101]

Me too! Everyday!

[@adrianu4442]

does anyone know what airbase those f-111 are taking off from?

[@MAN1UAL2]

+Adrian u ...The F-111 footage is a collage of clips of 'Varks taking off from bases all over the world including footage during its prototype days. The only tail code I could see was 'UR', and I'm guessing that it's Upper Heyford AFB in UK. And the tail number indicates that it's an F-111D. BTW; Tail code for Upper Heyford AFB now is 'UH'.

[@techguru101a]

HiFi Stereo VCR to Hardware MPEG2 Encoder via Composite Video and R/L Line Audio, Resulting MPEG2 file straight to youtube.

[@فرشیدشاه]

جالب بود

[@ironroad18]

Since the F-15E was the F-111's direct replacement, my tribute to the F-111 using the original soundtrack : kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2KQfYx9Zr1secU

[@lissethespino5847]

Haass no puedo ver completa la pelicula idolos del aire k mal

[@canni3al53]

music makes me want to grow a mullet and shotgun a beer

[@cynthiaperez5882]

Is this the one with Tom Cruise in it??

[@techguru101a]

No.

[@mrandrossguy9871]

techguru101a LoL , this IS A Classic Though

[@ironroad18]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHO8hpyseZ6GnpI From "Soar like an Eagle"

[@Vaporvice84]

Dude, THANK YOU so much for posting this. I've always wanted to find the music to this tape 'clean' (no sound effects).

[@techguru101a]

Are the rest of them available anywhere? I can't find that one on Spotify.

[@techguru101a]

I guess I need to take the time to run all the songs though SoundHound to ID them...

[@tiadaid]

@@techguru101a I doubt Spotify has it, since all of the music are from music libraries for movie/video production. For example, the music for the Thunderbirds segment can be found here under the name Our Hero (for the beginning where they enter their F-16s), and Movie Magic (for the flying sequences) manhattan.sourceaudio.com/#!explorer?b=3453496

[@netgalactic]

play mobiles?
