So straight out of the box, in my personal opinion, it's the best aviation-related movie I have seen in the last 30 years! It's freaking awesome. I'm still buzzing from it. You won't believe! I was screaming "Yeah buddy", way to often during this movie!
Over the next couple of minutes, I want to talk to you a little about the movie, but don't worry, I won't reveal any spoilers because I want you to enjoy this movie with all its action and surprises as much as I did.
So I'll speak about the actors, a little bit about the plot of the movie, then the most important part, the planes, and at the end why you should go and see it!
Don't think, just do it, and let's get started!
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

Joe, the F/A-18 A, B, C and D models are the legacy hornets that have been retired by the navy. This movie only features the F/A-18E (single seater) and F (two seater) models.

Great review, but Super Hornet refers only to the F/A-18E and F/A-18F. The Hornet, or Legacy Hornet, refers to the A, B, C, and D models. Easiest way to tell them apart is that the Super Hornet has square intakes and the Legacy Hornet has roind intakes.

[@paulloveless9180]

Big facts.

[@packetmaster11]

Also, The E/F's are significantly larger than the A/B/C/D's. To complete the lineup, there is an F/A-18F derivative which is the EA-18G Growler, although for a completely different role

[@hanschristianben505]

another different feature between the legacy and super bugs are the larger leading edge extentions (LERXs) on the super bug compared to the legacy ones the super bug is actually closer in size to the now-retired F-14 tomcats (though still a bit smaller)

[@lzh4950]

Thought the C & D models have square intakes also

[@hanschristianben505]

Top Gun has to be one of the most highly anticipated sequels. Tom Cruise always brings his A Game.

[@Ghost_Riley_TF141]

did you know that tom cruise had actually flown an F/A 18 in some of the scenes, and over 90% of the clips are real and inside an actual F/A 18

[@f18murderhornet]

@@Ghost_Riley_TF141 i doubt tom cruise flew the plane solo. He sat in the back seat for the entire movie. Maybe the pilot let him have some stick time for fun. But no way the navy would have allowed tom to pull the stunts.

[@JD-rox]

I remember about 20 years ago I heard a super load roar in the sky. I looked up and it was a (almost) Iranian F14 Tomcat low flying as part of a parade. I was flabbergasted and could not believe what I hd saw. Still I get a goose bump when I see F14 flying. Definitely going to watch the movie

[@hendongooner7383]

Such a good movie. Aerial sequences were superb and also the story had a lot of hearth warming elements. Highly recommended.

[@rogerionascimento9080]

Captain Joe I can't thumbs up enough on this review. It's cool knowing that Tom Cruise owns a P51 Mustang 🐎 on of the favorite planes out of WWII. I've always wanted to own a warbird.

[@lmj06]

The F/A-18A/B/C/D is the classic hornet and have been retired for about 3 years. The planes in the movie are the F/A-18E (Single seater) and the F/A-18F (dual seater) Super Hornet

[@r.redlaff5075]

For sure one of the greatest movies created, watched it in 4DX and got goosebumps like 30 times

Hello 👋

[@sonukumarmandal2872]

Can't wait now, going to watch this tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing more such aviation movie reviews in your forthcoming videos.

[@AthanImmortal]

I've not seen a Captain Joe video for a while, but I had this sudden feeling to look you up, I couldn't remember the channel name, but I typed "Can a passenger land a plane" because I remembered that was one of the videos, and here you are, 18 minutes ago! Thanks for the review, will be looking out for this movie.

[@hanschristianben505]

the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye airborne warning and control turboprop airplane also made the cut with some gorgeous in-flight shots, also the F-35C Lightning IIs got some fancy glamour angles... and yes (and I apologize 😅😅) reemphasizing the F/A-18s used are the F/A-18E (single seat) and F (twin seat) Super Hornets, the A/C single seaters and B/D twin seaters are the older/original Legacy Hornets, not featured in the film at all due to it being retired from frontline Navy service, though they still fly them on land bases for training/testing purposes, and if I’m not mistaken, the US Marine Corps are still flying them...and apparently they are reluctant to get Super Bugs on their fleets, preferring to get more of the vertical takeoff/landing capable F-35Bs and carrier CATOBAR capable F-35Cs instead... also an added trivia: a total of 3 Super bugs (2 of the -E and 1 -F model) were repainted to depict Capt. Michell’s personal jet during filming. the 2 -E models, after filming was done, were both transferred to the Blue Angels aerobatic team, and are now wearing the team’s livery

[@golfprocory]

I saw an early access screening of the movie last night and it was AMAZING! I can't wait to see it again on Friday. They did a great job of using storylines from the first movie without over doing it. And the tribute to Tony Scott was a nice touch.

[@aigoochamm9323]

Its always a good day when Captain Joe uploads, and even better today with Top Gun in it too.

[@kimmay0429]

Great review! I saw Top Gun: Maverick during a sneak preview and want to see it again too! Since it was supposed to release in 2020, it was definitely worth the 2 year wait!

[@user-yk9pl4xs9b]

It is F/A-18E/F, not C/D version. You can tell the difference from jet inlet. A-D version have rounded jet inlet, while E/F variant have square inlet

(Despite the SR72 allegedly being pilotless) But I'll let that one slide. The F18's tearing through the valleys just made for some amazing cinematography!

[@Mentaculus42]

The P-51K that Tom owns may or may not be named “Kiss Me Kate” as the nose art with that name was painted over at sometime prior to filming the movie. As a note, the name was painted on during Tom’s time / marriage to Katie Holmes, and since they are not married any more, then when the name was painted over is anybody’s guess. I saw the P51-K (actually built as a F-6K Photo-Recon variant, of which only 2 are airworthy) being fueled prior to its flight to NAS where some of the movie’s filming was done. The Kiss Me Kate name was rather crudely painted over with silver paint and was in stark contrast to the polished aluminum that surrounded it. Had a chance to chat with the ferry pilot and the helper / lady that was with the pilot (she fueled the P51). A Hollywood type also showed up and was trying to keep it quite that it was Tom’s P51 for some reason, and the pilot and helper didn’t say that it was Tom’s.

[@Mentaculus42]

Need to add that the P51-K probably cost $4 million, if you can trust the internet.
