Drones and cruise missiles can’t pass out due to g-forces… can they? Look the film was well made… but the mission (besides being the Death Star trench run) was really poorly considered.

Rhom Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 If you didn't catch it, Drone Ranger is what Maverick and the guys in the early movie test pilot sequence disparagingly called the admiral that was trying to cut their funding.

But then it'd be the most boring movie ever as we watch someone with a joystick play a video game!

Myrddin Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Top Gun: Drone Ranger would look like an old LAN Party. Sweaty guys and mountain dew. Rooster: Mav, your hax00rs! Mav: So says ur mom, n00b. Rooster: Bite me. Mav: All your base are belong to us. Make your time, mother frakker! Rhom, Deadlines?

A True Kaniggit Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Ha. I just saw the scene where coyote passed out and nearly crashed. My car slams on the breaks if someone pulls out in front of me too close, but his jet couldn’t level off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many fighters have something called Auto GCAS, which will allow the plane to maneuver out of hitting the ground if the pilot appears unresponsive or confused, but the F/A-18 Super Hornet flown in the movie didn't have it at the time of production. The flight scenes were filmed in 2018, and it was in May 2018 that Congress had a line item in the budget to fund putting it into the Super Hornet fleet.

Maverick would have been half a star better if they had included the song. They can rectify this in Top Gun 3 as a geriatric Tom Cruise needs to take a hit of oxygen after pulling a sustained 9.5G in his P-51 Mustang while dogfighting against "The Peacemaker", an AI sixth-gen fighter that goes rogue during an arms show.
