Wow! Well that answers the question of how the aerial footage looks ten levels above anything shot before, so all of them are in with fighter pilots?
It's kind of funny that two of these shorts aren't of Cruise but of the actual pilot in front while Cruise rides shotgun.
Still. It is impressive the actors actually went up and all their reactions are real.
I think the only actual flying with Cruise will be in his Spitfighter plane
It's exactly what they did in the first film so I'm sure with the tech they have these days, it'll be somewhat seamless.Yeah, majority of Super Hornets are single seat. It doesn't seem noticeable that he's in the rear seat in those shots, making it easy to look like he's up front. Then they're filming the actual pilots from behind wearing a Maverick helmet to look like him.

Shots from inside the cockpit were shot in simulators against a projection screen but external shots of the aerial action were done with pilots wearing helmets of the actors' characters. So I guess not exactly but still was done for certain shots in the original.Huh. I have to rewatch the movie for those scenes where they were actually in the air. Most of flying scenes I thought were on the ground on a simulator.
Anyone notice that Goose's son's call sign is "Rooster? lol

P-51 Mustang actually. I could see an offer you can't refuse if an American actor held on to one of the few surviving flying Spitfire'sIt's kind of funny that two of these shorts aren't of Cruise but of the actual pilot in front while Cruise rides shotgun.

The TV son of Maverick and LTJG Kaffee, Harm (JAG) Rabb has already reprised his part on NCIS:LA. He was the XO of an aircraft carrier. A USMC JAG show also just came and went away.
The problem today is that the dramatic part of an air war is one mission before the US air wing knocks out all opposition. Okay for a movie special mission but A Few Good lawyers would be needed to sustain a TV series
Harm and Mac showed up for the last season cliffhanger and season opener. And they ended teasing yet again will they or not.
The Code on CBS was the latest failed JAG show. Being Marines they saw the occasional Infantry fighting instead of air to air combat
The way NCIS played it was that Harm and Mac had a deal and Harm lost so he left the Navy to stay with Mac, they were engaged but then broke up and Harm was let back into Navy going back to aviation and they hadn't seen each other for 9 yearsHow can they still be doing a "will-they, won't they?" for Harm and Mac? I thought they got together at the end of the 10th season in 2005 when the series finished and they admitted their feelings for one another.

Jump to Captain Rabb being the XO of a carrier with terrorist cell aboard while Mac, stalled as a Lieutenant Colonel, is an adviser to the Secretary of State. As more of a spy and aide than a Marine and lawyer it seemed. At the end of the NCIS story maybe we can get back together with Hetty cheering a reunion on is where they left the story.
