This was probably the best scene in the movie in my opinion. It really captured Mavericks spirit and skill together. The fighting scenes at the end really made the movie obviously, but this scene really fleshed out the character and drama.
For all the comments saying Maverick did this to show he is the best, yes he's always gonna show off his pilot skills, but the main reason he did it was to prevent any of these kids from dying on the mission. With a 4 minute timer, the enemy response time would've for sure gotten a couple of the pilots killed, but the other superiors didn't care as long as the mission was completed. He had to prove the mission was doable within the original time limit so he could lead them on pace and save them.
Funny how people say "He wanted to prove he was the best" implying they have watched the film, when in the film he states prior to this scene they have to do it in that time else the pilots would get shot down to which the commander shrugged off. It's obvious that he did this to basically go over the head of the commander, proving the commander wrong. Doing it in 02:15 instead of 02:30 is the part which he is showing off, but to prove to the pilots that not only can it be done, it can actually be done quicker, giving them more confidence.

He gave them a goal and then proved it was doable. And they are very competitive which means if one person can do it, all of them will believe they can do it. He fixed the problem and also saved their lives in the process.
Captain Pete Mitchell and Yoda are probably the two most inspirational leaders in cinema history --- they didn't just preach, they DID stuff to show how leadership is supposed to look
I think it was more proving a point that it was possible. If he left it at 2:30 then it would look barely doable, this held him to a higher standard to begin with making his claim more credible

I just couldn’t resist shouting out “….use the Force, Luke…” at the appropriate moment - it’s so obviously lifted straight from Star Wars. The whole cinema laughed. 😂
The fighter scenes in Star Wars were modeled after Naval pilot tactics...so, technically, this is modeled after Naval pilot tactics, just like Star Wars.
The scene in star wars was inspired by Dam Busters, a film about British bomber piolts in WWII. There was a similar film about US pilots attacking bridges in Korea but I don't remember the name of it.
What makes part of this realistic is that there's always people in the service who are the best or really good in their field. However, there's those with rank that would rather be petty than encourage. Too bad their ego gets in the way of seeing the big picture, team concept, and we're on the same damn team.

You kind of have to to be able to initiate any turn at that speed. It’s like decelerating your manual cars gears to then throw it into a higher gear to get more speed.
@@cadentorquato4775It is not true, airplanes do not have to brake before turning, they simply have an optimal speed to turn but this is not important because he is not braking, he simply pushes the lever and in the next scene the lever is magically down again just so that he can push it again
Pete Mitchell never wanted the responsibilities of teaching. He just wanted his natural skills to be acknowledged and appreciated. Sometimes you gotta break the rules to get that acknowledgement.

However, if this were a real-life mission, a pair of GBU-57's dropped from a B-2 would have been more cost effective and left less of a 'fingerprint' on the scene. Just my opinion, of course.

The 4 minute window adjustment was the flight chief resigning to the fact that a few, if not all, would not make it back, but atleast the mission would be complete.
I don’t care that this is essentially the trench run from Star Wars: this film is one of the best ever made. Its tribute to aviation and our fine Navy men and women is incredible. The original, as iconic and beloved as it is, looks silly by comparison. Tom Cruise is an American hero despite his weird religion, and I think Edge of Tomorrow might just be a documentary; I would trust this man with an actual F18 defending our country.
This scene right here is why people loved this movie. This is the most American thing we have seen in a movie in a while. We pride ourselves on taking bold risks when others won’t.

The point wasn't approve you as the best. The point was to prove it could be done in a time that didn't get the other pilots killed.
