Also a stunt pilot, Art Scholl, died while filming that scene because of that (different plane, but he couldn't eject). Later models of the F-14 did correct that issue. And all modern planes account for it as well. And for extra credit, The "bald guy" is the Commader of the USS Enterprise. And for more, the bad guys were supposed to be North Korean, hense the star. Wow I'm a nerd.
Fun fact about this movie, the navy had agreed to fire one missile, so the film crew has cameras on the. wings of the F-14, and there were planes near the F-14 as well to get as many angles of the missile firing. The differient camera angles also confused the navy enough to thretan to take Tony Scott to military court, but after some whitness accounts, it was deemed that only one missile was fired.

here is a random essay about the F-16 Viper, a multirole fighter aircraft developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force. The F-16 Viper is known for its agility, speed, and advanced capabilities, making it a highly effective aircraft in air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Overview of the F-16 Viper The F-16 Viper is a single-seat, single-engine aircraft that was first introduced in 1978. It was developed as a lightweight, high-performance fighter aircraft, capable of conducting air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Since its introduction, the F-16 has been used by numerous countries around the world, and it has been continuously upgraded with new technologies and capabilities. The F-16 Viper is powered by a General Electric F110-GE-129 turbofan engine, which gives it a top speed of over Mach 2. The aircraft has a range of approximately 2,000 miles and a service ceiling of 50,000 feet. The F-16 Viper is also known for its exceptional maneuverability, which is due in part to its lightweight design and advanced fly-by-wire control system. Design and Capabilities of the F-16 Viper The F-16 Viper's design and capabilities are a result of its advanced technology and engineering. The aircraft features advanced avionics, including a multi-function display (MFD) and a heads-up display (HUD), which provide the pilot with a detailed view of the surrounding airspace. The MFD and HUD also allow the pilot to control and monitor the aircraft's weapons systems and other key systems. The F-16 Viper is also equipped with a range of weapons systems. The aircraft has nine external hardpoints, which can hold a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, bombs, and rockets. The F-16 Viper can also carry a 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon, which is mounted internally and can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute. Another key feature of the F-16 Viper is its advanced electronic warfare capabilities. The aircraft is equipped with an AN/ALR-56M radar warning receiver, which can detect and locate enemy radar emissions. The F-16 Viper also has an AN/ALQ-131 electronic countermeasure system, which can jam enemy radar systems and disrupt their communications. Role of the F-16 Viper in Modern Air Combat The F-16 Viper has played a significant role in modern air combat since its introduction in 1978. The aircraft has been used in a variety of missions, including air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes, and reconnaissance. One of the F-16 Viper's most notable combat missions was during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The aircraft was used to conduct numerous air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, including suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) and close air support (CAS) missions. The F-16 Viper's agility and speed made it highly effective in these missions, and it played a significant role in the success of the operation. The F-16 Viper has also been used in a variety of training exercises and joint operations with other countries. The aircraft has been used to train pilots from numerous countries, and it has been used in joint operations with countries such as Israel and South Korea. In recent years, the F-16 Viper has been upgraded with new technologies and capabilities, including a new radar system and advanced electronic warfare systems. These upgrades have helped to keep the F-16 Viper a highly effective aircraft in modern air combat, and it is expected to continue to be used by numerous countries around the world for many years to come
1. That wire is technically there but in the shown footage Maverick doesn't has his hook extended out, to catch the wire. So that means, even if he wanted to land on the carrier, he'd just dump his plane in the sea because he's simply too fast. 2. The Canope whilst ejecting is suposed to fly away backwards. It has no propulsion, so it normally does that. But in this case the Jet isn't flying horizontly but instead is falling verticly down. Therefore the Canopy doesn't flew backwards as it is suposed to, but verticly up. In this position it blocked Goose in his way upwards, and therefore breaks his spine.
I keep scrolling comments looking for why Iceman wasn't the one in trouble cause he was flying like an ass and nobody has answered it yet 😭. I've always thought they both should've been at the trial, cause both were involved with the incident and were both potentially liable but of course the protagonist we're supposed to feel bad for is the one in trouble.
@@majortellandrus2552 Its' not Ice flying like an ass, it's a glaring technical flaw of the F-14A, which has underpowered and very sensitive Pratt and Whitney engines. The B (delivered the year after Topgun came out.) had General electric engines that had about double the dry thrust and like 25% more power in afterburner and wouldn't have flameouts as readily as Maverick's A model. Also, in the event of a flatspin, the pilot is supposed to jettison the canopy and allow three seconds for it to separate before initiating an ejection.
Actually, when landing on a ship, they go full throttle, that way if they fail to catch the wire or worse yet, the wire snaps, they have enough speed to take off again without nose diving into the sea
The canopy normally does get ejected away, but because of how flat spins work the canopy was shot straight up instead of getting ripped back by the air, allowing Goose to hit the canopy.
@@TheUnimaterLp According to the F-14 Tomcat Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) flight manual: “The aircraft is equipped with an automatic electronically sequenced command escape system incorporating two Navy aircrew common ejection seat (SJU-17(V) 3/A (pilot) and SJU-17(V) 4/A (RIO)) rocket-assisted ejection seats. “Both seats are identical in operation and differ only in nozzle direction of their lateral thrust motors, which provide a divergent ejection trajectory away from the aircraft path. “When either crewmember initiates the command escape system, the canopy is ballistically jettisoned and each crewmember is ejected in a preset-time sequence. The RIO is ejected to the left and the pilot to the right. “Safe escape is provided for most combinations of aircraft altitude, speed, attitude and flightpath within an envelope from zero airspeed, zero altitude in a substantially level attitude to a maximum speed of 600 KCAS.” Chesire continues; “Normally, within the ejection sequence, the canopy will automatically be blown off before the crews ejection seats fire. With forward airspeed, the canopy will always be well behind the aircraft when the RIO’s ejection seat fires. “However a flat spin provides a peculiar problem. Because there is no significant forward airspeed in the spin, the canopy is not blown behind the aircraft. Worse, there exists a partial vacuum just above a flat spin aircraft that can capture and hold a canopy in place above the aircraft. So when the RIO ejects, there is a strong chance he will impact the canopy hovering above. This has actually happened in real life. “To solve this problem, aircrews were advised to jettison the canopy early, and not wait for it in the ejection sequence. This would give a little more time for the canopy to move beyond the aircraft. There was a handle if pulled, would automatically jettison the canopy. This was totally separate from the seat ejection system.” Basically do your research before you pull out the “uhm akchtually” next time. Also learn how to spell construction lol
Hey High Boi. I served and worked on a flight deck of a carrier and what you saw was called a "Touch and Go". This is done by keeping the tail hook up so it won't catch a cable and pilots do these Touch and Go's in practice. So, yes, they can most definitely do that.
The f14 is considered one of the most capable fighters in the Navy. The f14 that Mav flew was the F14A, which was known to be exposed to compression stalls due to it's TF30 engine. The fan blades on this engine would break free when there was a change in airflow, causing these fighters to fall into flat spins. The reason why Goose ejected right into the canopy was because the canopy hovered over the fighter as the aircraft fell vertically.
Fun fact flying below the Hard deck is basically the same as flying into the ground so when he said he was under the harddeck for only a few seconds it only takes a fraction of a second to crash and burn 10/10
I always thought this and I never understood the movie here. It's a wargame, and to be safe they say "alright pretend the ground is at a thousand feet, that's the hard deck.' so then what does only being under the hard deck for a few seconds even mean? You bounced your jet against the ground and grinded the fuselage along the pavement for only a few seconds?
As a Pilot, im not gonna be Technical, idgaf about the Specifics, just the Aircraft Procedures. If the aircraft are Close Enough, the Radar Band will Identify as a Singular, Bigger Contact. This trick is used in Modern combat quite extensively. You called that one, spot on my dude. The Cables and Hooks arnt an Exact Science, it is possible to touch down a few feet too early and "Bounce" Your Tailhook over the Wires and not catch them. This is why you always see a plane landing on the Carrier Immediately go Full Throttle, in case he missed the Wires, its called a "Bolter" and the pilot must take off and try again. HOWEVER, in film he was Full Snag, Hook down, ON 3 wire and took off again. Not possible. You explained the Hard Deck to a T. Spot On. The Wingman isnt a Position really, its a Role. The Wingman is supposed to be Leads Extra Pair of Eyes, so while Lead is Engaging a Bandit, 2 can keep eyes on his Tail and make sure He wont get shot down, and if their is something presenting Danger to the Flight Lead, its the Wingmans Job to Kill It and keep the Flight Lead Safe. So, no, you cannot do that. Again, pretty good man. Im impressed. Gooses Death, while RARE, was an Issue on the F-14s. In this event, they fly through Dirty Air, and Compressor Stall the Engines, forcing them into a Flat Spin. They are Falling STRAIGHT down, no forward Travel at all. Upon Ejection, the Canopy, the Glass, Got stuck in the Wake Turbulence that the Body of the Aircraft Generated, its like a HUDE Low Pressure area on the Top side of the Jet, that Did Not allow the Canopy to Clear the Airstream before the Seat Rockets Fired. IRL, this process only takes Fractions of a Second. However, this exact thing HAS killed Real F-14 Rios before. (Rio if the guy in the Backseat, Pilot is Up Front.) So, when they get deployed, and Hollywood and Ice are on their Flight, Mav is on the Boat in what is called BARCAT. Hes Hooked up to the Catapult already, Engines On, Electrics Off. SHOULD another aircraft be needed, the BARCAT can be scrambled and AIRBORNE in Under 3 min. This is a Thing because you only have 4 points you can launch a Jet off of on a Carrier, and 2 of those CANNOT be used when Landing Aircraft. SO, instead of Having a Line of Planes across the Deck waiting to Take Off, they have one Ready to go and have 1 catapult Ready for Other Aircraft After the BARCAT. Its the Navy Equivalent of "Keeping One In The Chamber". Sorry for a Long Post, BUT, You Called that my man. Your Aircraft Trivia was 9 outta 10. You should Consider Aviation, my friend.
Ik its an unrealistic scene, but I think its a perfect example of the audience understanding something and letting it go for the sake of the scene, and it really worked.
@@maximummac223 I could very well be wrong, but i have 2 options on how this could've been realistic: Option 1: Just like the F-111, the Darkstar had an escape module which allowed the pilot to be ejected safely. Option 2: The air pressure at very high altitudes (Maverick was flying at 24 thousand meters (around 80k feet) is very low and he maybe could've survived (This might be completely wrong tho)
1:15 the F-14 that Mav and Goose were flying has twin vertical stabilisers and the bogey has 1 so they wouldnt collide as the 1 goes in between the 2 :))
According to director Tony Scott, the enemy in Top Gun is actually supposed to be North Korea, but they redacted those lines, to keep tensions between America and North Korea clean, during the Cold War
Mav could have throttled up just before touching down to overshoot the wires and go around. Flat spins are real, and the F-14 was known for them. (Especially with one engine, due to the large change in center of thrust. If you fly close enough together its theoretically possible to appear as one aircraft. At least with radar from the 1980s.
Not military but I thought standard procedure was to go full throttle on touchdown in case you need to go around again e.g. missed or broken wire. The wire is designed to stop you even on full throttle if you do hook it.
the top gear and top gun joke was literally accurate since I didn't know what top gun was and I thought it was top gear but for planes or just military stuff
1:41 GEEK TIME! Ok so @High Boi when a naval plane lands on a carrier like that they always throttle to full power in case the didnt catch the wire, and my guess is mav caught either the 1st or 4th cable, but even though the arresting cable is really fuckin strong, that can still happen
Older planes had worse ejection safety mechanics. Another fact, if in a plane with more than 4 people, there is a model that will eject each person on a timer so as to prevent them hitting each other. However this has caused individuals to die as they were crashing from a low altitude and didn’t have enough time to eject. I believe a similar thing happened near the naval air station I live by
So can we all agree that at this point High Boi does not pick random numbers for his ratings but rather uses his infinite IQ to come up with some crazy E=mc² level of math wizardry to end up with these numbers all in an effort to see if we have to capability to match his genius.
I don’t know why but I absolutely love this dude and all the shit he posts. It’s hilarious and I can just watch his entire channel and never get bored. Thanks for your content bro.
9:00 they might have only sent 1 plane because they thought that it might result in a beyond visual range fight, and not a dogfight. It still doesn’t make complete sense though.
About those cables, at least with the planes I worked with, you need to extend the hook to catch the cable for it to work. That's why they can use the same runway for both takeoff and landing despite the cable.
I don't understand how you are this funny. Like, you have such a unique sense of humor and perhaps this is cringy or whatever but genuinely, I am so happy to have found your channel.
1:56 I study military tech and the wire would catch the plane and prevent it from taking off again. If he didn’t have his hook down, he could take off again like that as long as there wasn’t a plane on the side catapults.
fun fact: my dad was in the place they were filming this, and they thought he was in the movie because he was wearing something the characters would wear. we were almost famous. :(
9:32 aktsually they were saving all the flares for the sequel. I am not sure the exact flare count on a F-18 or SU-57 but I am sure it is less than the number that was dumped in the movie for each missile.
1:48 WAR THUNDER GAMERS BE LIKE. Honestly the "release classified military information for the sake of accuracy" situation is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
This might be the best I've seen in a long time. Haven't laughed so much since the Reenacted with Bunnies Videos back in the days. Great job! Definitely subscribing this.
I guess I can be "that guy", for the record I'm not in the military I'm just a nerd.

2. When Couger turns his wings in. Yes they do that and are encourage to do so if they feel like they have lost their edge. The military want the best out there at their best.

The F-16 Viper is a single-seat, single-engine aircraft that was first introduced in 1978. It was developed as a lightweight, high-performance fighter aircraft, capable of conducting air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Since its introduction, the F-16 has been used by numerous countries around the world, and it has been continuously upgraded with new technologies and capabilities.
The F-16 Viper is powered by a General Electric F110-GE-129 turbofan engine, which gives it a top speed of over Mach 2. The aircraft has a range of approximately 2,000 miles and a service ceiling of 50,000 feet. The F-16 Viper is also known for its exceptional maneuverability, which is due in part to its lightweight design and advanced fly-by-wire control system.
Design and Capabilities of the F-16 Viper
The F-16 Viper's design and capabilities are a result of its advanced technology and engineering. The aircraft features advanced avionics, including a multi-function display (MFD) and a heads-up display (HUD), which provide the pilot with a detailed view of the surrounding airspace. The MFD and HUD also allow the pilot to control and monitor the aircraft's weapons systems and other key systems.
The F-16 Viper is also equipped with a range of weapons systems. The aircraft has nine external hardpoints, which can hold a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, bombs, and rockets. The F-16 Viper can also carry a 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon, which is mounted internally and can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute.
Another key feature of the F-16 Viper is its advanced electronic warfare capabilities. The aircraft is equipped with an AN/ALR-56M radar warning receiver, which can detect and locate enemy radar emissions. The F-16 Viper also has an AN/ALQ-131 electronic countermeasure system, which can jam enemy radar systems and disrupt their communications.
Role of the F-16 Viper in Modern Air Combat
The F-16 Viper has played a significant role in modern air combat since its introduction in 1978. The aircraft has been used in a variety of missions, including air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes, and reconnaissance.
One of the F-16 Viper's most notable combat missions was during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The aircraft was used to conduct numerous air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, including suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) and close air support (CAS) missions. The F-16 Viper's agility and speed made it highly effective in these missions, and it played a significant role in the success of the operation.
The F-16 Viper has also been used in a variety of training exercises and joint operations with other countries. The aircraft has been used to train pilots from numerous countries, and it has been used in joint operations with countries such as Israel and South Korea.
In recent years, the F-16 Viper has been upgraded with new technologies and capabilities, including a new radar system and advanced electronic warfare systems. These upgrades have helped to keep the F-16 Viper a highly effective aircraft in modern air combat, and it is expected to continue to be used by numerous countries around the world for many years to come
1:47 as a War Thunder player I immediately got that reference
I agree!
Attack the D point
That’s where they keep the sekrit documents
Agree
so true
I AGREE!
1. That wire is technically there but in the shown footage Maverick doesn't has his hook extended out, to catch the wire. So that means, even if he wanted to land on the carrier, he'd just dump his plane in the sea because he's simply too fast.
2. The Canope whilst ejecting is suposed to fly away backwards. It has no propulsion, so it normally does that. But in this case the Jet isn't flying horizontly but instead is falling verticly down. Therefore the Canopy doesn't flew backwards as it is suposed to, but verticly up. In this position it blocked Goose in his way upwards, and therefore breaks his spine.
I keep scrolling comments looking for why Iceman wasn't the one in trouble cause he was flying like an ass and nobody has answered it yet 😭. I've always thought they both should've been at the trial, cause both were involved with the incident and were both potentially liable but of course the protagonist we're supposed to feel bad for is the one in trouble.
@@majortellandrus2552 Its' not Ice flying like an ass, it's a glaring technical flaw of the F-14A, which has underpowered and very sensitive Pratt and Whitney engines. The B (delivered the year after Topgun came out.) had General electric engines that had about double the dry thrust and like 25% more power in afterburner and wouldn't have flameouts as readily as Maverick's A model. Also, in the event of a flatspin, the pilot is supposed to jettison the canopy and allow three seconds for it to separate before initiating an ejection.
🤓
@@mikethemaniac1 Ah thats why
Actually, when landing on a ship, they go full throttle, that way if they fail to catch the wire or worse yet, the wire snaps, they have enough speed to take off again without nose diving into the sea
The canopy normally does get ejected away, but because of how flat spins work the canopy was shot straight up instead of getting ripped back by the air, allowing Goose to hit the canopy.
Well actually :):
The f14 Tompcat had a construcktion faliure, that caused such an event in this special case.
@@TheUnimaterLp
According to the F-14 Tomcat Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) flight manual:
“The aircraft is equipped with an automatic electronically sequenced command escape system incorporating two Navy aircrew common ejection seat (SJU-17(V) 3/A (pilot) and SJU-17(V) 4/A (RIO)) rocket-assisted ejection seats.
“Both seats are identical in operation and differ only in nozzle direction of their lateral thrust motors, which provide a divergent ejection trajectory away from the aircraft path.
“When either crewmember initiates the command escape system, the canopy is ballistically jettisoned and each crewmember is ejected in a preset-time sequence. The RIO is ejected to the left and the pilot to the right.
“Safe escape is provided for most combinations of aircraft altitude, speed, attitude and flightpath within an envelope from zero airspeed, zero altitude in a substantially level attitude to a maximum speed of 600 KCAS.”
Chesire continues;
“Normally, within the ejection sequence, the canopy will automatically be blown off before the crews ejection seats fire. With forward airspeed, the canopy will always be well behind the aircraft when the RIO’s ejection seat fires.
“However a flat spin provides a peculiar problem. Because there is no significant forward airspeed in the spin, the canopy is not blown behind the aircraft. Worse, there exists a partial vacuum just above a flat spin aircraft that can capture and hold a canopy in place above the aircraft. So when the RIO ejects, there is a strong chance he will impact the canopy hovering above. This has actually happened in real life.
“To solve this problem, aircrews were advised to jettison the canopy early, and not wait for it in the ejection sequence. This would give a little more time for the canopy to move beyond the aircraft. There was a handle if pulled, would automatically jettison the canopy. This was totally separate from the seat ejection system.”
Basically do your research before you pull out the “uhm akchtually” next time. Also learn how to spell construction lol
Didn’t Ward Carroll say this scene was fake and just for dramatic effect?
@@Windows7era mfer I don't even know what my comment was about anymore this was more than a year ago
Hey High Boi. I served and worked on a flight deck of a carrier and what you saw was called a "Touch and Go". This is done by keeping the tail hook up so it won't catch a cable and pilots do these Touch and Go's in practice. So, yes, they can most definitely do that.
Source? 😈
@@architakumar2579 Who

I love the YEE sound effect he used for censoring
@@RadekCrazy1 it's og from a random meme on land Before time
The f14 is considered one of the most capable fighters in the Navy. The f14 that Mav flew was the F14A, which was known to be exposed to compression stalls due to it's TF30 engine. The fan blades on this engine would break free when there was a change in airflow, causing these fighters to fall into flat spins.
The reason why Goose ejected right into the canopy was because the canopy hovered over the fighter as the aircraft fell vertically.
we got that guy
Erm actually…
I’ve heard that certain pilots could recover their planes from an flat spin
@@salzwurst3026 i never said it was impossible, it is incredibly difficult for pilots to recover from them
Fun fact flying below the Hard deck is basically the same as flying into the ground so when he said he was under the harddeck for only a few seconds it only takes a fraction of a second to crash and burn 10/10
I always thought this and I never understood the movie here. It's a wargame, and to be safe they say "alright pretend the ground is at a thousand feet, that's the hard deck.' so then what does only being under the hard deck for a few seconds even mean? You bounced your jet against the ground and grinded the fuselage along the pavement for only a few seconds?
@@charlieb1575but they never adressed how jester decided to go below the hard deck
This is for the 40 y/o men who watched Maverick and loved it but never saw the original
That is not a man then. How could any man over 40 not have seen the original?
Retired men who were in the air force who now live on a farm near the Mojave desert
In all its homo-erotic glory.
Make that 14 yo
I had never watched it but decided to watch it before the sequel. The differences where stark.
This guy never fails to entertain us😂
I agree with this comment much more then my teacher agreeing that im dumb
this comment never fails to be unoriginal
bro ain’t even watch the video
🤖
9:37
You're right. F-5's (aka the "MiG-28") and F-14 had flares.
Man somehow gets all the best parts of the movie and spoil the end in under 10 seconds. What a legend
My face when The migs are actually F5s and all the jets never used flares :
yeo
yep*
Bro so true just so true…
Also when missle armed jets start fighting at extremely close ranges. In reality they would be kilometers apart.
As a Pilot, im not gonna be Technical, idgaf about the Specifics, just the Aircraft Procedures.
If the aircraft are Close Enough, the Radar Band will Identify as a Singular, Bigger Contact. This trick is used in Modern combat quite extensively. You called that one, spot on my dude.
The Cables and Hooks arnt an Exact Science, it is possible to touch down a few feet too early and "Bounce" Your Tailhook over the Wires and not catch them. This is why you always see a plane landing on the Carrier Immediately go Full Throttle, in case he missed the Wires, its called a "Bolter" and the pilot must take off and try again. HOWEVER, in film he was Full Snag, Hook down, ON 3 wire and took off again. Not possible.
You explained the Hard Deck to a T. Spot On.
The Wingman isnt a Position really, its a Role. The Wingman is supposed to be Leads Extra Pair of Eyes, so while Lead is Engaging a Bandit, 2 can keep eyes on his Tail and make sure He wont get shot down, and if their is something presenting Danger to the Flight Lead, its the Wingmans Job to Kill It and keep the Flight Lead Safe. So, no, you cannot do that. Again, pretty good man. Im impressed.
Gooses Death, while RARE, was an Issue on the F-14s. In this event, they fly through Dirty Air, and Compressor Stall the Engines, forcing them into a Flat Spin. They are Falling STRAIGHT down, no forward Travel at all. Upon Ejection, the Canopy, the Glass, Got stuck in the Wake Turbulence that the Body of the Aircraft Generated, its like a HUDE Low Pressure area on the Top side of the Jet, that Did Not allow the Canopy to Clear the Airstream before the Seat Rockets Fired. IRL, this process only takes Fractions of a Second. However, this exact thing HAS killed Real F-14 Rios before. (Rio if the guy in the Backseat, Pilot is Up Front.)
So, when they get deployed, and Hollywood and Ice are on their Flight, Mav is on the Boat in what is called BARCAT. Hes Hooked up to the Catapult already, Engines On, Electrics Off. SHOULD another aircraft be needed, the BARCAT can be scrambled and AIRBORNE in Under 3 min. This is a Thing because you only have 4 points you can launch a Jet off of on a Carrier, and 2 of those CANNOT be used when Landing Aircraft. SO, instead of Having a Line of Planes across the Deck waiting to Take Off, they have one Ready to go and have 1 catapult Ready for Other Aircraft After the BARCAT. Its the Navy Equivalent of "Keeping One In The Chamber".
Sorry for a Long Post, BUT, You Called that my man. Your Aircraft Trivia was 9 outta 10. You should Consider Aviation, my friend.
Yo this mans editing and commentary style is amazing love this and when i get paid i plan to purchase a patron
No way i got a heart from my literal favorite creator omg screenshot time
The fact that he doesn’t edit out the mistake he makes is golden
We later find out Maverick is a God pretending to be a pilot when he survives a Mach-10 breakup.
Proof?
TG: Maverick?
@@stevemc01 Yup.
Ik its an unrealistic scene, but I think its a perfect example of the audience understanding something and letting it go for the sake of the scene, and it really worked.
@@maximummac223 I could very well be wrong, but i have 2 options on how this could've been realistic:
Option 1: Just like the F-111, the Darkstar had an escape module which allowed the pilot to be ejected safely.
Option 2: The air pressure at very high altitudes (Maverick was flying at 24 thousand meters (around 80k feet) is very low and he maybe could've survived (This might be completely wrong tho)
1:35 I saw this on a tiktok but when pilots land and connect to a cable they go full throttle so they can take off again if they need to
2:54 the struggle is real. Thanks for that edit :)
My new mission in life is to wait until Pewdiepie uploads another video, and send "High Boi sends his congrats on the new baby".
*new RGB gaming baby
Yup, don't forget the RGB part
@@deadinside8781 Will do :)
Same!
Very nice high boi
1:15 the F-14 that Mav and Goose were flying has twin vertical stabilisers and the bogey has 1 so they wouldnt collide as the 1 goes in between the 2 :))
According to director Tony Scott, the enemy in Top Gun is actually supposed to be North Korea, but they redacted those lines, to keep tensions between America and North Korea clean, during the Cold War
"He throws goose's dog tags off the ship thinking he's in Titanic." - Good one.
Bruh I clicked on this because I thought it was gonna be Top Gear 😭
1:52 made me laugh so hard since there is someone like this
Mav could have throttled up just before touching down to overshoot the wires and go around.
Flat spins are real, and the F-14 was known for them. (Especially with one engine, due to the large change in center of thrust.
If you fly close enough together its theoretically possible to appear as one aircraft. At least with radar from the 1980s.
Not military but I thought standard procedure was to go full throttle on touchdown in case you need to go around again e.g. missed or broken wire. The wire is designed to stop you even on full throttle if you do hook it.
he pulls up his tailhook at last second
And the "Migs" are not Migs they are F-5C's/F-5E's
8:52
reason they can send anyone out for ten minutes or more is because they have to retract the catapult and also the line up a plane perfectly
Iceman: You're gonna get people killed for your dangerous moves, Mav.
Iceman soon after: *Gets Goose killed because he was being dangerous.*
Great as always,
Just perfect humor xD

GEEK TIME!
Ok so @High Boi when a naval plane lands on a carrier like that they always throttle to full power in case the didnt catch the wire, and my guess is mav caught either the 1st or 4th cable, but even though the arresting cable is really fuckin strong, that can still happen
The top gear references and "fight me" made me rupture my intestine laughing lol
Gave me trauma from when my mate made me go on eyeblech
9:37 yes, the jets did have flares but in this close of a range flares wouldn't do a lot + the reaction timing would be very slow

7:13 I ain’t a army nerd but I do know that the canopy is supposed to pop off like 3 seconds before your chair launches
Not really, canopies are retarded
Older planes had worse ejection safety mechanics. Another fact, if in a plane with more than 4 people, there is a model that will eject each person on a timer so as to prevent them hitting each other. However this has caused individuals to die as they were crashing from a low altitude and didn’t have enough time to eject. I believe a similar thing happened near the naval air station I live by
I love that the movie starts with a wall of text with a grammar error in it. Some idiot doesn't know the difference between "insure" and "ensure."
This is the best movie recap so far. Love seeing you expand a bit on your video formula and adding more jokes
For the viewers at home, High Boi made passionate love to Goose in an airplane, and the cable is 23 meters away unless it isn't.
They missed their hands at 6:07😂
So can we all agree that at this point High Boi does not pick random numbers for his ratings but rather uses his infinite IQ to come up with some crazy E=mc² level of math wizardry to end up with these numbers all in an effort to see if we have to capability to match his genius.

I had a shitty day, luckily there's a video of the Highest Boi ever to make me happi once again
9:00 they might have only sent 1 plane because they thought that it might result in a beyond visual range fight, and not a dogfight. It still doesn’t make complete sense though.
That Top Gear opening was so good, I missed those 3 high brit bois
About those cables, at least with the planes I worked with, you need to extend the hook to catch the cable for it to work. That's why they can use the same runway for both takeoff and landing despite the cable.
Do you have any classified documents? Perchance
I would just like to point out how much I would love to see High Boi explain the Back To The Future trilogy.
High Boi is the only man on Earth who can make huge criticisms and still think its a good movie.
0:27 the plane is a f5
I don't understand how you are this funny. Like, you have such a unique sense of humor and perhaps this is cringy or whatever but genuinely, I am so happy to have found your channel.
The thing is I love this is because my name is Maverick and it's especially you just saying my Name is just really cool to me
1:56 I study military tech and the wire would catch the plane and prevent it from taking off again. If he didn’t have his hook down, he could take off again like that as long as there wasn’t a plane on the side catapults.
Why didn't he have his hook down if he's planning to land? Are you supposed to put them down only right before attachment or something?
Probably ghost perk from cod 0:45
I kind of wanted you to explain the entire video like a top gear episode.

9:27 The reason there's so much reciclying is because the navy didn't allow them to shoot more than 2 missiles
In fact a fake explosion looked so real the Navy opened an investigation on it
9:43 Flares wouldn't be effective cuz they are radar locking their missiles and not locking with heat
Not only is it radar, but it’s 1986 military radar so good luck ever understanding it
9:32 aktsually they were saving all the flares for the sequel. I am not sure the exact flare count on a F-18 or SU-57 but I am sure it is less than the number that was dumped in the movie for each missile.
