What a great video. Why does it make me think of "Top Gun" the movie so much? Is it the rocking music? Or the sleek lines of the famous Northdrop F-5E?

[During Hop 19, a different voice breaks in]
Viper: Good morning, gentlemen, the temperature is 110 degrees.
Wolfman: Holy shit, it's Viper!
Goose: Viper's up here, great...oh shit...
Maverick: Great, he's probably saying, "Holy shit, it's Maverick and Goose."
Goose: Yeah, I'm sure he's saying that.

Now all we need is to get the incoming F-14 module and we can remake TopGun with Modern-day CGI, curtesy of Eagle Dynamics.

Reminds me of Top Gun too Frankie.

The fictitious "MiG-28"

The aggressor aircraft flown by "Viper" and "Jester" were A4 Skyhawks, another beautiful plane!

I think we all could do with a laugh or two now. Presenting...TopGun as it should have been if Paramount hadn't financed it.

You have to hand it to them. So creative! Looks like they had fun making the movie.
