Hi all! Im a big fan of all the fancy cockpit equipment they show in Top Gun movies. I wanted something similar on my wrist and phone so I can pretend to be one them 👽 I hope the community won’t mind me sharing this app

In Top Gun Maverick, the flight of 4 were making radio calls as they were evading SAMs and then egressing. If there was a 5th gen fighter around their egress, surely their radio calls would give them away.
In the F-14, Maverick and Rooster get their electronics working and then encounter another 5th gen fighter and at the last possible moment are saved by Hangman out of nowhere.
Was radio silence essential pre-attack by Hangman to Maverick and Rooster or was he just being dramatic? I mean why no call like “Hangman is supersonic. I'll be there in thirty seconds…”
Seems a bit inconsistent to me.

When pilots eject over the ocean in training, does the Navy fish the plane from the ocean or does it just get left on the bottom?
Art Scholl, morto a 53 anni nell'oceano pacifico.
morto durante le riprese di top Gun, il suo aereo con telecamera Pitts S-2 non è riuscito a riprendersi da una rotazione ed è precipitato nell'Oceano Pacifico.
Le sue ultime parole furono "ho un problema... ho un vero problema", non vennero mai ritrovati corpo e velivolo, la dedica a fine film è dedicata a lui.
