This is by far the best Top Gun: Maverick analysis type video. A fast jet pilot talking about what he loves and pointing out the good things, while making good comments of possible differences between the movie and reality, but all done in a way that is engaging, and not patronizingly negative like most others from pilots or viewers. Love it!

little side note on the mach 10 scene: it's no surprise you can't survive something like that by using an ejection seat, however during the x-15 program the scientists proposed a sort of "ejection capsule" for the craft, so probably in this scene Maverick gets saved by an ejection capsule in the SR-72 Darkstar, I still doubt it would be survivable but using an ejection capsule instead of a seat is way more plausible

In the canyon with the Su behind him, Mav chucked out a bunch of flares. That might have been a winning technique if he timed it right before a narrow or twisty part of that canyon.

Harrier pilots are a special breed! Re. the survivability of a disintegration at Mach 10 - well, the rest of the film could be viewed as his dying lucid dream - explains all the call backs, his heroic role and the reprise of the F14. Too dark for mainstream viewers but a nice theory.

I have been onboard a corvette (main deck) in and out of a training session, he is absolutely right, there is no talking apart from commands and brief information. In the beginning it was fun, new, in the end it was a bore feast. I understand why movies need to have some drama.

If you want more of Paul Tremelling, he's done a cool interview with Jell-O Aiello from the Fighter Pilot Podcast where he uses his experience as a fighter pilot to compare flying STOVL (short take off and vertical landing) Harriers for the Royal Navy and CATOBAR (catapult launch and wire-arrested landings) on the Super Hornet during his US Navy exchange.

The scene is a tribute to Chuck Yeager who defied orders and broke the speed barrier. Any pilot, race car driver, or astronaut will tell you they inspired by him.

I think the funniest thing about this film is the way the pilots react and talk in the film. As someone who works with pilots on a regular basis and many ex military pilots. They are calm to the point of death. And these guys in the film are freaking out just lining up lasers. Their focus must be so calculated that during all these maneuvers they are focusing on breath and muscle tensions and all these other things on top of their equipment and mission. If they were so nervous just shouting at each other with every order they wouldn’t be able to regulate their high G turns without passing out and therefore die. Good luck to any hot blooded pilot because lack of control of your blood pressure while taking high G means loss of consciousness. (Yes I understand that is a simplification of a complex biological system and the interaction with pilots)

Great analysis. Managed to keep a straight face thru some of the more "off the wall" scenes. As a 29 year Marine Aviator I enjoyed watching the movie knowing parts of it have been somewhat embellished Love the fact that they used real airplanes as much as they did.👍

I thank him for not being a hot shot as seen is so many other break down videos. On the contrary, you actually pointed out that most things shown are plausible. In the end, it's Hollywood. Which the I-know-better-and-need-to-tell-everyone-about-it, tend to often forget. And let's not forget that some military stuff are most likely not even allowed to put in a movie, for obvious reasons I assume.

🏆🏆 I absolutely respect the hell out of the people that have really done this shit.

To be completely fair to Rooster, his dad flew in that plane and until he pulled his papers, Maverick was one of his heroes so it’s entirely possible he knows the layout.

I'm not a pilot (though I once wanted to be one). I've only just seen this movie, maybe a week ago, and I've watched a lot of pilot reactions so far, and this one is probably the best one I've watched. I like the use of "plausible" here because it bridges that gap of while a scene might not be realistic, the goal makes some sense ...maybe. It's very interesting from these videos to see the difference in experiences between each fighter reactor though. I've watched reactors who dismiss certain scenes like "You'll never do that!" "Impossible!" "Hah! Why is he doing that" or "No way a gen 5 will have issue locking on in that terrain" (but in this video, Paul says "hot rocks" which told me all I needed to know about why it may be plausible)... then I see an older fellow who was clearly like a Maverick in his time getting all giddy about the same scene like "Oh that one brings back memories!" "haha I remember doing that maneuver! Don't do it" Anyway, it's all interesting. Some poeple are very very by the book, some are just young to not have had to think of doing anything crazy, then you have the wild old timer who'd tell you "HELL YEAH IT'S ALL POSSIBLE BABY! I DID THAT TO SOME RUSSIANS 15 YEARS AGO"

The whole movie is an aviation wet dream. Well done movie production company

I'm pretty sure the "wtf" maneuver the not-su57 did is a reference to a piece from Sergey Bogdan's su-35s airshow set

He's not a knight, and sir Sean Connery, who is, is from a totally different country (Scotland) with a dramatically different accent.

So ejecting during Mach 10 is survivable? Even with thin air, I would assume it's like hitting a wall. In addition the stresses on the suddenly rotating/spinning body after being ejected would be too much. Except this super advanced jet has a detachable cockpit, so after ejecting, the entire cockpit is still somewhat aerodynamic and slowing down in a controlled way.
