When I first saw Top Gun in 2011 when I was only 5, on TV, I was completely hooked. I decided the moment the movie ended, that it was my favorite. Ever since, I've been completely attached to it, and it still has a special place in my heart. Now, 11 years later, I have seen the sequel, and it was the best experience of my life.

The truth of the matter is that, in addition to putting all of our faith in guided air-to -air missiles, we also had really awful rules of engagement that negated our advantages. An F-4 pilot commented that if he were to fly for the North Vietnamese he with his level of skill that he could have been an ace many times over based on how the US military was forced to conduct combat operations, especially under the Johnson Administration.

I just saw Top Gun Maverick a few days ago. It was awesome. My dad saw the original when it first came out in 86. He was in boot camp in the Navy and they watched it there on a projector screen.

I heard somewhere that the reason the air force doesn’t do a topgun equivalent, is because it was the navy’s airmen didn’t want to be overly reliant on their long range weaponry and wanted to hone their fighting skills at close range, a sentiment not shared by the air force Also that story at the end might be partly false, while duke Cunningham did in fact kill a mig that day, there are no NVA records of there ever being a pilot named “colonel tun”,

In 1996, the school was merged into the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada.

I love watching your videos simple history it’s so interesting to watch

I watched this movie on IMAX and my Mom encouraged me to after the release of Top Gun: Maverick in AMC Theaters.

Simple History really improved their animation skill for this video, nice work! 👍

I've seen Tom Cruise in real life before. He's always at the LA Fleet Week event the past few years

I'm so glad they did this! Top Gun is now in Cinemas!!

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!!!!!!

Hey Simple History, I would like to see a video about the Tuskegee Airmen. I’m interested in seeing what they had to go through before they became heroes.

Love the music in this video! Keep it up guys, your videos are amazing.

It feels like Navy Pilots do more things than the actual AIRFORCE Branch

That was pretty cool and informative, thank you for your hard work.

Fun to do a video about this since top gun maverick is out

Just watched Top Gun with my friends at the theater, what a movie, just awesome Glad it keep up with the first one

Narrator: Purely history of the real-life program, no mention of the movie. Animator: Put in as many references to the movie as possible.

Some incorrect things about the early Top Gun in the 1960s. The first Navy adversary aircraft used at Top Gun were F-8 Crusaders based at Miramar, NOT A-4 Skyhawks and T-38s. The Navy Adversary A-4s were specially upgraded A-4Es, A-4Fs, and TA-4Js. The Es and Fs had more powerful engines than the standard combat A-4Cs, Es, and Fs used in Vietnam. They did not show up at Top Gun until the mid-1970s, as did the T-38s. The T-38s were eventually replaced by F-5E Tigers by the early 1980s. The reason why the F-8s were used, was first Crusader squadrons still trained in aerial gunnery and dogfighting in the 1960s, where as most of the US military practiced bomber interception. Second, F-8s were the 2nd most numerous fighter aircraft at NAS Miramar, as by the late 1960s, almost all the remaining Crusader squadrons were based there.

The F-8s were not assigned to NFWS, but borrowed from the F-8 RAG (124) or VFP 63... NFWS received T-38s later in 69 and the first Scooters (A-4E's) were assigned to NFWS in 72...The F-5s came in 74 and by 76 the Foxes (A-4F/TA-4F) had arrived ... when I was at Miramar (85-88) NFWS had A-4Fs, F-5E/Fs and F-16Ns.

The ariel dogfight will never be obsolete. Top Gun will always be need to teach Navy and Marine fighter pilots ACM: Air-Combat-Maneuvering.

US Air Force is still ready to die on the Beyond Visual Range Combat hills though. So do French and German Air Force, but they can be forgiven since their air corps ceased to existed by 1946 and had no institutional knowledge left to speak of. Even Japan managed to kept some around when MacArthur rearmed the country for Korean War.

BVR is ever increasing in popularity though and eventually pilotless vehicles will be the norm.

Love the iceman compleat with frosted tips in the end scene.

my brithday was 2 days ago and i love your channel

Awesome video, would you guys mind going over the USAF Weapons School as well?

It didn't help that the F4 Phantom didn't have a gun. It was believed that dogfighting was a thing of the past with nuclear weapons and nuclear bombers filling the skies. High speed interceptors, like the F4, would be what we needed.

The U.S. Navy F4 didn't use a cannon however the Airforce did upgrade their F4s to fit the M61 Vulcan.

11:49 - Duke basically hit the brakes...I wonder if this was the inspiration for Top Gun's Maverick signature move of "I'll hit the brakes and he'll fly right by us!"

The jocko podcast just had a marine top gun senior instructor on the other day & it was a great listen. Highly recommend.

Haha I just saw the movie Top Gun Maverick a week ago The movie will never die LONG LIVE TOP GUN AND TOP GUN MAVERICK Plus the music at the end should’ve been Top Gun Anthem

Good video, but you forgot about a huge array of factors that increased the capabilities of F-4 phantoms and changed the situation in the air. You state that training 1% of pilots increases the KDR of whole navy air group up to 13 from barely 2. Not the new APG-59 Pulse-Doppler radar that could see and track aircraft next to the ground (basically main problem of BVR at those times), not the new AIM-9G which had capability to handle twice the overload compared to early 9bs. Not the friend-or-foe systems that made it possible to recognize friendly aircraft and do the job that F-4 was designed to do - large missile carrier. Not a Combat Tree system that exploited a bug in MIG-21's IFF. Not the loss of the air superiority due to the successful counter-sam measures (read about wild weasels) and AGM-45 Shrike. Not because of the Operation Bolo after which Vietnamese migs we're grounded for 4 month. It was top gun 100%.

4:26 I love how he used the helmet maverick used in the 1986 film TopGun

Thank you for video sir

Should've played Danger zone

the F4 cpckpit looks like the war thunder cockpit for the F4

Going to watch the new one today!

6:48 Love that reference makes me wonder now if theres anymore besides the timestamp, the thumbnail, and the outro

2:48 is the landing sequence from the NES game

I can't watch this without playing the remastered Top Gun anthem.

I look forward to one day uploading a video explaining about the Chavin de Huantar operation, one of the best rescue operations in history

Picture of Tom Cruise as Pete Mitchell AKA Maverick
