I could have watched 2 more hours of this.

[benpatterson]

So the flight scenes in Top Gun, may not have been the most accurate, but the shirtless volleyball and group serenade scenes were 100% true to life, right?

[Arfwid]

This dude and Jocko should just sit and discuss movies

[quinnhen]

My dad, a Navy pilot, absolutely loved Top Gun. He didn't care if it was perfectly accurate, he loved it. Didn't like too many war or military movies.

[steviespaind]

"Everybody, including my mother, wanted to be a Navy fighter pilot" absolutely cracked me up :D

[JogieGlenMait]

I love that his audio is like the ones in military comms.

"We're on hour 2 of this surface to air missile..." this guy is not having it.

[КонстантинКареев-тп]

One of the best series on YT. Every time you learn so many new things.

[benmoore]

Yeah. I remember watching a special on Top Gun where they talked to the main advisor. He had a fight on his hands. "At this point, I'm just hoping they don't try to make it a musical" Poor Peter.

This is the second F-18 pilot I've heard tell the story of the completely fictional call signs in movies. Apparently if God himself became the most skilled and lethal aviator in history, his call sign would be would be something like "Snerf" because he sneezed and barfed at the same time once or something like that.


Pretty hilarious to get those inside details when the opportunity arises.

[jhonnymejia]

Ive been a certified fighter pilot since my days in battlefield 4

My uncle went through the Top Gun school during Vietnam. He became a Top Gun instructor sometime after that, in the early 70's. Commander Robert Griesser, call sign "Spider"

[sobaye]

"high-speed cheerleader" don't let your WSO hear that

[gage]

Fighter pilot: Negative 4g is impossible
War thunder pilots: 30, take it or leave it

[ziggy]

we need another one of these but with C.W. Lemoine

[Macro]

Hurricanes and Hellcats, unsung hero aircraft

[bufferover_flo]

I bet he pissed his pants and they named him "Wiz"

[kwicksand]

I almost lost it when he said the missile had been flying for almost a calendar year

[bplup]

"Negative four Gs your head would explode."


Well that explains the dive.
