BlackLion213 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Here is another fun watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZSK12MXuzQ Behind the scenes footage from Top Gun, interesting info, fun to watch, and lots of extra footage. Many of the Tomcats are from VF-51, such as this screenshot from the filming of the tower fly-by: Nice footage of those classic, weathered TPS Tomcats. In some ways, the behind the scenes is better than the movie itself. ;) -Nick Edited October 18, 2015 by BlackLion213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLion213 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Found one last (for today :)), interesting tidbit from these Top Gun behind the scene videos. It turns out that Tony Scott was selected for the role of director partly because he had a little bit of experience filming aircraft. Several years before, he filmed a commercial for Saab...featuring the Viggen: I know that there is no confirmation of a Viggen module. But if it happens, it is an amusing coincidence with the planned Tomcat module. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
