It’s pretty wild to consider that some of the people who were inspired by the first film to join up have now been promoted to positions in the last 35 years that puts them in charge of making decisions when the long awaited Top Gun sequel finally becomes a reality. After thirty years, Maverick is still pushing the envelope as a top naval aviator, but must confront ghosts of his past when he leads TOP GUNs elite graduates on a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those chosen to fly it. It’s an often repeated story that Navy recruitment went through the roof following the release of the original film, even though apparently Navy pilots can be a little overzealous in their love for Top Gun. They supported us and let us do all this crazy stuff.

Kosinski says…Īll the admirals that are in charge right now were 21 in 1986, or around there when they signed up. Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski explained to Times that it ultimately came down to the fact that the people making decisions at the Navy were a bunch of Top Gun fanboys. It makes one wonder just how the film was able to get away with doing things that would never been allowed during normal training.

So flying so close to the ground is something most pilots don’t have a lot of experience doing, and the margin for error is very slim, making the possibility for accidents only greater.
