This movie got the Chinese military so nervous they actually relocated a photo reconnaissance satellite over the area where the Darkstar full size mock-up was parked during the filming of top gun Maverick., because they thought it was real... It looked that good
While a cool story, I doubt that its true. Satellites aren't like drones or aircraft that you can just maneauvre around, they fly in orbit around the Earth, and it takes a considerable amount of fuel to change that orbit. It's a lot cheaper and simpler to just send a guy out in the field.
@@daveberndt3197 I'm well aware. That doesnt change my point though. You cant just move a geostationary satellite around wherever you want, they have pre-determined geostationary orbital slots. Besides, like I already said, it takes a lot of fuel to change an orbit.
Jim Powell speaking. Fellas, I really enjoyed your conversation. I was attached to VF-154 during the Vietnam war. Did two cruises in the South China Sea. Very familiar with the flight deck scenes. From the time I was in til present day, those operations seem very much the same. Watching our F4 phantoms leave the flight deck bearing the weapons of war was exhilarating. Always very happy when all the pilots returned. I have the utmost respect for both of you and for any aviator who flies off the deck of an aircraft carrier. Go Navy!!!
Always remember that China Donnie was slinking around NYC with his "bone spurs" while you guys were over in the 'Nam fighting the Commies --- think about that carefully when you vote for President
Wow at last a conversation that isnt just a lets say how rubbish the whole thing is . Very refreshing and much more intersting to watch, Thank you guys, Great video
these real pilots are fully aware that its a movie. they are just sharing their experiences of "reality" vs "movie", nothing more. they know its a movie, and thats its dramatised.. he even says it in this video
From Wiki: The aircraft under development is planned to fly at Mach 5 with a range of 4,600 miles (7,400 km). The company claims to have designed, built, and successfully tested a Mach 5 engine prototype in the span of 9 months. In August 2020, Hermeus received a $1.5 million contract from the United States Air Force to develop their proposed aircraft to enter and serve the American presidential fleet in the future and function as a possible Air Force One.
Just FYI, there's a company in Brisbane, Australia that is actually in the process of creating a hypersonic mach 10 plane that is capable of not only flying in-atmosphere but also to space. They've already got an prototype so technically speaking, mach 10 hypersonic planes do sort of exist but it's very bleeding edge technology. I'm kinda surprised these guys didn't know that already.
Honestly, I think REAL callsigns are better than Top Gun call signs. Calling someone with the last name Fields "Sally" is just right. Reminds me of me and my army buddies in Greece. We may not have been pilots, but we got our names based on something semi embarrassing or fitting of our names, not something "Cool". We had one friend's last name was "Venturie" so we called Ace. My other mate was Zappatidis, who moonlight as a DJ, so we called him "Zapp" or "DJ Zapp" Mine, was given as a joke cause my last name is a type of bird and I was a cook, so Ace who was a bit of a Peter Sellers fan would call me "Birdy Num Num" or just "Birdy". I miss those guys.
From the perspective of a Marine grunt deployed with amphibious HST cert., the pedigree of the Marines as a component of the Navy is fully manifest on a flight deck, whether that's on a helo lander or a big boat. It's the seamless integration of the Marine plane captains into the deck activity with there utility bottoms and bloused combat boots operating alongside the tan and blues, and Marine helmet covered head gear. The deck ops openings are my favorite where I get the biggest rush. Especially considering the noise and frenetic conditions they need to work under 24/7
If you are planning to talk to Skunk Works, they will not divulge anything on what and where the DOD aircraft technology is currently. What Aviation Week reported a couple of years ago, the USAF is flying developmental aircraft that are already 20-30 years down the road. I am just amazed this was a GREAT MOVIE.
Most engineers working on black projects never learn what they were up to. Black projects are black for a reason, test pilots would only know the aircraft they flew, nothing more.
Not much there. When he says Rxxxx (blue border with blue tick marks) he is talking about Restricted Airspace which are defined on sectional charts. Restricted are military hot always and no civilians are allowed in unless you are under an instrument flight plan and get a specific clearance to do so...MOAs are often cold and civilian VFR flights can fly into and out of them routinely even without permission.
There are some Restricted areas that go "cold" or "closed" and can be flown through by anyone. To check the status of a Restricted area, check the side legend of the Sectional chart for the altitude of the Restricted area, the Time of Use, the controlling agency, and sometimes it includes a frequency. Usually the controlling agency the Center in that area. Example: On the Albuquerque sectional, Restricted area R-5105 is from the surface up to 10,000ft, in use or "hot" 0800-2400 local time, and Albuquerque Center is the controlling agency.
@@GiovanniV69 Sure checking the legend is alwasy a good idea. But the general rule is ALWAYS ASSUME A RESTRICTED AREA IS HOT. If you want to go thru the hassle of contacting the authority just to be told no, fine...but its a waste of time.
Thanks for sharing these insights with us regular folks. Anything related to thr military aviation breakthroughs is always keep from the public. This movie open the doors a little and gives us a chance to see how this world operates and what is the new boundaries in flight technology. The thing about the space shuttle and the routes you run are fascinating .
Space shuttle does 17,500mph in complete vacuum there is zero air resistance. In Earth atmosphere air behaves differently when going from Supersonic to hypersonic, that's why it's difficult to achieve those speeds. There is a reason why no one has ever touched Mach 10.
I love watching there interviews, but you know that they cant tell you everything. They dont know if somebody has been Mach 10 yet ? 😅 SR - 71 flew 3,529.56 km/h in 1976. Pilots and engineers of SR- 71 said that it was not fastest or the highest top secret project at the time. And SR - 71 was black project. What most of the people call " Aurora" plane was developed in 70s - 80s. It flew mach 7,453 (9130 km/h) in 1986. So with technology and materials that are available now in 2022, I have no doubt there are planes that can do mach 13+ maybe even more. Not mentioning actual black projects that are not using conventional pulsing engines.
Aurora was never proven to exist and only very circumstantial evidence exists to this day --- the sonic booms recorded in 1991 estimated some kind of aircraft was flying at Mach 5.2, which is only 4000 MPH and not 7453 like you falsely claimed
@@fredwerza3478 You are right mate. Aurora was not yet officialy proven. But tell me -which black project was proven to exist before actual disclosure ? (I mean american ones, not that russian secret mig 25 landing in Japan). And by 1991 sonic booms I assume Sonic booms over California. They are not that dumb to do black project flights over civilian areas.(altrought they did in 1952, but that is different story). In my coment i sayd "mach 7,453 (9130 km/h) " Mach DOES NOT mean MPH. Mach means - the ratio of the speed of a body to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium. So mach 7,453 is 5673.119 MPH.
The X-15 flew at Mach 6.7 (4520 MPH) way back in 1967 - still the official world record! SR-71 holds a different record at 2,193.2 MPH. Space Shuttle Columbia - 17,500 MPH.
Fighter Weapons School is no longer at Miramar. Neither is it at North Island, nor anywhere near San Diego. Maverick is STILL a great, non-woke movie that is crushing it at the box office.
It is in NAS Lemoore. Miramar is where I was stationed in the mid to late 60’s. Miramar was known as Fighter Town USA, until 1969 when Top gun was started.
Mach 10+ -> SPACE SHUTTLE. When I saw 'Top Gun: Maverick', I said to myself... "That jet would melt at that speed without heat tiles!" (I am an Eaglekeeper from Kadena AFB, Okinawa, and I've watched Habu launch and proceed to mach 3.5. They got DAMNED hot. It was top secret, but we all hung together and could figure things out.)
They can keep it cool by going into thinner atmosphere. Going up and down would be slower. Turning is going to be the main problem for two reasons. One is the thinner atmosphere makes it hard to drag one side. The second problem is the aircraft is flying so fast that a tight U-Turn would require a 100 mile or more grid. Mach 10 is 2.06 miles per second. This was seen with the Russian SAMs against the SR-71. The SAMs were faster, but because of the small fins, they couldn't turn in the thin atmosphere and would just fly straight up.
I wanted to see them cringe at Maverick taking the Darkstar through a turn while trying to hit Mach 10. Common sense that you wouldn't try to do even a turn when going for an insane speed record.
@@darkphoenix2 actually you can hold your breath for 2 minuts on average and trained divers can go for 10 minutes. HYPERSONIC missles are very maneuverable they just cant turn as sharp as missles that travel at slower speeds.
@@RANDO4743 Alright bro, you're kind of missing every point. Yes, you can hold your breath underwater and yes, things can turn even at high speeds. But I said that you shouldn't turn at those high speeds, especially when going for a speed record, because it would not only slow you down but put more stress on the airframe. Just as you shouldn't open your mouth and try to breathe H2O. You can't do it for very long without consequences.
@@darkphoenix2 you are missing the point dude whoever told you turning is dangerous at hypersonic speeds lied to you lol. Of course you can over g an aircraft, even subsonic speeds can put stress on the plane,but turning IN GENERAL is not automatically dangerous just because you're going fast.
You don't need an expert to tell you that a Mach 10 break up is lethal no matter what. Even if you could eject or get thrown out of it (which happened to a Blackbird crew member) you would be a squishy human flying through the air at a speed that causes plasma to build up around an aircraft. You'd be incinerated.
@@coolcat6303 There is a case of a F 14 pilot and RIO surviving a mach 1 ejection and surviving. They were very lucky. Mach 10? No way. th-cam.com/video/C02TVI_TH6Q/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DarkFootage
Not true on the ego part. The best of the best are destined to have ego. They BECOME humble ones they get in through in the inside. All the rest. Yeah.. cool.
So, I saw the thumbnail and thought “why the hell are they dressed like ghostbusters for a maverick review?” Then I read the title and felt stupid lmao
No one's gone Mach 10 yet? What is he talking about? As far back as 12th April 1961 Yuri Gagarin reached Mach 32/33 (25,000 mph) to leave earth's atmosphere. I've watched video after video of astronauts achieving these speeds while still in earth's atmosphere, without a hint of stress. If the space missions are true, Mach 10 would be a doddle.
Given the extensive cooperation of the DoD with the production team,odds are that that they did indeed interview actual fighter and test pilots. Still wouldn't stop them from taking liberties in the film.
Flying is not for everybody. However good pilots are IRREPLACEABLE. It's a unique talent. The practitioner comes with the wings included or not. It's literally a monastic life where testing happens every day like praying the Lord while he tests our faith every day. One thing is for sure. Those who fly for our freedom are people who believes in freedom and fly risking their lives for us. Those people, I can't thank the m enough for their God given gift and nerves of steel. They consume their lives in a cockpit for us to enjoy free speech, a honest job and a small humble house for our living. It's not about any type of movie or movies where reality is just diverted for the sake of real national security. It's about people who gave their lives entirely to commitment. Those are the ones that holds nations together. The army gave us a lot. We should at least have respect and the decency recognizing their work and duty.
Only 23 years and you look like hell. I’ve been in my career for 20 years and am barely worse for wear, but I work behind a computer console. I suppose mach 5 can put the years on a man. Maybe I fall apart over the next 3 years lol

They should have asked real piltos about stories during training to create a more realistic plot.
Given the extensive cooperation of the DoD with the production team,odds are that that they did indeed interview actual fighter and test pilots. Still wouldn't stop them from taking liberties in the film.
Take a listen to the jet fighter podcast. They worked hand and hand with navy leaders.
imo the plot was realistic enough with just enough hollywood-ism to be fun but not dumb
Good stuff!
Flying is not for everybody. However good pilots are IRREPLACEABLE. It's a unique talent. The practitioner comes with the wings included or not. It's literally a monastic life where testing happens every day like praying the Lord while he tests our faith every day.
One thing is for sure. Those who fly for our freedom are people who believes in freedom and fly risking their lives for us. Those people, I can't thank the m enough for their God given gift and nerves of steel. They consume their lives in a cockpit for us to enjoy free speech, a honest job and a small humble house for our living.
It's not about any type of movie or movies where reality is just diverted for the sake of real national security. It's about people who gave their lives entirely to commitment. Those are the ones that holds nations together. The army gave us a lot. We should at least have respect and the decency recognizing their work and duty.
I can't watch this video in a house with people sleeping. The cut scenes are too loud and the dialogue between the pilots is too quiet.
he rammed into a jet, didn't he?
Or he ramed the jet
@@MarkoLomovic more convincing lol
“RAF” 😂 😂😝😝😀😁😛😃😝
Engineering is Science:)
Yeah.. this is what real pilots look like not the Hollywood version. Pilots are nerds and not the most fit
Cool guys, but that footwear...?! Lol
Watching this makes me realize just how stupid I am… 😳
Only 23 years and you look like hell. I’ve been in my career for 20 years and am barely worse for wear, but I work behind a computer console. I suppose mach 5 can put the years on a man. Maybe I fall apart over the next 3 years lol
Very very clever getting your flight team to review this movie 👍
Thank you.
