BlackLion213 Posted October 18, 2015 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

BlackLion213 Posted October 18, 2015 Author 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
