Yeah, as to some of the dialogue between Ice and Mav while they were flying , I would ask my brother questions and he would just roll his eyes saying that it didn't ever happen that way!
As you said, for an audience of non-naval oriented people it was wonderful, but veteran naval aviators had some issues I'm sure!
Do pilots really say, "I've got tone, I've got tone" while being engaged by other enemy aircraft ?
Hah, that was one of my questions! Also, the need "30" or "15" seconds to get in position thing.....
Mostly for the audience in the cinema because I'm pretty certain the backseater could hear it, too, but the tone thing is legit. That's how the AIM-9 IR missile worked. The pilot would uncage the missile (from boresight or the radar lock) to see if the infrared tracker saw a valid source, and if the missile seeker was good it gave you a very distinct tone like that. If the tone was good, check range/shoot cue, and let it rip!
True for the aircraft firing....not sure there is a sensor that tells the other guy he's been locked on to. Pretty sure that is just a dramatic Hollywood thing.
I know the pilot gets a tone. I was questioning whether the pilot would be yelling out, "I've got tone, I've got tone"
I’m confused. Why would this be flagged?
Maybe we have some Russian Dawg fans here, or a fat finger? 😎
Oh right…..Maybe @pgjackson is an NSA enforcer…?😜😎
He could tell us, but then he would have to kill us …..
I'm sure some pantywaist was offended by the violent reference to blowing up an enemy aircraft...
Haha...on a movie clip?!
Mayne that crosses some dictoator's "RED" line ?
Upvote for the use of "pantywaist" I'm sure there are those who have not heard that one before. It's been a minute since I have last heard it .
Just saw Top Gun....freaking awesome! There was some expected Hollywood fake military nonsense, but it was about 95% fantastic.
Can’t wait to see it!
”I feel the need….”
”The need for speed….!!”
”Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!”
