Oh, are you a top gun pilot or something?

Yes, the Mach 10 scene was more amusing than moving, but I thought the rest had a basis in reality. What am I missing?

It wasn’t a documentary

As far as the Mach 10 ejection, it doesn’t show it so I assume escape capsule

I assume it is a cross-over with the movie Oblivion and it's actually a second

You remind me of this guy with that post:

It's a fictitious movie. It's supposed to be at least part fantasy, right?

You should have seen it in the theater. It was meant for the big screen

Agree to disagree. A top gun level pilot could likely pull all that off.

Can and did. The flying was almost all real pilots. Almost no CGI.

Also, from what I understand, those pilots weren't even real Topgun.

Nope. Not even fighters fly that way (thinking of the crater in the volcano).

How to tell us you’re old without telling us you’re old.

I mean... the ejection isn't impossible to believe. If you crunch the numbers, people have survived similar ejections.

It might shock you to find out that most movies are made up fiction

Top Gun instructors review the movie:

Have you watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World? I'd like to hear your review

They didn’t show him parachuting to safety. I thought the implication was the cockpit was a hardened escape capsule that
