Watch it at Amazon
I like to start by saying that Top Gun is one of my all time favorites. I have watched it so many times (seen I own it ha) and I never get tire of it. I have to say that it did change a little on my point of view on Naval Aviation since I just served in the Navy for over 7 years. I got to see the real Navy and real Naval Aviation. Maverick, Goose, and Iceman all represent a stereotype of a Naval Aviator. There are aggresive ones like Maverick and stuck up ones like mr. Iceman which I actually liked in the movie (Val did an awesome job playing iceman). I had actually worked with a gentleman (ex boss) who was stationed on the Enterprise when Top Gun was being filmed and he happened to be in the crowd of extras at the end of the movie after the last combat scene when the guys return from battling the Migs(F5s). I do like the romance in the movie a lot since Tom and Kelly Mcgillis do an excellent job in showing a great chemistry between a Naval Aviator and an instructor. However, I did also like Iron Eagle a lot and I have it also since it has awesome aerial sequences and my old time favorite Louis Gosset jr. I am on my way in being an Air Force Aviator in a couple of years after I graduate from AFROTC and college so I need to put my Top Gun in my VHS and get inspired :)
