the patches on this jacket have not been researched out as is the case with most Hollywood efforts.

It's a movie that almost turned me off of motorcycles, airplanes, leather jackets, and pretty women................. almost.

It did, among other antics, turn me off of Tom Cruise forever.

I didn't know until Top Gun that astrophysics has anything to do with aircraft, and I took astronomy at UC Berkeley.

My wife likes it. It is, of course, utter and total piffle. What really annoys me about that film, though, is that every single time there is any reference in the tabloid press to jet pilots of any nationality, they are inevitably referred to as 'Top Guns'.

I was a NFO in the Navy shortly after this movie came out and I don't remember the Navy being like that! However, I was on an A-6E and not a F-14 so maybe it was that way for the fighter jocks... :D

If you watch it as pure entertainment (which it is) and don't think of it as or expect a 'documentary', it is not that bad.
