I see superhornets, and very briefly at the end an F-14.

The catapult launch and Hornet scenes look cool.
Jennifer Connelly is a good pick-she was 80's hot and every decade since.
What does the Navy fly that would require the High Altitude suit at the end? Or is Maverick joining the Space Force 
Its hollywood. They'll screw it up just like Star Wars. I'd say it has promise but I'm not holding my breath.
no one else noticed the Kawasaki H2 at 1:16 after he takes the cover off the Kawasaki gpz?
not sure if it's a H2 or H2R

Honest Trailers will dub this “military recruiting nostalgia movie...with airplanes.”
If the movie is not any better than the trailers so far, it will suck.
if the movie is crap or not every article says that there is a ton of real jets not CGI.
so if nothing else the action should have a element of realism
and from the looks of it, its very similar...cant be that bad
even if they only copy 1/2 the move and really screw up the other half it should still be ok
like creed II, it was the rocky 3 story with drago...you really cant screw it up

Wonder how they will fit Iceman in a cockpit
I generally approach movies like this the same way that I've gotten my wife to see me in our marriage...start with low expectations and sometimes be surprised with greatness!

He's wearing the same pressure suit in the discussion with the admiral, too. The collar is pretty obvious.
Good or bad, I will see it on the big screen.

Iceman can only fly in hot weather which he will melt off some lbs
Im thinking space force or U2.
I'm guessing something more sci-fi-ish. Maybe the rumored/theorized Aurora, etc. The brief shot of him sitting in a cockpit wearing the same suit (complete with helmet) definitely doesn't look like a U2, SR-71, etc.
Holy dogshit Ed Harris looks like skeletor
Been following this since it was announced before a script was even selected.
From what I understand, mid production, he stopped everything to learn how to fly fighter jets. Already has a civilian pilots license, so not surprised.
Now is he the one flying 10ft from the deck? Who knows, but I imagine he actually was catapulted, or as the cool kids these days say, yeeted off the carrier.
The movie production was paused for 4 or 6 months so he could get a crash course in flight school to get his license to fly by himself. He does like to do his own stunts after all.
As someone who was born in 86' and most people my age have never seen it, I can't fucking wait for this movie.
I can just about quote the entire original movie as its playing. I will probably even take the day off to go see it.
"I am dangerous."
Call it whatever you want. Just what I read, and don't care to try and back it up either. To lazy. Maybe when I am bored at work tomorrow I'll look.
I doubt the Navy allowed Cruise to do a cat shot and/or blast around low-level by himself in a Super Hornet.

Would not be surprised if he did some flying in a L-39 or something during filming, and flew the P-51 in the trailer, and maybe even did some flying at altitude in a -F with an IP onboard.
Tom Cruise will fly aircraft to make 'Top Gun' sequel (but no, not fighter jets)
Did Tom Cruise really halt production on Top Gun: Maverick to learn to fly Navy jets? Here's the real story.

Space shuttle launch, orbit, space-walk, door-gunner, re-entry, and landing. Not only that, but he scaled the hoist cable whilst floating the re-entry-module in the Atlantic then flew the helicopter back to the carrier. Reprimanded for 'landing' in the Atlantic.
Well, it COULD happen. I wrote it, so it has to have a grain of possibility in it, therefore it's true.

I guess your a liberal...write it down on a website and it’s truth lol
So he took lessons from our dear friend Paparock?Space shuttle launch, orbit, space-walk, door-gunner, re-entry, and landing.

You ever try to free hand a GAU-8 from the shuttles door? Hitting a Chicom Sat at 17k mph @ a 90* closure angle is not that easy, even for the experienced. LOL
Methinks much better luck and performance would be had by using 'twins'!!!!! HA.
I don't know what is funnier. The line of conversation, or the fact that there are certain others here who just DON'T understand 'sarcasm'.
More HA.
If it’s not just a redo of the original, I’m betting he has to train gooses kid, then sacrifice himself to save the kid. Either way, you know I’ll see it on the big screen and play danger zone at some point on the drive to the theatre
I think somewhere in the show he’ll be inverted under a female costar.
? ?
NO.
Ehhhh maybe.. what gets me is some of the old caractors are in the new one.. hu?everybody i was in my squadron with has retired long ago and i was in when they were filming the first one!!! I hope they got some new actors in the new one
Yeeted?!? I have never herd that one lol
We just called them “cat shots”
Yeah I don't know wtf that's about either
FA-18F- two seater; the clips look like he was the bear in the back. I understand it takes a year just to get HOTAS down pat. If Uncle Sugar is letting him pilot Cat Shots, etc., off a carrier deck, I'm surprised.
My guess is that the Dragon Lady in the frame is a TR-1, a later, upgraded U-2. The Carrier designation number is CV-66, which was the largest ship ever sunk when she was scuttled in 2005. That's an archive clip/photo.

I am not really a Cruise fan but I will give him this, He puts the effort in to learn what he is doing. He is a real biker (mission impossible), and learned how to drive the Redbull F1 car in one day was laping within a few seconds of the factory drivers. He was already a pilot and it would make sense to learn enough to be able to pilot a F-18 or some other bird at altitude in a dual control cockpit. No way brass is gonna let him do a cat shot alone. Ain't gonna happen. Likely not going to be an Oscar winner with this film but for those who grew up on the old version it should make a fun blast from the past.
