I assume you’re speaking of Top Gun movies. Out of my league. My experience was with my husband in General Aviation aircraft and 10 hours at the controls for a Pinch Hitter course.

Well, the original script had Goose dying in a midair collision, but the Navy objected, so the studio went with “freak accident while ejecting”...supposedly based on an actual incident at Miramar.
