1. - Morning, Scott.
- Morning, Ben
Copy !req
2. - Morning, Wells.
- Hey, sir.
Copy !req
3. Ghost Rider, this is Strike.
We have an unknown aircraft.
Copy !req
4. Inbound Mustang,
you're in Vector 090 for bogey.
Copy !req
5. - Who's up there?
- Cougar & Merlin, and Maverick & Goose.
Copy !req
6. Great. Maverick and Goose.
Copy !req
7. - Talk to me, Goose.
- Roger, I got them.
Copy !req
8. 20 left at 30 miles, 900 knots closure.
Copy !req
9. - Cougar, you hear that?
- Roger.
Copy !req
10. - Merlin, you got them?
- Roger, I've got radar contact.
Copy !req
11. - I'll get a visual ID, Cougar. You hook them.
- Roger, an' I'll clean 'em and fry 'em.
Copy !req
12. Mystang, this is Ghost Rider, 203.
Copy !req
13. I got them inbound, bogey
heading 270 at 10 miles.
Copy !req
14. - 900 knots closure.
- Ghostrider, take angels 10, left, 3, 0.
Copy !req
15. - Are we supposed to have visitors today?
- Negative, sir.
Copy !req
16. - Merlin, see if he's a single.
- Roger.
Copy !req
17. - Goose, do you see a trailer?
- Negative, Merlin. Looks like he's a single.
Copy !req
18. Cougar, I'm gonna go head-to-head with him.
Copy !req
19. Take it easy, Maverick, I don't like this shit..
Copy !req
20. I'm gonna break high & right,
see if he's really alone.
Copy !req
21. - We got a 1000-knot closure, Mav.
- He's coming right at us.
Copy !req
22. Okay, buddy. What's on your mind?
Copy !req
23. Shit, there's two of them. MiG-28s!
Copy !req
24. What the hell are they doing?
What's their position?
Copy !req
25. - 250 miles out, sir.
- 250 miles? Get 'em out of here!
Copy !req
26. Cougar, you've got MiG one.
I'm going after MiG two.
Copy !req
27. I lost him in the sun! Shit, what's
he doing? You got him, Merlin?
Copy !req
28. He's coming around,
he's coming around on our tail!
Copy !req
29. Goddamn it. This bogey's all over me.
Copy !req
30. - What's their range now?
- 200 miles, sir.
Copy !req
31. If they break 150 miles, launch
the alert-five aircraft.
Copy !req
32. - Airspeed 300. Go get them, Mav!
- I'm going for missile lock.
Copy !req
33. Let's see if we can scare him this guy
out of here. Come on, lock up, baby.
Copy !req
34. I've got him locked. Bingo!
Copy !req
35. We got him, Mav. He's
bugging out and going home.
Copy !req
36. Mustang, this is Maverick.
MiG two is headed home.
Copy !req
37. - Alright, what's their position?
- 180 miles and bearing 010, sir.
Copy !req
38. Cougar, he's got missile lock on us!
Get away from this guy!
Copy !req
39. What the hell is this shit? He's engaging me.
Copy !req
40. Goddamn it. Mustang, this is Ghostrider
117, this bogey's all over me.
Copy !req
41. He's got missile lock on me,
do I have permission to fire?
Copy !req
42. Do not fire until fired upon.
Copy !req
43. Goose, there they are. Right below us.
Copy !req
44. The MiG's in perfect firing position.
And he's right on Cougar's tale.
Copy !req
45. No way, Goose. He would have fired by
now. He's just trying to piss us off.
Copy !req
46. Maverick, get down here and
get this asshole off me!
Copy !req
47. Easy, Cougar. Bring him back,
hard right. Help me engage.
Copy !req
48. I'm on my way.
Copy !req
49. I can't shoot this son of a bitch.
Let's see if we can have a little fun with him.
Copy !req
50. Is this your idea of fun, Mav?
Copy !req
51. Greetings.
Copy !req
52. Watch the birdie.
Copy !req
53. Geez, I crack myself up.
Copy !req
54. This is a great shot, Mav.
I should be a photographer.
Copy !req
55. Cougar, your tail is clear.
MiG one has bugged out.
Copy !req
56. Cougar, this is Maverick. We've had
enough fun for one day, don't you think?
Copy !req
57. I'm getting a lil' low on fuel,
so we're heading home.
Copy !req
58. We'll see you on deck.
Copy !req
59. Cougar, we're running low on gas,
we gotta get outta here.
Copy !req
60. Cougar?
Copy !req
61. We're on vapour, Cougar.
Let's do it.
Copy !req
62. Cougar, come on, Cougar!
Copy !req
63. - Let's take it back to the ship, man.
- Come on, Cougar.
Copy !req
64. Get him on deck as soon as possible,
he's gotta be low on fuel.
Copy !req
65. Cougar, we've got to land this thing.
We are way low on gas, you understand me?
Copy !req
66. Are you all right, man?
Copy !req
67. Maverick, you're 3/4 to
fall out, call the ball.
Copy !req
68. Roger. Maverick has the ball.
Copy !req
69. Goose, Cougar's in trouble.
Copy !req
70. Come on, Mav, we're getting low
on gas, let's land this sucker.
Copy !req
71. Cougar!
Copy !req
72. Goddamn it, Maverick!
Copy !req
73. What're you doing, Mav?
We've got no fuel for this.
Copy !req
74. We're going after Cougar.
Copy !req
75. You tell him to land that
plane. That's an order!
Copy !req
76. Ghostrider, you're instructed
to land. Land immediately.
Copy !req
77. Any of you boys seen
an aircraft carrier around here?
Copy !req
78. Man, we got a little problem up
here, that MiG really screwed him up.
Copy !req
79. I don't think he can make it back.
Copy !req
80. You're okay, Cougar. Just stay on my
wing. I'll take you all the way in.
Copy !req
81. Just stay with me.
Copy !req
82. Easy, Cougar.
Just a walk in the park, buddy.
Copy !req
83. You're a little low. You're a little low, Coug.
Come on, buddy, pull up.
Copy !req
84. Pull up, Cougar.
Copy !req
85. That's it. Almost there.
Copy !req
86. A little below glide path.
3/4 over now, call the ball.
Copy !req
87. Rogerball.
Copy !req
88. You're too low. You're too low,
Cougar! More power!
Copy !req
89. Come in.
Copy !req
90. Cougar, you should be in a
sickbed, what's on your mind?
Copy !req
91. My wife and kid, sir.
Copy !req
92. I almost orphaned him today,
and I've never even seen him.
Copy !req
93. I don't know what happened
up there, but I was so scared.
Copy !req
94. Come on, we've seen this before.
Copy !req
95. No, sir.
Copy !req
96. I'm holding on too tight.
I've lost the edge. I'm sorry, sir.
Copy !req
97. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
98. Cougar?
Copy !req
99. Thanks, Maverick.
Copy !req
100. - Maverick, Goose, come in here.
- What the hell's going on?
Copy !req
101. - I don't know.
- Shit.
Copy !req
102. Maverick, you just did
an incredibly brave thing.
Copy !req
103. What you should have done was land your plane.
You don't own that plane, the taxpayers do!
Copy !req
104. Son, your ego's writing cheques
your body can't cash.
Copy !req
105. You've been busted, you've lost your
qualifications as section leader three times.
Copy !req
106. Put in hack twice by me
with a history of high-speed passes...
Copy !req
107. over five air control towers
and one admiral's daughter!
Copy !req
108. - Penny Benjamin?
- You, asshole, you're lucky to be here.
Copy !req
109. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
110. And let's not bullshit, Maverick.
Your family name ain't the best in the Navy.
Copy !req
111. You need to be doing it better
and cleaner than the other guy,
Copy !req
112. now what is it with you?
Copy !req
113. Just want to serve my country, be the
best fighter pilot in the Navy, sir.
Copy !req
114. Don't screw around with me, Maverick.
Copy !req
115. You're a hell of an instinctive
pilot. Maybe too good.
Copy !req
116. I'd like to bust your butt, but I can't...
Copy !req
117. I got another problem here.
Copy !req
118. I gotta send somebody from
this squadron to Miramar.
Copy !req
119. I gotta do something. I still can't believe it.
I gotta give you your dream shot.
Copy !req
120. I'm gonna send you up against the best.
You two characters are going to Top Gun.
Copy !req
121. For five weeks you're going to fly
against the best pilots in the world.
Copy !req
122. You were number two. Cougar was number one.
Cougar lost it, turned in his wings.
Copy !req
123. You guys are number one.
But you remember one thing:
Copy !req
124. You screw up just this much,
you'll be flying a cargo plane...
Copy !req
125. full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong.
Copy !req
126. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
127. That is all.
Copy !req
128. Tell me about the MiG some other time.
Gentlemen?
Copy !req
129. - Good luck, gentlemen.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.
Copy !req
130. During Korea, the Navy kill ratio was 12 to 1.
Copy !req
131. We shot down 12 of their
jets for every one of ours.
Copy !req
132. During Vietnam, that ratio fell to 3 to 1.
Our pilots become dependant upon missiles.
Copy !req
133. They lost some of their dog-fighting skills.
Copy !req
134. Now, Top Gun was created to teach ACM -
'Air Combat Manoeuvring'. Dog-fighting.
Copy !req
135. This gives me a hard-on.
Copy !req
136. By the end of Vietnam, that
ratio was back to 12 to 1.
Copy !req
137. - Don't tease me.
- Blinds, please.
Copy !req
138. I'd like to take this
opportunity to introduce you...
Copy !req
139. to our commanding officer at Top Gun.
Copy !req
140. very first man to win the
Top Gun trophy.
Copy !req
141. You will not find a finer fighter
pilot anywhere in the world.
Copy !req
142. Commander Mike Metcalf.
Copy !req
143. - Call sign 'Viper.'
- Gentlemen...
Copy !req
144. You're the top one percent
of all naval aviators.
Copy !req
145. The elite. The best of the best.
We'll make you better.
Copy !req
146. You fly at least two combat missions
a day, attend classes in between,
Copy !req
147. and evaluations of your performance.
Copy !req
148. On each combat sequence you're
gonna meet a different challenge.
Copy !req
149. Every encounter is gonna
be much more difficult.
Copy !req
150. We're gonna teach you to fly the F-14
right to the edge of the envelope,
Copy !req
151. faster than you've ever flown before.
Copy !req
152. And more dangerous.
Copy !req
153. Now, we don't make policy here, gentlemen.
Elected officials, civilians, do that.
Copy !req
154. We are the instruments of that policy,
and although we are not at war,
Copy !req
155. we must always act as though we are at war.
Copy !req
156. - What are you doing?
- Just wondering who's the best.
Copy !req
157. In case some of you wonder who the best is,
they're here on this plaque on the wall.
Copy !req
158. The best driver and his RIO
from each class has his name on it.
Copy !req
159. And they have the option to come back here
to be Top Gun instructors.
Copy !req
160. You think your name's
gonna be on that plaque?
Copy !req
161. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
162. That's pretty arrogant,
considering the company you're in.
Copy !req
163. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
164. I like that in a pilot.
Copy !req
165. Remember, when it's over out there,
we're all on the same team.
Copy !req
166. Gentlemen, this school is about combat.
There are no points for second place.
Copy !req
167. - Dismissed.
- Nice going.
Copy !req
168. The plaque for the alternates
is down in the ladies' room.
Copy !req
169. Oh, Jesus... You kill me.
You really do.
Copy !req
170. No, no, no. There's
two O's in Goose, boys.
Copy !req
171. - This is what I call a target-rich environment.
- You live your life between your legs, Mav.
Copy !req
172. Goose, even you could get laid
in a place like this.
Copy !req
173. I'd be happy to find a girl
who'd talk dirty to me.
Copy !req
174. Mav, you wanted to know who
the best is? That's him. Iceman.
Copy !req
175. That's the way he flies.
Ice-cold. No mistakes.
Copy !req
176. Just wears you down. You get bored, frustrated,
you do something stupid, and he's got you.
Copy !req
177. Hey, hey, Slider. I thought you wanted
to be a pilot, man. What happened?
Copy !req
178. Goose, you're suck a dickhead.
Whose butt did you kiss to get here?
Copy !req
179. - The list is long but distinguished.
- Yeah, so is my johnson.
Copy !req
180. - So you're flying with lceman, huh.
- It's Mr. Iceman for you.
Copy !req
181. Hey, Mother Goose, how's it going?
Copy !req
182. Doing good. Tom, this is Pete Mitchell.
Tom Kazansky.
Copy !req
183. - Congratulations on Top Gun.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
184. Sorry to hear about Cougar...
Copy !req
185. you know, we were like brothers
in fight school. He was a good man.
Copy !req
186. - Still is a good man.
- Yeah, that's what I meant.
Copy !req
187. Thought so.
Copy !req
188. - So, you need any help? - With what?
- You figured it out yet?
Copy !req
189. - What's that?
- Who's the best pilot.
Copy !req
190. No, I think I can figure
that one out on my own.
Copy !req
191. I heard that about you.
Copy !req
192. You like to work alone.
Copy !req
193. Mav, you must've your soul
under a lucky star, huh?
Copy !req
194. I mean, first the MiG and then
you slide into Cougar's spot...
Copy !req
195. We didn't slide into Cougar's spot,
it was ours, ok.
Copy !req
196. Yeah well, some pilots wait a
whole career to see a MiG up close.
Copy !req
197. Guess you guys are lucky and famous, huh.
Copy !req
198. - No, you mean notorious. I'll see you later.
- You can count on it.
Copy !req
199. - They were abused children.
- We're gonna have a good time. - Always.
Copy !req
200. Okay, I guess it's my turn, isn't it?
All right, the bet is 20 dollars.
Copy !req
201. You have to have carnal knowledge,
of a lady this time, on the premises.
Copy !req
202. - On the premises.
- Come on, Mav... a bet's a bet.
Copy !req
203. I don't know, it just doesn't seem fair...
for you, I mean. But uh...
Copy !req
204. She's lost that loving feeling.
Copy !req
205. - She's los... No, she hasn't.
- Yes, she has. - She has not lost that lo...
Copy !req
206. - Goose, she's lost it, man. Come on.
- I hate it when she does that.
Copy !req
207. - Excuse me, miss.
- Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry. I'll take care of this.
Copy !req
208. You never close your eyes anymore
when I kiss your lips...
Copy !req
209. there's no tenderness like before
in your fingertips...
Copy !req
210. You're trying hard not to show it,
baby...
Copy !req
211. but baby, believe me, I know that...
Copy !req
212. You lost that loving feeling,
oh, that loving feeling.
Copy !req
213. You lost that loving feeling,
now it's gone, gone, gone...
Copy !req
214. - Sit down.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
215. I love that song. I've never seen that approach.
How long have you two been doing this act?
Copy !req
216. - I don't know. Since uh...
- Puberty? - Right, puberty.
Copy !req
217. - I'm Charlotte Blackwood.
- I'm Maverick.
Copy !req
218. 'Maverick'? Did your mother
not like you or something?
Copy !req
219. No, it's my call sign.
Copy !req
220. - You're a pilot!
- That's right. A naval aviator.
Copy !req
221. - Actually, we've only done this twice.
- Oh, how'd you do?
Copy !req
222. Crashed and burned on the
first one, it wasn't pretty.
Copy !req
223. And the second?
Copy !req
224. I don't know, I'll tell you tomorrow.
But it's looking good so far.
Copy !req
225. Well, 'Maverick'... my friend just arrived,
so it's been great talking to you.
Copy !req
226. - Perry! - Hi.
- Hi. Here you go.
Copy !req
227. I'll be with you in just a second, ok.
Copy !req
228. - Listen, can I ask you a personal question?
- That depends.
Copy !req
229. - Are you a good pilot?
- I can hold my own.
Copy !req
230. Great. Then I won't have to worry about
you making your living as a singer.
Copy !req
231. I'm gonna need a beer to put these
flames out. Great, Mav. Real slick.
Copy !req
232. - A long cruise, was it, sailor?
- Too long.
Copy !req
233. What you wanna do, just drop by
down on the tile and go for it?
Copy !req
234. I actually had this counter in mind.
Copy !req
235. - That would be very, very comfortable, yeah.
- It could be.
Copy !req
236. Actually, I came in here to save you
from making a big mistake with that older guy.
Copy !req
237. Really? So I could go on to a bigger one
with a young guy like yourself?
Copy !req
238. Maybe.
Copy !req
239. - I have to get up early in the morning.
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
240. Your friend was magnificent.
Copy !req
241. You'll also be trained and evaluated
by civilian specialists.
Copy !req
242. The civilians are hre because
they are our very best...
Copy !req
243. source of information on enemy aircraft.
Copy !req
244. One of the most qualified is our call sign
Charlie. She has a Ph.D. in astrophysics.
Copy !req
245. And she's also a civilian contract,
so you do not salute her.
Copy !req
246. But you better listen to
her, because the Pentagon...
Copy !req
247. listens to her about your proficiency.
Copy !req
248. All yours, Charlie.
Copy !req
249. Hello. We will be dealing with F-5s
and A-4s as our MiG simulators.
Copy !req
250. Now, then, as most of you
know, the F-5 doesn't have...
Copy !req
251. the thrust-to-weight ratio of the MiG-28.
Copy !req
252. And it doesn't bleed energy
below 300 knots like the MiG-28.
Copy !req
253. However, the MiG-28 does have
a problem with its inverted flight tanks.
Copy !req
254. It won't do a negative G push-over.
Copy !req
255. The latest intelligence tells us
the most it will do is 1 negative...
Copy !req
256. Excuse me, Lieutenant.
Is there something wrong?
Copy !req
257. - Yes, ma'am. The data on the MiG is inaccurate.
- How's that, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
258. - Well, I just happened to see a MiG-28...
- We, we. - Sorry, Goose.
Copy !req
259. We happened to see a MiG-28
do a 4 G negative dive.
Copy !req
260. Where did you see this?
Copy !req
261. - That's classified.
- It's what?
Copy !req
262. It's classified. I could tell you,
but then I'd have to kill you.
Copy !req
263. Lieutenant, I have
Top Secret clearance.
Copy !req
264. The Pentagon sees to it
that I know more than you.
Copy !req
265. Well, ma'am, it doesn't seem
so in this case now, does it?
Copy !req
266. So, Lieutenant... where exactly were you?
Copy !req
267. Well, we started up on his six when he pulled
through the clouds. I went above him.
Copy !req
268. If you were directly above him,
how could you see him?
Copy !req
269. - Because I was inverted.
- Bullshit.
Copy !req
270. No, he was, man. It was a really great move.
He was inverted.
Copy !req
271. You were in a 4 G inverted dive
with a MiG-28?
Copy !req
272. - Yes, ma'am.
- At what range?
Copy !req
273. About two metres?
Copy !req
274. Well, it was actually about 1/2, I
think. I have a great Polaroid of it.
Copy !req
275. - It was a nice picture.
- Lieutenant?
Copy !req
276. - What were you doing there?
- Communicating. - Communicating.
Copy !req
277. Keeping up foreign relations.
Copy !req
278. - I was, you know, giving him the bird.
- You know, the finger.
Copy !req
279. I know the finger, Goose.
Copy !req
280. I'm sorry, I hate it when
it does that. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
281. - Excuse me.
- So you're the one?
Copy !req
282. - Yes, ma'am.
- All right, we have a hop to take.
Copy !req
283. The hard-deck on this hop will be 10,000 feet.
There'll be no engagement below that.
Copy !req
284. Move it!
Copy !req
285. Lieutenant!
Copy !req
286. Okay, don't be late again.
You look great, honey.
Copy !req
287. Lieutenant, why didn't you tell me
you were the famous MiG lnsulter?
Copy !req
288. - Would it have made any difference?
- Not in the ladies' room, no.
Copy !req
289. And what would've?
Copy !req
290. I'm an instructor at this
school, I see 20 new hotshots...
Copy !req
291. every eight weeks. Now, I'm
sure you can figure that out.
Copy !req
292. Look, Lieutenant. I'd just really like
to hear about the MiG sometime.
Copy !req
293. You've got security clearance.
You read about it.
Copy !req
294. Maverick...
I'm curious.
Copy !req
295. Who was covering Cougar while you
were showboating with this MiG?
Copy !req
296. Cougar was doing just fine.
Copy !req
297. Gentlemen, this is your first hop.
The jets you're flying against are...
Copy !req
298. smaller and faster and more manoeuvreable.
Copy !req
299. Just like the enemy MiGs. Clock
is ticking, and as of now...
Copy !req
300. we are keeping score.
Copy !req
301. - I lost him, Goose.
- Show me what you've got, kid.
Copy !req
302. - I lost him.
- I'm looking. I'm looking.
Copy !req
303. I got him, I got him.
He's on our tail, coming hard.
Copy !req
304. I got him. Here we go.
Copy !req
305. Alright, talk to me, Goose.
Copy !req
306. He's still back there. He's closing
in on us. He's closing fast.
Copy !req
307. You can run, kid, but you can't hide.
Copy !req
308. All right, Jester,
I'll give you a run for your money here.
Copy !req
309. Watch the mountains!
Copy !req
310. I still got 'im, he's still back there.
Come on, Mav, do some of that pilot shit.
Copy !req
311. Yeah. I got him.
Copy !req
312. - Come on, bring it right.
- I've had about enough of this shit.
Copy !req
313. - When I hit the brakes, he'll fly right by.
- You're mine.
Copy !req
314. Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
315. - Let's see what you've got now, Jester.
- Ok, man. Let's turn and burn.
Copy !req
316. - He's going vertical. So am I.
- We're going ballistic, man. Go get him!
Copy !req
317. He's going for the hard-deck.
Let's get down there first and nail him, Mav.
Copy !req
318. No way, Jester. You're mine.
Copy !req
319. I've got you now!
Copy !req
320. - Jester's dead.
- Jester's dead.
Copy !req
321. Get your butts above the hard-deck
and return to base.
Copy !req
322. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
323. Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a fly-by.
Copy !req
324. Negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.
Copy !req
325. No, no, Mav. This is not a good idea.
Copy !req
326. Sorry, Goose... but it's time to buzz the tower.
Copy !req
327. Goddamn son of a bitch!
Copy !req
328. Great balls of fire.
Copy !req
329. - Jester's dead.
- You won? Bullshit.
Copy !req
330. - Didn't everybody?
- No, man. We got our butts kicked.
Copy !req
331. 30 seconds. We went like this,
he went like that...
Copy !req
332. I said to Hollywood, 'Where did he go?'
Hollywood said, 'Where did who go?'
Copy !req
333. And he's laughing at us right on
the radio, he's laughing at us.
Copy !req
334. That was me laughing, dickhead. We won.
Copy !req
335. - All right!
- They won too, man.
Copy !req
336. - That's not what I heard.
- No, we did. We got Jester.
Copy !req
337. Below the hard-deck doesn't count.
Copy !req
338. Hard-deck my ass, we nailed that son of a bitch.
Copy !req
339. - You guys really are cowboys.
- What's your problem, Kazansky?
Copy !req
340. You're everyone's problem.
Copy !req
341. That's because every time you go
up in the air, you're unsafe.
Copy !req
342. - I don't like you because you're dangerous.
- That's right, lceman.
Copy !req
343. I am dangerous.
Copy !req
344. Maverick. You and Goose get
your butts outta that...
Copy !req
345. flight gear and up to Viper's office, now!
Copy !req
346. Remember boys, no points
for second place.
Copy !req
347. - You're a lot brighter than you look.
- You shut up. - Don't worry, don't worry.
Copy !req
348. Two of your snot-nosed jockeys did a fly-by
at my tower at over 400 knots.
Copy !req
349. I want somebody's butt, I
want it now, I've had it.
Copy !req
350. Goddamn it, that's twice.
I want some butts!
Copy !req
351. - Well, that'll just about cover the fly-bys.
- Follow me.
Copy !req
352. Gentlemen. You had a hell of a first day.
Copy !req
353. The hard-deck for this hop was
10,000 feet. You knew it. You broke it.
Copy !req
354. You followed Commander Heatherly
below after he lost sight of you. Why?
Copy !req
355. Sir, I had Commander Heatherly in my sights.
He saw me move in for the kill...
Copy !req
356. he then proceeded below the hard-deck.
Copy !req
357. We weren't below 10,000 for
more than a few seconds.
Copy !req
358. I had the shot.
There was no danger, so I took it.
Copy !req
359. You took it,
and broke a major rule of engagement.
Copy !req
360. Then you broke another one
with that circus stunt fly-by.
Copy !req
361. Lieutenant Mitchell, Top Gun
rules of engagement exist...
Copy !req
362. for your safety and for that of your team.
Copy !req
363. They're not flexible, nor am I.
Copy !req
364. Either obey them or you
are history. Is that clear?
Copy !req
365. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
366. Dismissed.
Copy !req
367. I really enjoyed that, Mav,
thanks a lot. Holy shit.
Copy !req
368. Maybe I could learn how to be a truck driver.
Mav, you got the number of that truck-driving
Copy !req
369. school that was on TV, Truck
Master, something like this?
Copy !req
370. I might need that.
Copy !req
371. State in those reports says it all.
He's a wild card.
Copy !req
372. Completely unpredictable.
Copy !req
373. - He got you, didn't he?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
374. Maverick. I flew with his old man.
Copy !req
375. Tell me one thing... if
you had to go into battle,
Copy !req
376. - would you want him with you?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
377. I just don't know.
Copy !req
378. - Still awake?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
379. - What's up?
- Can't sleep.
Copy !req
380. You kow, when I realised
we were going to Top Gun,
Copy !req
381. all I could think about was getting that trophy.
Copy !req
382. I've got to be straight with you, Mav.
Right now, I just hope we graduate.
Copy !req
383. I got a family to think about.
I can't afford to blow this.
Copy !req
384. I guess that fly-by
wasn't such a big hit, huh?
Copy !req
385. Look, man, I know it's tough for you.
Copy !req
386. The Academy rejected you because
you're Duke Mitchell's kid.
Copy !req
387. You have to live with that reputation.
Copy !req
388. But it's like everytime we go up there,
it's like you're flying against a ghost.
Copy !req
389. It makes me nervous.
Copy !req
390. You're the only family I've got.
I'm not gonna let you down. I promise.
Copy !req
391. Get out of here.
Copy !req
392. A rolling reversal
would work well in that situation.
Copy !req
393. If I reversed on a hard cross, I could
immediately go to guns on him.
Copy !req
394. But at that speed, it's too fast.
It's a little bit too aggressive.
Copy !req
395. Too aggressive?
Copy !req
396. Yeah, I guess when I see
something, I go right after it.
Copy !req
397. You didn't tell me who
you were the other night.
Copy !req
398. You didn't give me a chance,
did you? You deserved it.
Copy !req
399. I know... but uh... you were tempted...
to ask me out for dinner.
Copy !req
400. - No.
- No? - No.
Copy !req
401. I don't date students.
Copy !req
402. I can see it's dangerous for you.
But if the government trusts me...
Copy !req
403. maybe you could.
Copy !req
404. It takes a lot more than just fancy flying.
Copy !req
405. Crash and burn, huh, Mav?
Copy !req
406. Slider...
Copy !req
407. You stink.
Copy !req
408. Let's go!
Copy !req
409. Come on, Mav. Just one more game.
That evens it up.
Copy !req
410. - I got some things to take care of.
- 'Take care of'? Just one more game.
Copy !req
411. - Please? For me? - I'm sorry.
- You're sorry... Come on... For me?
Copy !req
412. Damn it.
Copy !req
413. Lieutenant?
Copy !req
414. - What? No singing?
- Look, I'm...
Copy !req
415. No apologies.
Copy !req
416. If you don't mind, I'm... I'm
just gonna take a quick shower...
Copy !req
417. while you're finishing up here.
Copy !req
418. Yeah, I do mind. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
419. And then I thought about it.
Copy !req
420. I thought,
'You know, he's a smart guy.'
Copy !req
421. 'Why don't you just tell him
why you've got him here?'
Copy !req
422. It's the MiG.
Copy !req
423. The MiG. You're the only pilot
who's been up against a MiG-28.
Copy !req
424. I'm trying for this big promotion.
If I get it, I won't be here much longer.
Copy !req
425. Seems to me you've got it all figured out.
Copy !req
426. Except you did forget the wine.
Copy !req
427. Sorry.
Copy !req
428. - You always get what you want?
- No, not always. Yeah, maybe.
Copy !req
429. Then relax about the MiG.
Copy !req
430. This music...
Copy !req
431. An old friend?
Copy !req
432. My folks loved it.
I haven't heard this in years.
Copy !req
433. My mother used to call from her room
and have me play this over and over again...
Copy !req
434. I got so sick of it.
Copy !req
435. But not her. She'd sit up there alone,
just listening for hours.
Copy !req
436. Just listening.
She died shortly after him.
Copy !req
437. What happened to your father?
Copy !req
438. I guess I kinda figured with your security
clearance you'd know more about it than I do.
Copy !req
439. Well, I didn't get that far.
Copy !req
440. Well, that's a big mystery.
Copy !req
441. He disappeared in an F-4,
November 5th, 1965.
Copy !req
442. The stink of it was... he screwed up.
Copy !req
443. No way.
My old man was a great fighter pilot.
Copy !req
444. But who the hell knows?
It's all classified.
Copy !req
445. - Somebody must know.
- Yeah, somebody knows everything.
Copy !req
446. Is that why
you're always second best up there?
Copy !req
447. You are direct, aren't you.
Copy !req
448. I'm sorry I was late.
Copy !req
449. - I'm sorry for being direct.
- No apologies.
Copy !req
450. This is going to be complicated.
Copy !req
451. - Where are you going?
- I'm gonna take a shower.
Copy !req
452. Thank you. I enjoyed being here.
Copy !req
453. It looks like you need another shower.
Copy !req
454. Right.
Copy !req
455. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Copy !req
456. Your MiG sighting
is really important to my work, but uh...
Copy !req
457. I don't normally invite students
to my house. You're uh...
Copy !req
458. But please understand,
I still have a job to do.
Copy !req
459. I'm glad we got that straight.
Copy !req
460. I told her how tough it is here. You know,
my ass dragging like an old tired dog.
Copy !req
461. I told her you didn't even
have a woman here.
Copy !req
462. She said, 'Oh, he probably
doesn't have 1, he's got 8.'
Copy !req
463. - Hi!
- Daddy.
Copy !req
464. So, Maverick! Goose tells me you're
in love with one of your instructors.
Copy !req
465. Is that right?
Copy !req
466. I didn't tell her that. I can't believe
you said that. That was a secret.
Copy !req
467. The bogey has good position right here.
Freeze frame. A moment of choice.
Copy !req
468. The F-14 is defensive.
He has a chance to bug out right here.
Copy !req
469. Better to retire and save your aircraft
than push a bad position.
Copy !req
470. Charlie, jump in here any time. Now, you stay
in that diamond another three seconds...
Copy !req
471. the bogey's gonna blow you out in the sky.
You take a hard right, select zone five...
Copy !req
472. you can extend an escape.
You made a bad choice.
Copy !req
473. - Charlie?
- Aircraft one performs a split S?
Copy !req
474. That's the last thing you should do.
The MiG's right on your tail.
Copy !req
475. Freeze there, please. The
MiG has you in his gunsight.
Copy !req
476. What were you thinking at this point?
Copy !req
477. You don't have time to think up there.
If you think, you're dead.
Copy !req
478. That's a big gamble with a
$30-million dollar plane,
Copy !req
479. Lieutenant.
Copy !req
480. Unfortunately, the gamble worked.
The MiG never got a clean shot.
Copy !req
481. Maverick makes an aggressive vertical
move here, comes over the top, and he
Copy !req
482. The encounter was a victory, but I think
we have show it as an example of what not to do.
Copy !req
483. Next.
Copy !req
484. Gutsiest move I ever saw, man.
Copy !req
485. Now then, this is a perfect example
of a textbook manoeuvre.
Copy !req
486. Lieutenant?
Copy !req
487. My review of your performance was
right on, in my professional opinion.
Copy !req
488. I can't hear you.
Copy !req
489. Jesus Christ! And you think I'm reckless!
When I fly, my crew and my plane come first.
Copy !req
490. Well, I'm gonna finish
my sentence, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
491. My review of your flight
performance was right on.
Copy !req
492. - Is that right?
- That is right.
Copy !req
493. But I held something back.
Copy !req
494. I see some real genius in your flying,
Maverick, but I can't say that in there.
Copy !req
495. I was afraid that everyone in that
tacts training would see right through me.
Copy !req
496. I just don't want anyone
to know that I've fallen for you.
Copy !req
497. - Hey, Maverick? You hear about lce?
- What's that?
Copy !req
498. - He won another one.
- Really? - Yeah.
Copy !req
499. I fell the need...
the need for speed.
Copy !req
500. Gentlemen, this is hop 19. Multiple aircraft,
multiple bogeys. Your training is half-over.
Copy !req
501. The competltion for the Top Gun
trophy remains tight. First place, lceman.
Copy !req
502. Second place, Maverick.
Just two points behind.
Copy !req
503. There they are. Three miles, left, 10 o'clock.
I don't think they see us yet.
Copy !req
504. Ok, I see them. Two A-4s.
Left 10 o'clock level. Continue left turn.
Copy !req
505. Good morning, gentlemen. The
temperature is 110 degrees...
Copy !req
506. Holy shit! It's Viper!
Copy !req
507. Viper's up here? Great. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
508. Great. He's probably saying,
'Holy shit, it's Maverick and Goose.'
Copy !req
509. Yeah, I'm sure he's saying that.
Copy !req
510. - I've got my eye on the northern bogey.
- Roger, I've got the southern guy.
Copy !req
511. Hollywood, you got the lead,
I'll cover you.
Copy !req
512. Break now, Jester.
Copy !req
513. Hollywood, we're losing Viper.
Let's just stay on Jester.
Copy !req
514. Roger, I'm on 'im.
Copy !req
515. Goose, find Viper. He's out there somewhere.
Copy !req
516. Stay with Hollywood, Mav,
we're covering his wing.
Copy !req
517. - Goose, there's Viper. Three o'clock low.
- Stay with Hollywood, Mav, we're his cover.
Copy !req
518. - Don't you leave me, Mav.
- Hollywood, you're looking good.
Copy !req
519. I'm going after Viper.
Copy !req
520. - Goddamn you, Maverick!
- Mav, don't leave him.
Copy !req
521. Goose, Hollywood's okay.
I want Viper.
Copy !req
522. Stand by.
Viper's coming down.
Copy !req
523. Holy shit. We're head-to-head.
I can't believe we're doing this.
Copy !req
524. Rock and roll! Here's our chance,
it's a big one, Goose.
Copy !req
525. Come on, goddamn it.
Copy !req
526. Come on, keep coming.
Copy !req
527. Okay, sidewinder missile selected.
Come on, baby.
Copy !req
528. Come on, Come around.
That's it.
Copy !req
529. - Jesus, this guy's good. Where's he going?
- Come on, come on. Keep coming.
Copy !req
530. Come on, baby.
Copy !req
531. Damn, this kid's good.
Copy !req
532. He's too close for missiles.
I'm switching to guns.
Copy !req
533. Come on, come on.
Copy !req
534. Stick with it...
Copy !req
535. - Hold it. Check our tail.
- Shit, there's Jester!
Copy !req
536. Bingo, Maverick's dead.
You're out of there, kid.
Copy !req
537. The Defence Department regrets
to inform you your sons...
Copy !req
538. are dead because they were stupid.
Copy !req
539. Great balls of fire.
Copy !req
540. Knock it off, gentlemen.
Let's go home. Viper has the lead.
Copy !req
541. - 30 seconds, Wolfman. I'm coming in.
- Shut up!
Copy !req
542. That was some of the best flying I've seen yet.
Right up to the part where you got killed.
Copy !req
543. You never, never leave your wingman.
Copy !req
544. Maverick... It's not your flying,
it's your attitude.
Copy !req
545. The enemy's dangerous, but
right now you're worse than...
Copy !req
546. the enemy. You're dangerous and foolish.
Copy !req
547. You may not like who's flying with you, they may
not like you... but whose side are you on?
Copy !req
548. At least Viper got lceman before
he got us. We've still got a shot at it.
Copy !req
549. That was stupid, I know better than that.
That will never happen again.
Copy !req
550. I know...
Copy !req
551. I know.
Copy !req
552. Maverick, would you go fetch him.
Doesn't he ever embarrass you?
Copy !req
553. - Goose? Hell no. Well, there was the time...
- Admiral's daughter. - What?
Copy !req
554. He told me all about the time
you went ballistic with Penny Benjamin.
Copy !req
555. Did he? That's great...
Copy !req
556. He tells me about all of them. How my
lil' angel Goose goes home early for church...
Copy !req
557. ... and you! You always go
home with the hot women.
Copy !req
558. Alright. Thank you, Carole.
Copy !req
559. I'm gonna go embarrass myself
with Goose for a while.
Copy !req
560. I'd love to be able to warn you off about
Maverick, but I just love him to death.
Copy !req
561. I've known Pete for a lot of years now and...
I'm telling you, one thing's for certain.
Copy !req
562. - There are hearts breaking wide open
all over the world tonight. - Why?
Copy !req
563. Because, unless you are a fool,
that boy is off the market.
Copy !req
564. He is 100% prime-time in love with you.
Copy !req
565. - Hey, Goose, you big stud. - That's me, honey.
- Take me to bed or lose me forever.
Copy !req
566. Show me the way home, honey.
Copy !req
567. Come on, brother, sing with the family.
Copy !req
568. Maverick, you big stud...
Copy !req
569. Take me to bed or lose me forever.
Copy !req
570. Okay, gentlemen, this is hop 31.
Two weeks to graduation.
Copy !req
571. The Top Gun trophy
is still up for grabs, so
Copy !req
572. Well, it's bottom of the
night, the score is tied.
Copy !req
573. It's time for the big one.
Copy !req
574. - You up for this one, Maverick?
- Just a walk in the park, Cazansky.
Copy !req
575. Contact. Multiple bogeys, 165. Two miles.
Looks like they're going away from us.
Copy !req
576. - Oh, I see 'em. Right, two o'clock. I'm in.
- I'm in.
Copy !req
577. That son of a bitch cut me off.
Copy !req
578. - Come on. Jesus Christ, lce, take the shot.
- Come on, Ice. Get the hell out of there.
Copy !req
579. I can't get the angle. I'm too close
for missiles. I'm switching to guns.
Copy !req
580. Ice, fire or clear!
Copy !req
581. Look at this! Jesus Christ,
I can take a shot right here.
Copy !req
582. I need another 20 seconds and I've got him.
Copy !req
583. I'm moving in. I've got the shot.
Copy !req
584. Come on, Mav, let's get in there. Come on, Mav!
Copy !req
585. Maverick's getting impatient.
Now, come on, take the shot.
Copy !req
586. 10 more seconds, then I've got 'im.
Copy !req
587. Come on, get the hell out
of there. Let's do it, Mav.
Copy !req
588. Ice, Come off my right. I'm in.
Copy !req
589. - Five more seconds.
- Come off my right. I'm in.
Copy !req
590. I'm off. Shit.
Copy !req
591. We're in a jetwash. Shit!
Copy !req
592. This is not good. Shit,
we've got a flame-out, Mav.
Copy !req
593. Engine one is out... Engine two is out.
Copy !req
594. I'm losing control. I can't control it!
Copy !req
595. It's coupling up. This is not good!
Copy !req
596. Mayday, mayday. Mav's in trouble.
He's in a flat spin heading out to sea!
Copy !req
597. Altitude 8,000... 7,000...
Copy !req
598. We're at 6,000!
Copy !req
599. I can't reach the ejection handle!
Copy !req
600. - You're gonna have to punch us out.
- I can't reach the ejection handle!
Copy !req
601. - Eject...
- Watch the canopy!
Copy !req
602. Goose... Oh, no!
Copy !req
603. Oh, God.
Copy !req
604. Sir, let go of him.
You've got to let him go, sir.
Copy !req
605. - How are you doing?
- I'm all right.
Copy !req
606. - Goose is dead.
- I know.
Copy !req
607. You fly jets long enough,
something like this happens.
Copy !req
608. He was my RIO, my responsibility.
Copy !req
609. In my squadron in Vietnam,
we lost 8 of 18 aircraft. 10 men.
Copy !req
610. The first one dies, you die too.
But there will be others.
Copy !req
611. You can count on it.
Copy !req
612. You've got to let him go.
Copy !req
613. You've got to let him go.
Copy !req
614. I think maybe it was my fault.
Copy !req
615. I don't know.
Copy !req
616. I don't know what the hell went wrong.
Copy !req
617. I'd like to help. I know it's difficult.
Copy !req
618. God, I want him back.
Copy !req
619. I'll be here if you need me, okay?
Copy !req
620. God, he loved flying with you, Maverick.
Copy !req
621. He would have flown anyway...
without you.
Copy !req
622. He'd've hated it,
but he would have done it.
Copy !req
623. We find that the F-14 flatspin
was induced by the...
Copy !req
624. disruption of air flow
into the starboard engine.
Copy !req
625. This disruption stalled the engine...
Copy !req
626. which produced enough yaw rate
to induce a spin...
Copy !req
627. which was unrecoverable.
Copy !req
628. There was no way Lieutenant
Mitchell could see or avoid...
Copy !req
629. the jetwash which produced the engine stall.
Copy !req
630. Therefore, the Board of lnquiry
finds Lieutenant Mitchell...
Copy !req
631. was not at fault in the
accident of 29th of July.
Copy !req
632. Lieutenant Mitchell's record will
be cleared of this incident.
Copy !req
633. Lieutenant Mitchell's restored to
flight status without further delay.
Copy !req
634. These proceedings are closed.
Copy !req
635. Get him up flying, soon.
Copy !req
636. Come on, kid, come on. Get in there. Engage.
Copy !req
637. Alright, you've got a bogey at two o'clock low,
Maverick. You got the angle, piece of cake now.
Copy !req
638. Take the shot, kid.
Take the shot.
Copy !req
639. You can engage any time, Maverick.
Copy !req
640. - Hey! Where the hell are you going?
- It's not good. It doesn't look good.
Copy !req
641. What do you mean, 'it doesn't look good'?
It doesn't get to look any better than that.
Copy !req
642. Hey, man. We coulda had him...
Hey! We coulda had him, man!
Copy !req
643. I'll fire when I'm goddamn
good and ready. You got that?
Copy !req
644. He can't get back in the saddle,
he won't engage.
Copy !req
645. You know, he just might not make it back.
Copy !req
646. Keep sending him up.
Copy !req
647. Mitchell?
Copy !req
648. I'm sorry about Goose.
Copy !req
649. Everybody liked him.
Copy !req
650. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
651. Hi, it's Wolfman.
Copy !req
652. Maverick just quit.
Copy !req
653. Excuse me...
Copy !req
654. - May I?
- Please.
Copy !req
655. I'll have what he's having.
Hemlock, is it?
Copy !req
656. Ice water.
Copy !req
657. You weren't gonna say goodbye?
Copy !req
658. I heard you got that job in Washington.
Congratulations.
Copy !req
659. Thanks. But I wasn't gonna leave
without saying goodbye.
Copy !req
660. - It's good to see you.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
661. Where are you going?
You don't even have a ticket, do you?
Copy !req
662. Listen, I've seen all the evidence,
and it's not your responsibility.
Copy !req
663. It's not your fault.
Copy !req
664. You're one of the best pilots in the Navy.
Copy !req
665. What you do up there... It's dangerous.
Copy !req
666. - But you've got to go on.
- You don't understand.
Copy !req
667. When I first met you,
you were larger than life.
Copy !req
668. Look at you.
Copy !req
669. You're not gonna be happy
unless you're going Mach 2...
Copy !req
670. with your hair on fire, you know that.
Copy !req
671. No, that's over. It's just over.
Copy !req
672. To be the best of the best means
you make mistakes and then...
Copy !req
673. you go on, it's just like the rest of us.
Copy !req
674. You don't think I know that?
Copy !req
675. I'm here to help.
Copy !req
676. Look, thank you. But if I'd wanted help,
really... I would have asked for it.
Copy !req
677. So, I'm too late.
Copy !req
678. You've already left.
Copy !req
679. You didn't learn a damn thing,
did you?
Copy !req
680. Except to quit.
Copy !req
681. You've got that manoeuvre down
real well.
Copy !req
682. So long, Pete Mitchell.
Copy !req
683. Oh, hi, Maverick, come on in.
How are you doing?
Copy !req
684. - Good
- Yeah? Sure you're feeling okay?
Copy !req
685. - Fine.
- Great.
Copy !req
686. Jamie, come on. Can I get you a
drink or anything else like that?
Copy !req
687. No, thank you.
Copy !req
688. - Ok, why don't you just uh...
- Thank you very much.
Copy !req
689. Make yourself comfortable, 'cuz
Mike will be right down, ok?
Copy !req
690. Ok. Thank you.
Copy !req
691. I flew with your old man.
VF-51, the Oriskany.
Copy !req
692. You're a lot like he was.
Only better...
Copy !req
693. and worse.
Copy !req
694. He was a natural heroic son of a bitch,
that man.
Copy !req
695. So he did do it right.
Copy !req
696. Yeah, he did it right.
Copy !req
697. Is that why you fly the way you do?
Trying to prove something?
Copy !req
698. Yeah, your old man did it right.
Copy !req
699. What I'm about to tell you is classified.
It could end my career.
Copy !req
700. We were in the worst dogfight ever
dreamed of.
Copy !req
701. There were... bogeys like fireflies
all over the sky.
Copy !req
702. His F-4 was hit, he was wounded,
but he could have made it back.
Copy !req
703. He stayed in it,
saved three planes before he bought it.
Copy !req
704. How come I never heard that before?
Copy !req
705. The battle occurred over
the wrong line on some map.
Copy !req
706. - So you were there?
- I was there.
Copy !req
707. What's on your mind?
Copy !req
708. My options, sir.
Copy !req
709. Simple.
First, you've acquired enough points...
Copy !req
710. to show up tomorrow and graduate
with your Top Gun class.
Copy !req
711. Or you could quit.
Copy !req
712. There'll be no disgrace. That spin was hell,
it would have shook me up.
Copy !req
713. - So you think I should quit?
- I didn't say that.
Copy !req
714. The simple fact is, you
feel responsible for Goose.
Copy !req
715. And you have a confidence problem.
Copy !req
716. I'm not gonna sit here and blow sunshine
up your ass, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
717. A good pilot is compelled
to always evaluate what's happened...
Copy !req
718. so he can apply what he's learned.
Copy !req
719. Up there, we've got to push it.
That's our job.
Copy !req
720. It's your option, Lieutenant.
All yours.
Copy !req
721. Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, sir, but
thank you very much for your time.
Copy !req
722. No problem. Good luck.
Copy !req
723. - Gentlemen...
- Where's Maverick?
Copy !req
724. - I don't know where he is.
- You know what he's planning to do?
Copy !req
725. It's got to be hard on the guy,
though, you know.
Copy !req
726. - Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
727. - Congratulations.
- Thanks, Mav. - Sir.
Copy !req
728. Gentlemen, I hate to break up the party
before it really gets out of hand...
Copy !req
729. Some of you have to depart immediately.
We have a crisis situation.
Copy !req
730. - Ice, Slider...
- Yo.
Copy !req
731. - Hollywood, Wolfman.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
732. - Maverick.
- Sir.
Copy !req
733. Maverick, you'll get your RIO
when you get to the ship. And if you don't...
Copy !req
734. give me a call. I'll fly with you.
Copy !req
735. Gentlemen, this is bull's eye. The
communication ship SS Layton has...
Copy !req
736. become disabled and has wandered
into foreign territory.
Copy !req
737. A rescue operation is to begin
within the hour. Your mission is...
Copy !req
738. to give air support to that rescue.
Copy !req
739. There are MiGs in the area,
and tensions are high.
Copy !req
740. If you witness a hostile
act, you will return fire.
Copy !req
741. Those MIGs carry the Exocet anti-ship missile.
Copy !req
742. They can fire that missile
from a 100 miles away.
Copy !req
743. Gentlemen, this is the real thing.
This is what you've been trained for.
Copy !req
744. You are America's best. Make us proud.
Ice... Hollywood, sector two.
Copy !req
745. Maverick, you back them up with Merlin
on ready five.
Copy !req
746. - Yes, sir.
- Rise.
Copy !req
747. Excuse me, sir. This is not personal.
Copy !req
748. But with regard to Maverick...
is he the best pilot to..?
Copy !req
749. I know what's on your mind,
Cazansky, just get on it.
Copy !req
750. You've got a pair of bogeys,
12 o'clock, 15 miles.
Copy !req
751. Voodoo One, Voodoo One. 090,
radar contact 15 miles.
Copy !req
752. They're doing 500 knots.
Copy !req
753. Roger, that's your bogey.
Copy !req
754. Dead ahead, 15 miles,
airspeed of 600 knots.
Copy !req
755. They're at 15,000 feet now,
dead ahead, 10 miles.
Copy !req
756. 800 knots. Dead ahead now, eight miles.
Copy !req
757. - Wood, you got 'em? - Not yet, I can't see 'em.
- They must be close. I'm getting a hard-on.
Copy !req
758. Ok, Wood, I'm taking the
lead. Let's identify 'em.
Copy !req
759. Roger, Ice. You got the lead, I'm
on your leftside, a little low.
Copy !req
760. - Maverick's up and ready in alert five.
- Good, good.
Copy !req
761. My bogey's still locked up.
He's drifting to the left.
Copy !req
762. Still manoeuvring, course 090.
Copy !req
763. Ok, Wood. Let's bring it to the right,
and we'll get a better angle on 'im.
Copy !req
764. Ice, we've got a problem here.
Now I have four aircraft on radar,
Copy !req
765. not 1 pair, 2 pairs. Repeat, 4 bogeys.
Copy !req
766. Wood, we've got four bogeys.
Copy !req
767. - Wrong, make that five!
- There's five, sir.
Copy !req
768. - That's five?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
769. - Oh, shit!
- He's got a radar lock on us.
Copy !req
770. Get out of there, Hollywood!
Get outta there, goddammit.
Copy !req
771. I'm hit. We're coming apart.
I can't control it! We're going down.
Copy !req
772. Wood's been hit. Wood's been hit!
Copy !req
773. Voodoo One, Wood's been hit.
We've lost Hollywood!
Copy !req
774. - Repeat, we've lost Hollywood.
- Launch Maverick on Alert 5.
Copy !req
775. Get a bearing on Hollywood and Wolfman.
And launch the rescue helicopter immediately.
Copy !req
776. - Iceman, what's your position?
- 090 at 180 miles.
Copy !req
777. - They're coming in left.
- Three MiGs dead ahead, coming on the left side
Copy !req
778. I'm going after them.
I'm bringing it around to the left.
Copy !req
779. We have four on our tail.
That makes six of them!
Copy !req
780. - He's firing. Break right.
- This is Voodoo One. We are defensive.
Copy !req
781. Launch the alert fiighters!
Copy !req
782. Where are they? - 160 miles
and closing in fast, sir.
Copy !req
783. Ready Willard and Simkin.
Copy !req
784. Maverick supersonic.
I'll be there in 30 seconds.
Copy !req
785. Where are you at?
Copy !req
786. Show up here, I'm engaged with
5, repeat 5. I'm in deep shit.
Copy !req
787. - What about Willard and Simkin?
- We can't launch any aircraft yet, sir.
Copy !req
788. - How long?
- It'll take 10 minutes.
Copy !req
789. Bullshit! 10 minutes! This thing will
be over in two minutes! Get on it.
Copy !req
790. One MiG 12 o'clock high...
Watch your back!
Copy !req
791. - Break right!
- Shit, that was close.
Copy !req
792. Maverick, get your butt down here,
what the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
793. Come on, kid. Hang in there.
Copy !req
794. Jesus Christ!
Copy !req
795. Maverick, how about some help?
Engage, goddammit!
Copy !req
796. Maverick, we've got a
MiG on our tail.
Copy !req
797. Watch out!
Copy !req
798. Sir, we just flew right
through his jetwash!
Copy !req
799. Get control!
Copy !req
800. - Good recovery, Mav.
- Okay, let's get in there, we gotta help lce.
Copy !req
801. Let's get back in the game.
Come on! Get in there, Maverick!
Copy !req
802. No, it's no good.
Copy !req
803. - Goddamn it. Maverick's disengaging.
- I knew it. Shit! - Goddammit, Maverick!
Copy !req
804. - Get in there, Maverick, come on.
- Maverick! What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
805. - Maverick, get in there, for chrissake!
- Talk to me, Goose...
Copy !req
806. Ice is in trouble! Come
on, get in there, Maverick!
Copy !req
807. Ice won't last down there alone,
get in the fight, for God's sake...
Copy !req
808. Talk to me, Goose.
Copy !req
809. Maverick!
Copy !req
810. Maverick's re-engaging, sir.
Copy !req
811. - I can't get him off my tail.
- Ice, I've got your MiG dead ahead.
Copy !req
812. I got 'im dead ahead.
Copy !req
813. I got tone. Firing!
Copy !req
814. - Where are they?
- 155 miles.
Copy !req
815. Two MiGs dead ahead,
closer, 800 miles an hour.
Copy !req
816. I see them. I'm gonna take
them on the left side.
Copy !req
817. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
818. Ice is right below us,
he's got a MiG on his tail.
Copy !req
819. He's firing. Break left!
Copy !req
820. He overshot!
Copy !req
821. Coming in, lce. Coming in.
Copy !req
822. I got two MiGs, dead ahead.
Copy !req
823. I got 'im, Mav.
One MiG passing between us.
Copy !req
824. You've got a MiG on your left.
He's gonna fire!
Copy !req
825. Check the guy to the north!
Copy !req
826. Banking left.
Copy !req
827. - There he is. Get him, lce!
- Okay, you guys, I'm coming in.
Copy !req
828. Maverick! We got a MiG's coming
round on our tail, we gotta get outta here!
Copy !req
829. I can't leave lce.
Copy !req
830. He's still coming around,
he's gonna get behind us!
Copy !req
831. I'm not leaving my wingman.
Copy !req
832. I'm on his tail. I'm going for
it. I'm going for the shot...
Copy !req
833. right now. Roger, engaged!
Copy !req
834. - I've got radar lock.
- I'm taking the shot. Fire!
Copy !req
835. - Bingo! - Watch it, sucker, yeah!
- Ice, watch out. There's a MiG to your right.
Copy !req
836. He's firing!
Copy !req
837. - I'm hit. We're hit in the right engine.
- I'm shutting it down.
Copy !req
838. Coming in, lce.
Coming in.
Copy !req
839. Ice, that bogey's still behind
you. I'm manoeuvring for a shot.
Copy !req
840. Stay with him, Mav, Stay with him!
Copy !req
841. - Take the shot, nail him, nail him!
- Shit. Ice, I can't get a tone.
Copy !req
842. Shoot, Maverick!
I can't get him off my tail.
Copy !req
843. - Maverick, we're hit! We're hit again again!
- We're okay.
Copy !req
844. Ice, on the count of three,
break hard right.
Copy !req
845. Three... two... one...
break right!
Copy !req
846. Firing!
Copy !req
847. - Damn it, I missed.
- Don't let him go. Keep on him, Mav, keep on him.
Copy !req
848. I got him. I got him.
Here comes the shot.
Copy !req
849. Strike three.
Copy !req
850. Maverick, move. There's a MiG on your tail.
Copy !req
851. We got a problem here, we've
only got one missile left.
Copy !req
852. - Approaching, 110 miles, sir.
- Goddammit.
Copy !req
853. I got him, I got him.
He's right on us, he's on our tail.
Copy !req
854. We haven't lost him,
he's still with us.
Copy !req
855. - What're you doing, you're slowing down!
- I'm bringing him in closer, Merlin.
Copy !req
856. You gonna do what?
Copy !req
857. This is it, Maverick.
Copy !req
858. I'm gonna hit the brakes, he'll fly right by us.
Copy !req
859. Now!
Copy !req
860. I've got a good lock. Firing.
Copy !req
861. Strike four!
Copy !req
862. Mustang, this is Voodoo Three.
Remaining MiGs are bugging out.
Copy !req
863. - Mustang, this is Maverick, requesting fly-by.
- Negative, Ghostrider. The pattern is full.
Copy !req
864. Excuse me, is there something
I should know about?
Copy !req
865. Goddamn that guy.
Copy !req
866. You!
Copy !req
867. You are still dangerous.
Copy !req
868. But you can be my wingman anytime.
Copy !req
869. Bullshit. You can be mine.
Copy !req
870. - Maverick?
- Sir!
Copy !req
871. You're on the front pages
of all the English-speaking world.
Copy !req
872. Even though the other side
denies the incident, congratulations.
Copy !req
873. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
874. They gave you your choice of
duty, son. Anything, anywhere.
Copy !req
875. Do you believe that shit?
Copy !req
876. Where do you think you want to go?
Copy !req
877. I thought of being an instructor, sir.
Copy !req
878. Top Gun?
Copy !req
879. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
880. God help us!
Copy !req
881. Hello, Pete Mitchell.
Copy !req
882. I heard the best of the best
were gonna be back here, so...
Copy !req
883. This could be complicated.
Copy !req
884. You know,
on the first one, I crashed and burned.
Copy !req
885. And the second?
Copy !req
886. I don't know.
Copy !req
887. But uh...
Copy !req
888. it's looking good so far.
Copy !req
