IIRC it was based on a carrier (I seem to remember dog-tags being thrown into the sea?) The F14 is a carrier based plane with swing wings, while the f15 is land based.
I could be completely wrong I have not seen it for atleast 10 years

Just to add the F-14 Tomcat (as in the film) was built by Grumman, whereas the F-15 Eagle ( the one Jeremy Clarkson threw up in IIRC ) was built by McDonnell Douglas.
The supposed Mig 28s were Northrop F5 Freedom Fighters
Now where are those Top Trump cards

I love Top gun - got it on DVD but still had to watch it on tv last night. Everyone who was a kid when it was released wanted to be a fighter pilot.
Even today those massive aviator shades and cheesy lines still bring a smile to my face. Pulp Fiction is a great film, actually one of my faves but so is Top Gun.
You have to admit that the flight scenes were very good for the time - Im suprised they never went for a sequel but maybe thats a good thing.

I was based at NAS Mirimar shortly after they finished filming Top Gun.
A single British military pilot in California. It was a tough assignment but somebody had to do it

I watched Pulp Fiction on my honeymoon in the states (Jackson Hole, Wyoming) and then went back to the Hotel and got medeival on her *** (well not actually her ***, but you get the point)
Top Gun was when I was at school, 'Take my breath away' at the school disco, unrequited lust for Louise Shipton, cruising around on my racing bike thinking it was a Jet Plane.
