00:00we are cleared into the area verify cameras are on all right here we go three two one here come
00:08some g's there's five g's seven g's
00:21all right that was awesome
00:26i wasn't ready to make a sequel until we had a special story worthy of a sequel and until
00:32technology evolved so we could delve deeper into the experience of a fighter pilot the first movie
00:39became something that changed a generation so this is exciting to come back and get new jets again
00:46we worked with the navy and the top gun school to formulate how to shoot it practically
00:50because if we're going to do it we're going to fly in the f-18s the aviation sequences had to
00:57be real
00:58so our actors went through three months of grueling training the navy says if you eject you have to be
01:05able to survive in the water so we had to go through that challenging underwater program
01:10it's intense you're flipped inverted and you're having to try and get out
01:15from there tom designed this all-encompassing aviation training for all the actors
01:21i started them out in a single-engine airplane to build up their spatial awareness inside the aircraft
01:27oh wow that's amazing oh my god next we took them to the l39 when they went and flew aerobatics
01:36to feel
01:37what it's like in a jet it's the speed wow from there they graduate to the f-18 super hornet
01:43and
01:43actually launching off an aircraft carrier
01:46that's what i'm talking about
01:49whoo
01:52the actors also had to learn how to run the cameras because when they're up in the jet they have
01:58to direct
01:58themselves essentially okay i'm rolling i had to really teach them cinematography and the lighting
02:03so that they understood what's gonna look good on camera done angles great everybody thought it would
02:08be impossible for actors to really be in the jets but that's the gift that tom gave us that by
02:13the
02:13time we got up there we could handle it definitely the most amazing thing i've ever done all the training
02:22one hundred percent prepared i'm very proud of what we all accomplished each one of them are
02:29extraordinary it still blows my mind that we've done this there's nothing like it
