Rooster: can't shut up (like a literal rooster every 7 AM)

Phoenix: Her F/A-18F gets into a bird strike and goes down having caught fire. Then, she pulls the ejection handle and ejects like a phoenix rising from the ashes

Coyote: he's quite slow, slower than a coyote

Omaha: he loves rushing

Yale: he's probably too dumb to go to Yale university

Payback: does not pay his debts back that he owes people

That's all for part one

I came here from Transformers wiki and i am happy to contrib any knowledge about Top Gun i know because i have Top Gun syndrome and american bias.

My favourite character is Phoenix for some reason

Top Gun syndrome:

Instead of brain there is F/A-18F Hornets in temple

The movie was released on May 27, 2022 and grossed $1.493 billion worldwide, which made it at the time the 11th highest-grossing movie in the world (behind Avatar 1, The Avengers 4, Titanic, Star Wars 7, The Avengers 3, Spider-Man No Way Home, Jurassic Park 4, 2019 Lion King, The Avengers 1 and Fast and Furious 7). It's now the 12th highest-grossing movie in the world. It's also the 2nd highest-grossing movie of 2022 (behind Avatar 2), the highest-grossing movie distributed by Paramount* (finally surpassing Transformers 3 after 11 years) and the highest-grossing movie of Tom Cruise's career (surpassing Mission Impossible 6). It was also the 1st movie of Tom Cruise's career to gross $800 million, $900 million and $1 billion. Even though I genuinly liked it more than all the Mission Impossible movies I admit I'm still kind of surprised it grossed more than all of them

*Unless you consider Titanic a Paramount movie, which was distributed by Paramount in the United States and grossed $1.843 billion in 1997 (and $2.256 billion after re-releases)

The movie was released on May 16, 1986 and grossed $353 million worldwide in its initial release (and $357 million after re-releases), which made it at the time the 10th highest-grossing movie in the world (behind E.T., A New Hope, Jaws, The Empire Strikes Back, Gone with the Wind, Indiana Jones 1, Return of the Jedi, Back to the Future 1 and Grease). It's now the 411th highest-grossing movie in the world*. It's also the highest-grossing movie of 1986

*It would rank 413th if The Exorcist (1973), which grossed $329 million in its initial release (and $441 million after re-releases), Beauty and the Beast (1991), which grossed $331 million in its initial release (and $424 million after re-releases), Spirited Away (2001), which grossed $274 million in its initial release (and $357 million after re-releases), Apollo 13 (1995), which grossed $353 million in its initial release (and $355 million after re-releases) and this movie had never been re-released

Not sure if anyone notices this, but in the early scene when maverick and penny reunite he clearly calls her Peggy. thought i imagined this at first, so I hit rewind and sure enough he calls her Peggy. Wonder if this was done on purpose. seems unlikely that this was missed by so many people.

I was watching Top Gun Maverick for the 5th time yesterday and my 10 year old sister walks in (I'm 13) and she said Warlock looked like Obama

I dont blame her since for the first few times I watched Top Gun Maverick I thought Maverick with his helmet on looked like Bill Nye the science guy

Hi there! I'm Elsa, I'm a Community Manager at Fandom. We have a great opportunity to interview Monica Barbaro and Lewis Pullman for the 4K release of Top Gun: Maverick, and we would love to include fan questions. Would you or the community have some questions you would like to ask them?

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American carrier-capable supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental program after the collapse of the General Dynamics-Grumman F-111B project.

Hello Everyone! :)

For Roosters ribbons/medals, I used a clip of Mavericks memorabilia at the start of the movie where there is a picture of Rooster in his uniform wearing his ribbons. I’ve tried my best to decipher what ribbons he has (as it was quite blurry once zoomed in), using pictures of his fellow pilots ribbons. If some are incorrect, please feel free to correct them. :)

Hello everyone! I'm posting this as a request to the main page contributors :>

If any of you can, can you post a high quality image of character badges ON the characters? I've been searching online for high quality photos of them and can't find any, so I'm turning here.

If you can't, then that's okay!

Hey, everyone. I'm posting this here to publicly notify everyone of my longstanding intent to become an admin on this wiki. There are some minor upkeep maintenance duties that I'd like to perform, unfortunately those actions require administrator rights; small actions such as moving/merging pages of the same name. Admin rights are needed, as the merge technically deletes the recipient page (which isn't permanent as the page history can be fully restored without issue), and only an admin can delete things.

Specifically, I want to fix a 'duplicates' issue I accidentally created. When I first joined this wiki, I primarily imported missing templates and updated old templates. While doing so, for a couple of them I didn't notice that they already existed under a different pagename, so I imported the new template instead of renaming the old template first. Once I noticed this duplicate issue, to preserve page history, I tried to move the old template to the new pagename, however because I just previously created the new page, this action cannot be done as it will delete the new page. To simply it, the old template is i.e. (A) and the new page is i.e. (B). I want to rename (A) as (B), but because (B) already exists and has it's own history, I cannot do so.

I messaged the current bureaucrat (F-14 Viper), over a month and a half ago on May 30th requesting to be an admin to complete these tasks, however this user was offline for almost 2 months, until a day ago. I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

I hope that most of you are okay with me becoming an admin so I can help tidy up the wiki.

I highly doubt Rooster is 40. So, I did what every sane person did, and headcanoned TGM to be in 2010. When Rooster was 28-ish
