Red Flag was created to fly the first 10 days of a massive air war against Russia. The youngest pilots in squadrons are brought in to get realistic combat experience with over 100 jets fighting in the exercise. Top Gun teaches your most experienced pilots in a one on one environment to be world class fighter pilot instructors.

No it's not. The movie is about Red Flag, which is just a 2 week joint exercise. It has nothing to do with Top Gun. Top Gun is a school for fighter pilot instructors. The USAF's school for fighter pilot instructors is called the USAF Weapons School (a six month course).

I was a young fool, now an old fool... The Monk

I was disappointed. Of course, I went in thinking it was a documentary, so
I was looking for better attention to details. Things like the fake AWACS displays. The napalm exploding *under* the targeted vehicles (let's just say that when a bomb hits something, more pieces fly up than fire). My favorite part was the cockpit shot showing the pilot valiantly whipping the stick all over the place in a frenzied attack to recover, yet the attitude indicator was rock solid straight and level.

I'm waiting for someone to pick up on how the entire theme was to watch a F-15C pilot go through the program. Yet the entire footage is shot of F-15E jets.
