Vincent Aiello spent nearly 25 years in the US Navy as a fighter pilot. He rates the realism of fighter-pilot scenes in popular movies. Vincent flew the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. He has completed over 3,800 flight hours and 705 carrier landings, and served as a TOPGUN instructor and air wing operations officer. He left the Navy in 2017 to become a commercial airline pilot. He also hosts the popular podcast “The Fighter Pilot Podcast.”
Vincent analyzes the realism of dog-fight scenes in “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997), “Iron Eagle” (1986), and “The Final Countdown” (1980). He also rates scenes with fighter pilots attacking other craft, such as “Air Force One” (1997) and “Independence Day” (1996). He looks at stunts featuring US aircraft such as “True Lies” (1994), “We Were Soldiers” (2002), and “Live Free or Die Hard” (2007). He breaks down the skills of Tom Cruise in “Top Gun” (1986) and addresses why fighter pilots have nicknames such as “Maverick.”

US Navy Pilot Rates 10 Fighter-Pilot Scenes In Movies | How Real Is It?

In the top gun scene, the F5 would have easily out maneuvered an F-14, like half the size and much higher turn rate.
I clicked because i saw Iron-man, now where's Iron-man discussion ????!!!!
Get this guy to rate Hot Shots
Bro got 1 thing wrong about true lies. AGM 65 isn’t laser guided. It’s TV and it has its own seeker. The harriers can peel off like that without any effect on the missile.
Why have Iron Man in the thumbnail but not have it included?
My mans looking life through a fish eye lens.
A Zero went a lot faster than 120 mph
He was great
6:32 also the F-35B doesn’t have guns
Has anyone made a movie with a 9/10 or 10/10 "Fighter-Pilot Scene" in a movie yet, that's what I really want to know.
15:00 Down in reactor department, we called the Red Shirts "BB Stackers".
I think the swiss or canadians, who operate the F/A-18 on land, may have drogue chutes equipped on their planes. But how a US Navy Pilot would get his hands on a swiss or canadian F/A-18 instead is a mystery to me.
And one gripe about movie Callsigns, which the sequel actualy kind of fixed. Pilot nicknames are usually embarassing or jokes based on the person or something they did or happened to em. Not something "cool" per se.
The sequel to Top Gun made me smile when they had all these Pilots with "cool" nicknames…only for them to explain the story behind them and they were all some embarassing stuff.
And another edit of horrifying trivia especially for the expert, being a naval aviator. The flying scenes in Final Countdown were indeed filmed with real planes, and the navy pilots in those F-14s were almost stalling very close to the ocean to get those dogfighting shots with the significantly slower Zeros.
7:29 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
link?
The US Navy has some really boring and uncreative ship names. If I were in charge of the names I’d be naming ships after Sea gods and Sea monsters among other things.
1:59 that hurt my legs, the mix of sound and limp flopping just made it sound like he broke his ankles or femurs or somethin
plfs dont always work
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍😍😍😍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧🇺🇦🇮🇱🏳️🌈
I never had to defend from someone strangling me – I'd be really, really surprised if you had.😃
I don’t remember iron man fighting an F-22
Boo on you for this one.
Always believed Air ForceOne was BS. So much of the action was just so fake AS!
15:14 I beg your pardon?
Propably depends on the specifics of the fire ball, but I don't think it would be a big problem to fly through it. The possible debris (including fluids) is probably the biggest danger.
That’s actually an X-35B. And if I’m not mistaken, it never carried an internal gun.
The more I watch these, the more I appreciate realistic movie scenes. Even without an expert/professional talking about such scenes, it really bothers me when movies are so damn unrealistic. Almost like the director being lazy, kinda insulting.
Peppy Hare taught me that barrel rolls work every time.
Hey Jello! What a surprise to see you here!!! ❤
I’m a subscriber of your fantastic podcast!😊
The bridge in true lies was blown up. It was set for demo because a new bridge was built already. Its now a fishing pier
Ik this is an old video but if you make another one of these do the F-35 scene from The Avengers plz
I would have loved to see how realistic he thought a cobra maneuver was.
Hey President. I got this. Sir.
I remember seeing the James Bond in the theater thinking that jet is going to flame right out. An engine need oxygen rich and preferably cool air. The exact opposite of what you will get in the middle of a firestorm.
You can see how long this guy has been flying a plane because of the red marks on his mouth and nose 🤣
I thought this was Dylan McDermott in the beginning doing these reviews.
I'm surprised no Hot Shots scenes were included.
We all know that Harrison Ford has held a pilots license for a long time. I think they just wanted to exploit that in Air Force One
8:18 yeah but some russian MF invented how to do it 😂
Iron-Man can be called also as the Fe-Male
2:50 my dad was a fighter pilot in the British Royal Navy, and he said his call sign was "Limelight."
Broken Arrow was code for a missing nuclear weapon.
small critique, the kfir is armed with the DEFA 30mm revolver cannon, it would be a super high speed tapping sound for its gun rather than a BRRRRT heard with gatling guns like the M-61, still I agree with him with the sound of the ROF of the gun.
Air Force maintainer: gasp he acknowledges their aircraft leak a ton of crap!? Bravo!
12:44 new pilot training scenario 🤔 knowing how to defend against this would be invaluable when hi-jacking an enemies jet.
Ju jitsu instead of karate
I broke my leg recently and I wanted to join Air Force can I still joined I really want to fly a fighter jet
I swear this video went trough Iron Man
I would love to see a breakdown of Flight of the Intruder!
I love the first TOP GUN but it’s ridicules when you see that stupid joystick on the F 5 ! I mean how much money they spent on that movie? And that’s the best that they could come up with?
10:58 That's an Air Force major, not a Lt. Col.
