:15:01
For five weeks...
:15:03
you will fly against the best
fighter pilots in the world.
:15:04
You were number two.
Cougar was number one.
:15:07
Cougar lost it,
turned in his wings.
:15:09
You guys are number one.
:15:13
But you remember one thing--
:15:15
you screw up just this much...
:15:17
you'll be flying a cargo plane
full of rubber dog shit...
:15:20
out of Hong Kong.
:15:21
Yes, sir!
:15:26
That is all.
:15:28
You can tell me about the MlG
some other time.
:15:31
Gentlemen!
:15:33
Good luck, gentlemen.
:15:34
-Thank you, sir.
-Thank you.
:15:42
SONG: Out along the edge...
:15:43
is always where I burn to be.
:15:48
The further on the edge,
the hotter the intensity.
:15:54
Highway to the danger zone.
:15:59
Gonna take you
right into the danger zone.
:16:06
Highway to the danger zone.
:16:13
Right into the danger zone...
:16:18
During Korea,
the Navy kill ratio was 12 to 1.
:16:21
We shot down 12 of their jets
for every one of ours.
:16:24
During Vietnam,
that ratio fell to 3 to 1.
:16:26
Our pilots had become dependent
upon missiles.
:16:29
They had lost some
of their dogfighting skills.
:16:32
Now, Top Gun was created
to teach ACM--
:16:34
Air Combat Maneuvering.
:16:36
Dogfighting.
:16:37
This gives me a hard-on.
:16:39
By Vietnam's end,
that ratio was back to 12 to 1.
:16:42
Don't tease me.
:16:43
Blinds, please.
:16:44
I'd like to take this
opportunity to introduce you...
:16:47
to our commanding officer
at Top Gun.
:16:49
The first man awarded
the Top Gun trophy.
:16:51
You will not find
a finer fighter pilot...
:16:53
anywhere in the world.
:16:55
Commander Mike Metcalf.
Call sign, Viper.
:16:58
Gentlemen...
