I love it, simple editing job but very enjoyable!

@ComandanteJ

Thanks ComandanteJ. Some things are better left alone and the best editor knows better

when that is.

@TheForrestal well, the original had no music because it was not needed, the orchestra of a full scale carrier launch operation is more than enough to entertain the viewer, IMO. Why it was added? IDK, maybe the user who uploaded it thought that i would be cooler that way... but it isn't.

@ComandanteJ

So what was the reason for no music in the original scene and why was it added here?

Can you answer that question?

[ComandanteJ]

@TheForrestal agreed. AGREED. AND AGAIN, AGREED. There was a reason for no not adding music to the original scene... And adding that music, is like comparing both films... . And if you compare them, you automatically burn in hell.

My brother in law was a fighter pilot instructor specialising in aerial combat, in the South African air force, flying souped-up Mirage 3's. He said that in top gun, the actors kept turning their heads to look back to see where the enemy was. They would have needed massive neck muscles to achieve such a feat and would have been exhausted by the effort in no time. Real pilots have excellent peripheral vision, so they only need to move their heads a little and use their eyes to look for the enemy.

Bobbya16 is absoluety right!!

Actually there was no music during this scene in the movie and there is no music on the flight decks of these ships during launching. Wouldn't it be more entertaining to hear just the roar of the jet engines? Isn't that what were watching? Actually, most background music is often too loud, annoying, distracting and totally unnecessary so why did you add it?

@rbilleaud Ill admit that is true, but the majority of the systems on an Air Craft Carrier are heavily classified. It is possible they have schematics stored in there data base on board, as well as how to produce Titanium and what not. I'm not sure. Missiles would be a problem. An Air Craft carrier carries a lot of spare parts, in case a problem occurred with the missile or a vehicle. In theory, with enough time to study, people back then could start producing the items needed.

The F-8 Crusader, what a fascinating aircraft. Way ahead of its time really with the wing able to adjust to variable angles of attack - very innovative.
