That's Army Air Corps though
Only for one side.
Those RAG studs are getting pretty close to retirement by now.

I love the F-14 footage in TOPGUN. I watched snippets of Speed and Angels on Youtube. Lovely footage.

Anywhere to get the full footage?
Yeah last I heard they are both out of the Navy now. Faceshot owns his own business, and Slick has a family.
One is still the reserves, nearing retirement.
Bend is a cool little town, you know.
Probable future post-Navy location for yours truly. Fair warning. Highly recommended, even if you're just passing through.
Passed through in my fleet tour Jeeping it to Air Wing Fallon, and found out the place certainly didn't suck. A few years ago, I did an initial interview with Facebook about working in their datacenter nearby. But it was more "keeping the lights on" networking work than the "building software" work I'm doing now, and that wasn't where I wanted to go with my career. FB is (or at least was until recently) more glamorous than my current employer, but it was probably the right choice to pass. I'd love to pick the brains of their developers and PM types, but chasing Cat 5 cable and provisioning servers really isn't my thing. Important, but not my thing.
I can’t for the life of me figure out what plane this is supposed to be. My first thought was a gray-painted SNJ, but the cowling looks wrong. And I don’t know of any US carrier aircraft where the RO/Gunner faced forward like that.

Looks like a love child of an SNJ and SBD.
It might just be a set piece. For Tears of the Sun, they had a xHawk fuselage that seemed to mostly work for multiple series of aircraft, but wasn't really correct for any of them. It had previously been used for Blackhawk Down (I think it was used for the Gordon/Shugart scenes).
