GRAPHOTYPE™ TOP GUN NICK BRADSHAW GOOSE STAINLESS STEEL DOG TAG SET

Product Information

Renowned aerobatic pilot Art Scholl was hired to do in-flight camera work for the film. The original script called for a flat spin, which Scholl was to perform and capture on a camera on the aircraft. The aircraft was observed to spin through its recovery altitude, at which time Scholl radioed "I have a problem... I have a real problem". He was unable to recover from the spin and crashed his Pitts Special biplane into the Pacific Ocean off the Southern California coast near Carlsbad on September 16, 1985. Neither Scholl's body nor his aircraft were recovered, leaving the official cause of the accident unknown. [39] Top Gun was dedicated to Scholl's memory. [40] Locations [ edit ]

Air-to-air shots were filmed using a Learjet, piloted by Astrovision inventor and legendary [ according to whom?] pilot Clay Lacy (his name is misspelled in the closing credits, as "Clay Lacey"). Grumman, manufacturer of the F-14, was commissioned by Paramount Pictures to create camera pods to be placed upon the aircraft [34] that could be pointed toward either the front or rear of the aircraft providing outside shots at high altitude.
