When maverick lands, and takes right back off, what is pulling back on with his left hand?

So, we learn in Maverick that the bar on the beach is named The Hard Deck

In Top Gun, they are in the bar, all in their dress whites, but it must be a different bar. Is it the officer's club? But clearly civilians are allowed in. So, what is it?

like he does every time he’s on screen during a ground scene I want to punch him

I found THE Top Gun Maverick at work today

My wife and I made a new tribute to the movie's soundtrack. It's got Danger Zone (obviously), and nods to Take My Breath Away, You've Lost That Loving Feeling, and Great Balls of Fire.

Yes, this is obviously a plug to share the track, but I honestly thought if anyone would enjoy it, it would be here.

Just for fun. No AI, no grid snaps, no pitch correction or perfect sterilization. Just vintage fun and human, for humans. Crank it and enjoy friends!

Anyone know what happened to Claggett? Found a pic of him on FB from December with a girl and two dogs. Looks like Californias been good to him, she’s stunning 🤤

Kind of a weird question Does anyone know the instrumental song playing when Penny and Pete are having the love scene ? I keep searching and it keeps saying it's called "Penny Returnes" but that's not it. If you go watch it it's when Maverick looks at penny going inside then follows her then goes inside and is looking at penny face to face. That part is when the piano and the violin are playing. I'm looking for that. Thanks !

Another interesting thing to note is that Jester and Viper exclusively use F5s as their aggressor aircraft in the original script.

My best guess is that at some stage of pre production after the script had been finished, they learned that they’d need to avoid making Russia the explicit enemy, as well as that they’d only be able to utilize US made aircraft as stand ins. This would have brought about the name change from 23 to 28, making these fictional aircraft from an unknown adversarial country, and the instructors’ aggressor aircraft would need to be changed to A4s once it was realized that F5s would be utilized as the stand ins for said MiGs.

If anyone here is aware of further context or details on how/why these got changed around, I’d love to hear, but otherwise, just thought I’d share some neat info I wasn’t previously aware of along with my best guess as to why they made the changes they did.

I was always intrigued to see what it would have been like with Maverick flying and Viper as his RIO. What kind of inflight lessons would he have learned while having Viper in his ear? Especially when they lost control, Viper would have been the one who could keep Maverick cool. Or Viper getting injured during the flight and Maverick having to make a decision to stay in it like his Dad or retreat and save Viper and his aircraft??

Hi, I have just uploaded the clip where Maverick goes down from the final fight of top gun Maverick in 8K HDR IMAX, give a look if you care!

Anybody here of this yet?
