Top Gun: Maverick / int_116eeb4a	comment	Non-Residential Residence: After 30 years of service earning the salary of a Captain, Maverick's private residence is a former US Navy airfield somewhere in the American southwest desert. He doesn't live in a house, so much as having an entire hangar to himself that both serves as his living quarters and garage for his personal fleet of aircraft and motorcycles.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_1440584e	comment	Heroic RRoD: The F-18 Super-Hornet is rated to a maximum loading of 7.5g, but the attack profile they are training for calls for a pull-up maneuver that's predicted to exceed 9.5g. Whilst the aircraft can tolerate this kind of abuse for a brief period, it has a very detrimental effect on the longevity of the airframe. Cyclone notes that the aircraft Maverick first demonstrates the high-g pull-up maneuver in is no longer flightworthy.

They decide to play along for a while to avoid suspicion, but the Felons quickly catch on due to Maverick and Rooster not recognizing the other pilot's hand signals (which resemble a military-style challenge/response authentication). However, it was enough for Maverick to do a complete sneak attack on the first Felon, leveling the playing field.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: In the bar scene, Hangman and Coyote fail to see Bob sitting a few feet away from them until Phoenix points him out. While not in uniform at the bar, the entire team fails to notice Maverick's name and rank visible on his jacket while they mistreat him. During one training hop, Maverick shows Rooster and Hangman how vigilant they have to be in the air by revealing he'd been flying just beneath them the entire time they were conversing over the radio. While Maverick and Rooster masqueraded as friendly pilots to steal the Rogue Nation's F-14 Tomcat, not a single enemy soldier on the ground seem to notice the F-14 perform an unauthorized takeoff-run on the taxiway. And if they did, it was possibly overlooked as friendly pilots taking off to retaliate. The third Felon pilot likely did this as well: as he is preparing to fire a missile on the F-14 carrying Maverick and Rooster, he likely did not notice the alarms indicating that his plane had been locked on by Hangman and was about to be shot down.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Earlier in the movie when the base commanders and Maverick are observing the recon satellite images of the enemy airbase, they noted that the enemy has some antique F-14 Tomcats in their arsenal. One F-14 survived the Tomahawk bombing of the base when the attack went underway, which is the one that Maverick and Rooster used to fly out of the enemy territory after they both got shot down. At one point, Maverick pulls a daring maneuver to get behind Rooster in a mock-air battle, a move that gets him reamed by the base commander for recklessness. Maverick later pulls the same maneuver, this time to shield Rooster's Hornet from an incoming SAM.

The ending also involves a triumphant return to an aircraft carrier in which the rivalry becomes a friendship, and also ends with Maverick reuniting with the Love Interest and a plane flying into the sunset over the end credits.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_391d6577	comment	Sequel Escalation: Three important aspects: The training: whereas in the first film it consists of the normal ACM taught at TOPGUN, here the training program is so tough that even what is taught in TOPGUN is not enough to be ready. Ranks: while in the first movie half of the TOPGUN trainees are Lt and the other half LTJG, the commanding officers hold the rank of CDR and no character of higher rank appears physically, in this one all the trainees are already TOPGUN graduates and hold the rank of Lt, while the commanding officers, except for Maverick, are all admirals, to the point that the rank held by more characters after Lt is two-star admiral. The climax: in the first movie it was small-scale, simply consisting of a dogfight against some enemy MiGs. In this one? An Airstrike Impossible against an enemy base, followed by escaping from the hostile territory by stealing one of the jets, then the obligatory dogfight against the enemy fighters (only this time there are three of them as opposed to six, except all of them are destroyed instead of a few of them bugging out). Also, the hostiles this time are flying Su-57 "Felons", which are planes way superior to the Hornets (and later a Tomcat) that the protagonists are flying, to the point that one of the reasons why the mission is as hard as it was is that Maverick wanted to avoid fighting them, and he only engaged them when he is simply left with no other options.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Top Gun: Maverick / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While he did indeed become an instructor at TOPGUN like he wanted at the end of the first film, Maverick mentioned that his tenure only lasted for two months. Whether he was reassigned or left of his own volition is not made clear, but his flyboy antics and Hot-Blooded attitude were only barely tolerated as a student. As an instructor, he would absolutely be held to an even higher standard, regardless of his dogfighting accomplishments in the previous film. Coyote suffers from G-LOC (Gravitational Loss of Consciousness) due to being hit with over 9 G's worth of pressure when practicing for the pop-up strike. It is not uncommon to temporarily blackout due to such pressure. It might also be the reason why he is not chosen to go on the mission. The F14: When Maverick plans to hijack the enemy's old F-14 Tomcat so he and Rooster can return to the carrier, it seems Maverick will have no problem flying it since it was the same plane he used in the 80s and many years after. Not quite. Since it's been decades since he last flew one and has gotten used to flying in modern aircraft, Maverick has to pause for a few moments as he tries to remember how to work the controls. Rooster and Maverick are able to take down two technologically superior fighter jets in their aging F-14 by using unorthodox tactics to even the playing field (see Rocks Beats Laser above), but when the third Felon catches them in the open ocean with no ammo or countermeasures, it has them dead-to-rights... thankfully, Hangman shows up just in the nick of time in his fully-loaded Hornet to save their hides. When Rooster finally turns on the F-14's radio and other electronics, he and Maverick can hear the radar warning receiver of an enemy radar locking them, but there was nothing on their radar screen. That's because the Su-57 is directly in front of them and is stealthy in the frontal sector. Also, the E-2 Hawkeye is able to detect the Su-57s because its lower frequency radar is better at finding stealth fighters. The stolen surplus F-14 has loaded guns and missiles and countermeasures. What it doesn't have is a functioning RIO eject seat. Either the new owners skimped on that part of the maintenance, that was precisely why it was in the hangar in the first place, or the pilots simply missed arming them in their hurry to get out of there. The F-14, like any post-WWII fighter, requires an extensive checklist to get it from cold and dark to ready to fly. Mav and Rooster skip all that and just do the bare minimum needed to get airborne in a hurry, but when they get up there they've got nearly no avionics because none of the circuit breakers are in place, meaning none of the equipment is powered up; the reason the checklists exist in the first place is to ensure something like that doesn't happen. It may also explain the ejection-seat issues above. Ejection seats contain a solid rocket motor that's safed on the ground, so they need to be armed as part of a startup checklist. Rooster is an Aviator, not a Naval Flight Officer, who came up through the fleet flying exclusively F/A-18 Super Hornets. Without his father's specialized training in operating the radar systems of the F-14 Tomcat, he's reduced almost entirely to being Maverick's backseat spotter during their flight in the stolen F-14. He also fails to arm the F-14's ejection seats before buckling in, which nearly has catastrophic consequences for himself and Maverick.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_3eed59a8	comment	Explosive Overclocking: Maverick's flight in the Darkstar requires pushing the experimental aircraft to its heretofore untested limits in order to reach Mach 10, so that up to that point the warning notifications in mission control and the cockpit are concerning but not exactly unexpected. Then he makes the mistake of trying to push it even further, with the result that he gets to Mach 10.3 before everything starts breaking and the plane goes down in flames. The high-G climbs in Maverick's attack plan require the planes to exceed their mechanical stress limits potentially making them unsafe to fly afterwards by simply practicing these maneuvers.

The mission to destroy the enemy uranium stockpile in the mountains succeeds with no casualties despite all odds, and Maverick and Rooster have reconciled their differences and both of them finally come to terms with Goose's death. However, Iceman has passed away from his throat cancer, and Maverick's flying days with the Navy are likely over, either due to him retiring or the numerous transgressions Maverick pulled over the years finally catching up to him without Ice to keep the Navy at bay. There's also the End of an Age implication that the days of TOPGUN itself are numbered, due to the increased interest in switching to unmanned drones slowly making manned dogfighting obsolete. But Maverick has at least been able to end his Navy career with dignity and retire happily to pursue a relationship with Penny. And regardless of whether or not TOPGUN is rendered obsolete, Maverick still manages to keep all of his students alive, who are all exceptional pilots with enough real world experience to lead a new generation of pilots even into an era of unmanned drones.

This makes him the first ace pilot of the 21st century, and the only American pilot, fictional or otherwise, to ever make ace flying an F-14 Tomcat. Honorable mention goes to the second Su-57 pilot, who gives Maverick the hardest fight of his life in the climax. In addition to flying a far superior plane than Maverick's F-14A, the enemy pilot is skilled enough to perform a Blinchik supermaneuver effortlessly to dodge Maverick's missile, then follows Maverick into the canyon below once he finds out that his missile guidance system doesn't work due to the nature of the canyon so he can finish Maverick off with guns. Even when Maverick manages to get behind him, the pilot really makes him work to take him down, and he actually manages to bail out once Maverick finally shoots him down. His efforts drained all of Maverick's ammunition and left him and Rooster sitting ducks for the third Su-57 pilot, who would've definitely killed both of them were it not for Hangman's I Got You Covered moment at the last second.

During the climactic dogfight, when Maverick utilizes the first Su-57 he shoots down as a shield against the second Su-57's missile, right before the missile hit the viewers could briefly see the first Su-57's pilot ejecting from his doomed aircraft.

At one point, Rooster adopts a slightly altered version, "Talk to me, Dad," when he is overcoming his hesitation and adopting the idea behind the first described Arc Words. "It isn't the plane, it's the pilot in the box." Throughout the film, several variations are heard on this, underscoring that they will be at a disadvantage due to their F/A-18's being inferior to the 5th-gen "Felons," and the difference will be who's piloting them. When Maverick and Iceman have a heart-to-heart talk, the latter insists that Maverick "must let go" of the past trauma concerning Goose's death and the guilt felt towards Rooster.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_74cd99f8	comment	While the film is overall better about this than the original, it retains the mistakes with treating fighter cannons like machine guns (as opposed to autocannon firing explosive shells that would have disintegrated a hit plane in less than a second) and absurdly close-range air combat. The latter is mitigated but not completely erased by the fact that the pilots are training for and then implementing an Airstrike Impossible in a mountain range at extremely low altitude: the already-airborne Su-57s would probably still have been able to engage from beyond visual range once they were alerted to the F-18s' presence. Also, while the use of CGI Su-57s is better than using F-5 Tiger IIs in Warsaw Pact livery and pretending they're MiGs, at time of release there were only six Su-57s in active service, all of them with the Russian Air Force (the plane had severe Troubled Productioninvoked due to Russian corruption and financial problems).

Being the very best pilot actively serving in the US Navy has also caused Maverick to be frequently deployed abroad and away from Penny, his longtime on-and-off girlfriend.

In real life the F-35C had only just entered limited service when the film was in production and wasn't available. Also, it doesn't come in a two-seat model like the F/A-18F, which would make it impossible to put Tom Cruise in a real plane (as in the original, they put him in the back seat of a two-seat aircraft with a camera mounted to the pilot's chair).

Maverick manages to shoot down no less than two "Felon" enemy fighters with a F-14 Tomcat he and Rooster stole in the enemy base. F-14s first saw service in 1974. The enemy planes (actually Sukhoi Su-57s) first saw service in December 2020 (they weren't even in service when the film's shooting wrapped up, and weren't used in actual combat missions until the Russian invasion of Ukraine shortly before the release). To be fair, one of the Felons was shot down by a complete surprise attack from Maverick from behind, and the other is lured into a canyon at low altitude, where its advanced radar is confused by ground clutter and it is unable to utilize its superior maneuverability.

An Airstrike Impossible against an enemy base, followed by escaping from the hostile territory by stealing one of the jets, then the obligatory dogfight against the enemy fighters (only this time there are three of them as opposed to six, except all of them are destroyed instead of a few of them bugging out). Also, the hostiles this time are flying Su-57 "Felons", which are planes way superior to the Hornets (and later a Tomcat) that the protagonists are flying, to the point that one of the reasons why the mission is as hard as it was is that Maverick wanted to avoid fighting them, and he only engaged them when he is simply left with no other options.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_8c96ae78	comment	No One Could Survive That!: Maverick is Born Lucky when it comes to surviving a plane crash. Admiral Cain even lampshades this by saying that despite his best efforts, Maverick simply refuses to die. The DarkStar completely disintegrates after reaching Mach 10.4 at insane altitudes. He had already traveled over the distance of at least the states of Nevada and Utah by the time the plane reached Mach 5 before turning around, and was somewhere over Idaho by the time it hit Mach 10.4 and broke apart. The immediate next scene just shows him still shell-shocked, walking into a diner, taking a moment to drink a glass of water, and then finally asking where he was. (To be clear, this means Maverick managed to jump out of an aircraft that was going over two miles per second.) Maverick gets shot down during the operation by Taking the Bullet for Rooster. The next scene shows that he was able to eject and activate his parachute, but he's none the worse for wear.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_8f0dc93c	comment	Dangerous Forbidden Technique: The escape plan involves a perilously steep ascent up the mountains that forces the engine into 9.5 G-force acceleration, risking both the plane's structural stability and the pilot's health due to the intense pressure. One of the pilots who tries it suffers a gravitational loss of consciousness and nearly crashes. Early on when training the pilots, Maverick uses the Cobra maneuver to quickly switch positions with a plane that's tailing him. This leads to a reprimand from Cyclone, as the maneuver is considered too dangerous to both the pilots and planes. The "Splitting the throttles" manuver Maverick uses to get his borrowed Tomcat to flip around the Felons in the climax is a real and extremely dangerous move, as it puts a lot of stress on the engines and runs a real risk of stalling your fighter if you aren't experienced enough to retain control while running with one engine active and one throttled all the way down.

They then banked on the enemy Su-57s to also mistake them for an allied plane initially so Maverick can take them by complete surprise to be able to defeat them in a far outdated plane.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_95ff52c7	comment	Guns Do Not Work That Way: During the dogfight scene, the sound of F-14's and Su-57's guns (actually rotary cannons) sound nothing like they do in real life. You can hear each individual shot being fired, whereas these guns usually fire between 4,000 to 6,000 rounds a minute and the noise they make is a continuous, roaring buzz. While this appears to be a case of pandering to uninformed audience expectations, the fact that the movie's autocannons are consistently shown as being low-powered seems to instead suggest that the film intentionally chose to depict aircraft autocannons as machine guns instead, and gave them a more machine gun like sound to match their low power.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_9aaf8eca	comment	Crippling Overspecialization: Maverick is subject to this, although it's clearly by choice. He's probably the best fighter pilot in the world, but being a fighter pilot is all he wants to be. It does impact his naval career. He's a Navy Captain, equivalent to an Air Force or Army full colonel. He's not serving in a position befitting his rank. A Navy Captain would be commanding ships, submarines, Air Wings, or entire bases, not serving as an instructor pilot. Maverick is, however, perfectly happy with that, knowing he doesn't have the administrative, personnel, or political skills to really succeed or be satisfied in any of those positions. It's made clear several times that his being close friends with Iceman, who has risen to be one of the top admirals in the Navy, has allowed him to stay in the cockpit. Iceman probably has been looking out for Maverick ever since they met, knowing Mitchell is ill-suited for anything other than being a fighter pilot (at which he is the best in the world).

It was later confirmed that China Lake was the filming site for the Darkstar program scenes. The country building an unauthorized uranium refinery is never named. It appears to be a vaguely Eastern European/Russian stand-in, with a motive closer to one Iran would have. The F-14s in their inventory further alludes to Iran, as they also have F-14s that were purchased under the Shah's regime and were appropriated by the new regime when he was deposed. (That said, the presence of Su-57s complicates things: at the time the movie hit theatres, there were only six in active service, and all of them were in the Russian Air Force.) The country being Russia is also enforced by a Freeze-Frame Bonus during the briefing prior to the mission's start that showed coordinates that is directly within Russia.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_a7850fbf	comment	Only Known by Their Nickname: The number of times that the pilots of Dagger Squadron are called by their real names could be counted with a single hand — at least once Maverick using Rooster's given and last name with rank in quick succession is meant to show how much it bothers him that Rooster is giving him the cold shoulder. As with the original film, Maverick is almost exclusively referred to by his call sign; it's a mark of her increased trust in and closeness with him that Phoenix calls him "Mav" during the final mission. The sole exception is his longtime on-again, off-again girlfriend, Penny Benjamin, who is the only one to call him "Pete". Averted with Bob, whose call sign is actually his real name. The enemy fighters (based on the real-life Su-57 "Felons") are not given a Reporting Name, they are only named "Fifth-Generation Fighters" or "Bandits" (regular nickname for hostile fighters).

Maverick points out to Cyclone that for most of the candidates, their only real combat experience consists of high altitude bombing runs beyond enemy reach and only Hangman has a confirmed air-to-air kill. Thus, he easily bests them all in the initial training exercise. Even Hangman's confirmed kill is noted to have been against a pilot in a substantially inferior aircraft.

Maverick's trust in him gives him the confidence he needs, and he ends up taking the shot that destroys the enemy facility despite sub-optimal conditions. Hangman: Phoenix informs us that Hangman got his callsign from his tendency to hang his wingman out to dry, abandoning them to go for the kill. He is humbled by not being selected to fly the mission, but ends up flying in support and saving Rooster and Maverick from an enemy fighter.

Maverick's face when he's rudely woken from his coma by an enemy Mi-24 attack helicopter. Even though his face is concealed by his flight helmet, the "Felon" pilot is shocked when Maverick suddenly takes one of the other "Felons" out in an old F-14 and again when he manages to get behind him in the Canyon. The same guy incites this reaction to Maverick and Rooster by performing a supermanuever missile dodge that leaves both of them in utter shock. Maverick, Phoenix, and Bob all have one at the same time during the bird strike scene. This is very much Truth in Television; having a bird hit your plane at high speed is basically the same as getting hit with a cannon shell. Aircraft have crashed and pilots killed as a result of bird strikes. Rooster and Fanboy both let out an "Oh my God" when the multiple SAM sites open fire on them during the final mission.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: While the film doesn't directly call attention to it, "Fanboy"'s flight helmet has his callsign lettered in the same font as Star Trek: The Original Series. If you pick that out, it's pretty obvious why he's nicknamed "Fanboy." The mission itself is essentially a real-world version of the attack on the Death Star in Star Wars: A New Hope — fly through a canyon to avoid heavy anti-air defenses and strike an underground facility through a target that's only a few meters wide. Rooster even forgoes using the targeting laser when it fails to lock on and achieves the hit blind, and Hangman pulls a Han Solo by gunning down the fighter that's just a moment away from killing our heroes. The enemy pilots also wear black, face-concealing helmets reminiscent of Darth Vader and the TIE pilots. The real-world inspirations for the Death Star trench run were the World War II movies The Dam Busters and 633 Squadron, which can also be considered influences on Maverick. After the Dark Star explosion, Maverick ends up in a rural part of the country in a strange flight suit, and when he asks where he is he's told, "Earth." A nearly identical situation happened to Yuri Gagarin after his famous flight. In the bar scene where Penny is introduced, the song playing in the background is "Let's Dance," by David Bowie. Her actress, Jennifer Connelly, starred with David in Labyrinth which, like the original Top Gun, also opened in 1986. Maverick lives in an old hangar, where he keeps his vehicles. Sound an awful lot like the title character of Dirk Pitt Adventures (who was also an Ace Pilot, albeit for the Air Force and then NUMA).

Top Gun: Maverick / int_c82e751f	comment	Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Played with. Maverick lays out the plan in excruciating detail, and strongly emphasizes how the plan is almost impossible. It will require "two miracles", he says, and the training backs him up. And even then, there's a conspicuous point where they accomplish their main objective and have to fly back through a hurricane of SAMs, which there is no plan for and they might not even survive. Rooster pulls off a different second miracle when the originally planned miracle doesn't work out, and in the ensuing furball Maverick sacrifices himself to save Rooster, then Rooster goes and returns the favor, leaving them both stranded in enemy territory to have to make a daring escape. This was not part of the plan at all, and they are only able to accomplish said escape by improvising frantically, and because Hangman becomes The Cavalry, but the end goal of completing the mission with their entire team alive and intact is successful.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_ce1c73e2	type	Just Plane Wrong
Top Gun: Maverick / int_ce1c73e2	comment	Just Plane Wrong: While the film is overall better about this than the original, it retains the mistakes with treating fighter cannons like machine guns (as opposed to autocannon firing explosive shells that would have disintegrated a hit plane in less than a second) and absurdly close-range air combat. The latter is mitigated but not completely erased by the fact that the pilots are training for and then implementing an Airstrike Impossible in a mountain range at extremely low altitude: the already-airborne Su-57s would probably still have been able to engage from beyond visual range once they were alerted to the F-18s' presence. Also, while the use of CGI Su-57s is better than using F-5 Tiger IIs in Warsaw Pact livery and pretending they're MiGs, at time of release there were only six Su-57s in active service, all of them with the Russian Air Force (the plane had severe Troubled Productioninvoked due to Russian corruption and financial problems). The Watsonian reason for the F-35C Lightning II not being used is that the target is protected by GPS jamming. This is a fairly threadbare excuse: the F-35C is quite capable of using the same laser-guided munitions that were employed in the film, and its stealth features would make the approach significantly easier. The Doylist reason is that the F-35C is unsuitable for filming actors in a real aircraft: all the shots of the pilots "flying" their aircraft are of the actors in the Guy in Back seat while an actual Navy pilot flies the plane from the front seat, and no version of F-35 comes in a two-seat modelnote A few foreign buyers including Israel have proposed creating a two-seat F-35A, but the US Navy is the only customer for the navalized C variant: only the US, France, and China operate CATOBAR aircraft carriers. Additionally, the Navy couldn't spare any for filming since they had only entered service in February 2019. As awesome as the "Blinchik" supermaneuver looks, it probably still wouldn't let the 5th-Gen. fighter dodge the missile fired by Maverick and Rooster's stolen F-14, considering a normal heat-seeking missile would also be packing a proximity fuse. Even if the SU-57 did manage to avoid the missile fired, all this maneuver would have done is set Maverick up for a picture perfect gun kill. The guns are straight out of World War 2 depictions of aerial combat. The guns on actual aircraft are set up to only fire a few rounds with each squeeze of the trigger — and also fire so quickly that, if you just held down the trigger, you'd run out of ammunition in about half a second.

Top Gun: Maverick / int_d45c0b86	comment	Refuge in Audacity: The plan to steal the F-14 involves Maverick and Rooster walking up to the enemy base and taking the F-14 by acting like they're pilots from the enemies' side. Maverick even tells Rooster to walk so that look like they belong instead of running around and looking confused. This is helped along by the utter chaos of the airfield having been carpet-bombed by a missile barrage, so their approach is obscured by smoke and crews too busy trying to extinguish the fires to pay close attention to a couple of pilots. Once he and Rooster are in the air, Maverick tries to bluff a pair of enemy pilots into thinking he's on their side, only for one to pull a sign-countersign that blows their cover.

From ruthlessly dead-aiming them in dogfight exercises to flying at low altitude through treacherous canyon passages at high speed, to making an extremely perilous high-G ascent up a mountain that pushes the operational limit of their plane and risk the pilot themselves blacking out mid-flight, Maverick pulls absolutely no punch.

However, Iceman isn't just doing it out of loyalty to his friend; he genuinely believes that the Navy needs pilots like Maverick. Once Iceman dies of a long illness, Maverick gets shitcanned with extreme prejudice by Cyclone, until he demonstrates that his crazy plan to succeed in the mission can be done, by illegally doing it on the training course.

This culminates in an incident where one pilot almost crashes due to G-LOC during the high-G pullout; Maverick helps him recover in the nick of time to avoid a crash by locking onto his plane in the hopes that the lock-on alarm will rouse the pilot, only for another member of the team to suffer a bird-strike and lose their plane, though both pilots did manage to eject. This is immediately followed by Iceman succumbing to his cancer and Maverick being grounded due to the aforementioned training incident. By this point, the team in general and Rooster and Maverick in particular are at their lowest ebb. In the final battle, Maverick is confronted by a third Felon, but is unable to defeat it due to being out of bullets and missiles, and Rooster is unable to eject.

Maverick ejects from the Darkstar after he pushes the hypersonic jet to its literal breaking point past Mach 10. Phoenix and Bob eject after their plane suffers a bird strike and is critically damaged. Maverick and Rooster eject from their F/A-18s after being shot down by enemy SAMs in the finale. During the final battle, both Su-57 pilots can be seen ejecting after they were shot down by Maverick. The first in a Freeze-Frame Bonus right before it was hit by a missile, and the second after its engines get shot to pieces by Maverick's cannon fire. Subverted when, faced with an enemy Su-57 about to lock onto them, Maverick tells Rooster to eject from the enemy F-14 they hijacked. It turns out that the F-14 doesn't have functioning ejection seats (and presumably for this very reason, was abandoned in a hangar despite being airworthy and armed. That or the pilots failing to arm them since they didn't do a proper pre-flight inspection or checklist.).
