Is Top Gun Based on a Real Story

Well some of us may know that in May of 1983, one of the very famous articles titled ‘Top Guns’ authored by Ehud Yonay was published in California Magazine. It mainly talked about ‘Fightertown’ U.S.A, a prominent pilot training institution at Miramar, San Diego. It can be said that it is a mirror of the history of the US Navy. It was very clear that Maverick was a very daring kind of a guy who is a risk-taker and likes to push it right to the edge, but eventually probably ends up putting himself in trouble.

The story found its climax when he faced one of the most tragic accidents. That made his confidence evaporate like ethanol. The character even being fictional found its roots not one but a fusion of a lot of events that happened in real life. It reflected the bond that pilots generally have with each other, the fatal issue with the F-14 Tomcat, and many more. Today, nearly after Thirty-five years of the original movie, the sequel hits us back again with Tom Cruise, who is back as Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell where he goes back to where he started his life when he dodged an advancement in rank and hence the story takes us back to its foundation with more real-life events framed and molded in the form of another great sequel of the all-time greatest action movies.
