Film Top Gun: Maverick

[Ish]

"Maverick - Bogey 60 miles out....Juke right!" Maverick goes in slow arching turn to not increase RCS and escapes radar detection.

"Maverick target installation 80 miles out - straight ahead!" Maverick opens bay doors - "Magnum - On track" fires Harm AGM-88G at target from range and adopts stand off position waiting for missile to strike.

Edge of seat stuff!

The flying scenes were superb I must say. I'm assuming most if not all of them were real and involved minimal CGI?

Yeah, they had to CGI the Tomcat scenes.

Yes all the F-14s are CGI, all the enemy planes are CGI, test plane once off the ground is all CGI.

I probably enjoyed the movie more when I thought there were fewer effects, so perhaps like a magic trick I should be happy. I mean finding out didn't change my enjoyment, it was way later.
