A Question About Dogfighting in Top Gun
Posted on 8/2/14 at 10:02 am

I figure we've got enough OT badassess and real military flyboys to answer this.
When Maverick and Hollywood are up against Viper and Jester, they both break off and engage Jester while Viper flys off. Maverick breaks off and goes after Viper. Hollywood eventually loses the engagement to Jester and he sneaks up on Mav and Goose and gets them.
So my question is: What should Maverick had done there? If he stays covering Hollywood, what's to prevent Viper from getting on their tails and taking them both out?

The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.
Also. You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead.

Well, at that point all he has to do is let him get real close then slam on the brakes and he will fly right by

I dont know the answer to this but I do know that my 4th grade teachers husband flew in Top Gun. His dad owned an air service company in Houma.

That's pretty frickin important for this argument.

Short answer, if he stays with his wingman and Viper comes back around, one can evade while the other falls back and engages Viper.

You never ever leave your homo erotic volley ball game to go meet a lesbian.

Ever heard of the book by Robert L Shaw, "Fighter Combat". It's not light reading, but it gives you ideas on how a 2v1 fight should occur. From setup thru engagement to break-off.
