The movie 'Top Gun', which is a masterpiece of Tom Cruise and is also a big hit in the sequel 'Top Gun Maverick' released after more than 30 years. The script was written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr., but producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer were inspired by an article published in a magazine three years before the movie was released. I have stated that I have received a ration. That is the description of the 'Top Gun course' in which Israeli writer Ehood Yonei trains fighter crews, centered on two pilots, and he himself boarded the fighter and participated in dogfight training. It was a report 'TOP GUNS' that I did.

In the movie 'Top Gun,' Tom Cruise's pilot, Captain Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, and Anthony Edwards, Naval Flight Officer Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw, are the U.S. Navy at the Miramar Navy Air Base. Trained at the Fighter Weapons School (NFWS: commonly known as TOP GUN).
In May 1983, three years before the movie was released, Mr. Yonei published an article entitled 'TOP GUNS' in the magazine 'California magazine'. The contents are the outline until Captain Alex 'Yogi' Narkis and Captain Dave 'Possum' Curry of
Dave 'Bio' Baranek, who was also a Navy pilot and later an air combat instructor for the movie 'Top Gun,' took Yoney's report to the cockpit with 'incredibly vibrant text.' I went. '
According to Mr. Yoney, Captain Yogi and Captain Possum were initially given lectures and briefings, but soon began to practice one-on-one air combat with the instructor, and then practice and practice two-on-two air combat, starting from the start. A month later, he began flying at an altitude of 500 feet, which was supposed to evade enemy radar in the Mojave Desert. Captain Yogi and Captain Possum completed the course for about a year and returned to the 1st Fighter Squadron.
Mr. Yonei himself actually participates in the Top Gun course dogfight. Citizens were not allowed to board the F-14, so they boarded the F-5 , with Captain Yogi and Captain Possums F-14. When taking off in the rain and flying in the white clouds, Mr. Yonei said, 'There was almost something close to sexual pleasure,' but when the dogfight started, he felt like an observer. I decided to experience G, which was blown away, I couldn't breathe, and my eyelids were heavy. After experiencing the 'classical aerial technique' for about 30 minutes, Mr. Yonei has only a fragmentary memory and a feeling of being physically tortured, while he said that it is the most difficult to fly upside down. The technique I was thinking of was an impression that I couldn't beat it.
In this dogfight, Mr. Yoney couldn't pick up the camera or follow his opponent's F-14 with his eyes, 'I've never felt so useless in my life.' I have left the impression.
The flight lasted about an hour in total, and after it was over, Mr. Yonei had sore muscles throughout his body that he couldn't even crouch, was exhausted, had some nausea, and just wanted to sleep. According to him, it seems to be the hardest at first, so I want to go again. '

Mr. Yoney died in 2012, and Mr. Yogi 'laughed at the strength of the interview, praised the dynamic of the article, and lost the opportunity to celebrate the origin of the movie' Top Gun '. I'm sorry. '
