Trivia
This was a mockbuster of Top Gun: Maverick (2022), which was first intended to be released in 2019, and then rescheduled to June 2020, before being rescheduled to December 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and then again to 2021 before being delayed to 2022. Because of the numerous delays, the mockbuster saw home video release two years before the movie it was meant to cash in on had a scheduled release date.

Goofs
The pilots are Air Force cadets in pilot training flying F/A-18 Hornets. The Hornet is not used by the Air Force. They're used by the Marines and Navy.

Quotes
Colonel Herring: I often wonder, what would have happened, had Lassen and his men, landed in another training base. But luckily, they landed in mine.

Just a cheap copy of an upcoming blockbuster

Yes, a Top Gun remake (or sequel?) was scheduled for summer 2020. Apparently this did not stop the producers to quickly push their own mock version of Top Gun to the market. Market? What market? All Top Gun veterans from the 1980's wouldn't come close to this cinematic crap let alone watch it and the Millennials don't know what the heck this is. So who is this movie intended for? Beats me.

Also, Eric Roberts seemed to follow in Nick Cage's footsteps by accepting virtually every script that winds up in his mailbox. No matter how bad it is. Seems neither two have a reputation anymore to uphold.

The producers were also snotty and bold enough to keep "Top Gun" in the release title, which is surprising. So if you love amateur acting, plot holes, anachronisms, goofs, errors, visual mistakes and clueless directing, then you came to the right picture. Everyone with a bit of cinematic taste should avoid this though as it will cause eye cancer, bleeding from both ears and uncontrollable vomiting.
