The pilot might've been Adm. Willard, he recently retired as the Commander, U.S.Pacific Command. During the time the movie was shot, he was the operations officer and executive officer of Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) and aerial coordinator for the movie. But I agree with most posts on here, the movie has alot of technical errors. Those that have been around the Navy and Naval Aviation can easily point those out. But it was a great recruiting tool...got me to sign the dotted line many years ago. :-)
