Agreed. Top gun pilots just lose control and eject, apparently.Hats off to the pilot for hanling it well.

It is Top Gun Canon that USN jets lose control and must be ejected from, if they lose one of two engines. There is apparently no NATOPs procedure to save the fighter…

There is no kill like a guns kill, apparently…
In Top Gun land, BVR missiles do not exist…

"Mav's in trouble. He’s in a flat spin, he’s heading out to sea."
Seriously though, the demo bird looks really good this year. Kudos to the team that designed and painted it.
Who wants to watch a missile fire and disappear, only to watch a blip on radar disappear also? BVR missiles are awesome but boring in a movie.

Wait a minute... we actually have a Canadian Forces CF-18 Demonstration Team, and it's not called the 'Snowbirds'?

If by "team" you mean one jet, then yes.
But I guess if you're talking about personnel, then yes it's a team.
