To mark the imminent launch of the much-loved production, Tom Cruise posted on his Twitter account a video in which we can see him flying a real plane.

With a camera mounted in the cockpit of an F / A-18 and aimed directly at Cruise’s face, the actor fights with acceleration forces as he shoots the plane over a mountainous landscape. Tom Cruise confessed that he wanted to make a sequel to “Top Gun” only if he had the right story in the script, but also if the technology would allow the script to fit perfectly into the rules of the present. And this is what happened.
