F-14s have departed from controlled flight after one engine stalls, and entered a flat spin. Yes, the scene in Top Gun was somewhat based on real events. A few F/A-18s have been lost due to issues with single-engine performance. The F/A-18 doesn't have as much issues with asymmetric thrust, single engine flight isn't always possible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Virginia_Beach_F/A-18_crash https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Virginia_Beach_F/A-18_cra...
