It was a movie making decision. The flight scenes are not flown by the actors. Instead they are in the back seat while actual pilots fly them.
The f-35c is a single seater. The Navy isn't letting actors fly their jets. So the only choice is the super hornet.
The f-22 is an air force jet, not Navy. Top Gun is Navy. The f-22 is also single seat.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoI've not seen the new movie but Miramar transitioned from Naval Airstation Miramar to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar a couple (?) decades ago. So now I wonder what they did in the movie.
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoIsn’t the super hornet the more common navy jet anyways? Yes, the navy has a few F35s, but their bread and butter are F18 super hornets.
- fakethenews2022 4y agoYes more common.
