Product Description

" At the Navy's ""Top Gun"" school, the best of the best are separated from the rest in one of the most intense training regimens on earth. High above the western deserts, the most promising pilots in the world battle to find out who has what it takes to be an ace. TOP GUNS is an inside look at the school made famous in the Tom Cruise blockbuster. But the real story is far removed from Hollywood's glamorous version. Take to the skies with aspiring aces for a first person view of the training exercises that forge a new generation of dogfighters. Meet with instructors who reveal what separates an ace from a regular pilot, and see how the regimen has been refined over the years. Graduates recall their difficult days studying the tactics of the greatest pilots of all time, and applying them in mach-speed, real-life drills. And intense footage captures the speed and skill, danger and daring of the students who go to the edge of the envelope in the hopes of becoming TOP GUNS."

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Documentary, February 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Top Guns, Vol. 2: Bombers (DVD)

This was a wonderful and informative documentary on bombers since the beginning of aviation. There is much information that I did not know that is exclusive to this DVD. The back cover shows a B1 Bomber but there is virtually no footage of this plane. This was a dissapointment but you will see the B 52, F 111, and many others including the stealth B2 bomber. Your only mistake in buying this DVD is that for a few bucks more you can have the 3 DVD set in a collectors case for less than the price of the three together. It includes bombers, fighters, and attack aircraft.

I reccomend this to any aviation lovers because of the content and exceptional price. It is only in 2 channel audio for all you home theater buffs. IMAX please come to the rescue.

Two thumbs up from a private pilot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent overview, January 8, 2004

By	Steve Adcock (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Top Guns: Attack Aircraft (DVD)

This DVD provides a decent overview of attack aircraft, dating back to 1910. It includes interviews of pilots of the time and original video of early flight. At the end, it analyzes the future of attack aircraft and emphasizes stealth technology as the main driving force.

I didn't give this DVD 5 stars because I was looking for a little more depth into more recent attack aircraft, but that was a personal grievance and is not a criticism of the quality of this DVD.
