But no singing scene please. It was ok then but has been beaten to death in movies and tv since then. Usually a sign that the show is scraping the bottom of the barrel for gimmicks and hasn't got anything original for the audience to laugh at.

the country they land on has old F14s or something in the hanger and they bust them out and kick ass and save the day. I can definitely see this. {some problem/conflict] Mav: 'But we have to do something!" Wise old sympathetic indiginous type "Come with me" Cut to wide shot of an old hangar as the doors are slid apart. Inside are two large object covered with tarps The tarps are pulled off revealing a pair of Tomcats Mav gives a knowing glance to his sidekick Duck Mav "Can they fly?" Cue after-burner takeoff and a shot of Mav with a wide smile
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Probably they'll go the route of some extreme sport. Rock climbing or the like.

My plug for a script: It's 2019. Turkey was kicked out of NATO and formed some sort of alliance with Saudi-Arabia and Russia (as "silent partner"). The Iranian President has always secretly been a pro-western secularist, and manages to start a coup that get's rid of the theocratic leaders, which results in a short, but intense civil war, which makes Iran firmly pro-Western, but also weakens its military considerably. Premise: Saudi-Arabia and Turkey try to seize the opportunity by dealing a heavy blow to Shia Islam, and are on the brink of invading Iran. The US and NATO can not really intervene due to their ties with the Saudis, and for fear of an escalation with Russia. Nevertheless, a Carrier battle group (with a MEU attached as a further deterrent) has been deployed to the Indian Ocean near the Persian Gulf. Story: Maverick is commanding NSAWC at NAS Fallon, very close to retirement. He is supervising his last "Top Gun" class, with Goose's son being just as difficult as Maverick himself was and so on. The class is now a mix of Navy and Marines pilots, with the Navy still flying Super Hornets and the Marines already transitioned to F-35's. There will be tension between Goose's son and some other hotshot but arrogant pilot over yet another hotshot female pilot, and Maverick has to set his head straight on several occasions. Mid-movie Volleyball game. Shortly before the class is concluded, the pilots are being recalled to the Carrier battle group in the Gulf because tensions are high. A joint Saudi/Turkey operation against the newly pro-Western Iran is imminent. Meanwhile, we learn that Iceman had left the Navy and is now working with a contractor that is upgrading Iran's remaining F-14's to Super Tomcat 21 status. When the Saudi-Turkish Alliance launches their assault, the pilots of the Carrier battle group begin engaging their aircraft. Unfortunately, a Russian hacker group managed to introduce a virus into the F-35 computers, making them inoperational. Maverick, who had been visiting Iceman in Iran convinces Ice to join him leading a flight of Iranian Tomcats (and their rather inexperienced young post-coup pilots) to cover for the F-35's protecting the MEU and their sector. They arrive in the nick of time. Of course they succeed, and when technicians finally manage to get rid of the virus, the F-35's join the fray, and a Turkey shoot (pun alert !!!) begins. They win, Saudi-Arabia and Turkey lose 95% of their air forces and have to sue for peace. Maverick and Iceman fly off into the sunset with the Tomcats. Roll credits...to 80's rock music. Awesome! Take this to Hollywood haha, love it.

Usually a sign that the show is scraping the bottom of the barrel for gimmicks and hasn't got anything original for the audience to laugh at. Ok, the scene will be canceled, as will be the Beach Volleyball scene. Instead, there will be a 5 minute scene at the NSAWC's Officer's Pilates class (one of the last all-male bastions in the Navy). Maverick will be teaching the class. Happy? Are you guys saying that Tom Cruise doesn't sing just as good as Freddy Mercury?

THAT they can carry over. They need to have an homage to Tom Skerritt. And I want Michael Ironside still around busting Mavericks balls.

Since Iran operates the only flyable F-14's and then only a handful of them to be sure, it's unlikely that there will be any F-14's flying in the new movie

Sounds like they are coming from the same place we are with their treatment of it which is promising. Its being scored by the same composer so that's outstanding! I liked Tom's answer, "There's going to be jets...there's going to be jets....there's going to be jets." Yes please. Jets, noooooo drones! I'd love for them to pay homage to Skerritt and Ironside and McGillis and Tolkan. They wouldn't have to be big just small little nods to them sewn throughout the movie would be awesome. I also like the name! It sounds like they are trying to be classy and not cheesy with the vision and that makes me happy.

Actually, Tom Cruise was reluctant to answer the interviewer's 'Will there be drones?' question. Still, I remain hopeful.

They should have made it a prequel revolving around Maverick's father, Duke Mitchell, serving aboard the Oriskany in Vietnam with Viper. As the Topgun program started in 1969 there's no reason why it couldn't be included. I think this is a damn fine idea! Hopefully they will implement your idea after this sequel, but a prequel idea is a mighty good one!
