Good post and entirely true.

BTW I think they used an F-5 unless you're talking about the "simulated
MIGs". I think those were A4s.

ButIcouldbetotallywrong about both.

After reading the many previous posts, it is obvious that the flashing
green doesn't have a definitive answer. The flashing green system
really doesn't help if everyone thinks it means something different.

No, the flashing green in British Columbia has a definitive answer (see
http://www.icbc.com/Licensing/PDFs-C...7%20ch8web.pdf for the
answer if you really care to know). Just people are posting what a
flashing green in their area of the world means, or they are posting
what they think a flashing green means or they are posting what a
flashing green used to mean years ago. What else would you expect when
you ask a question in a newsgroup?

Q. What type of plane did they use for the MIG in Top Gun?
A1. The F-14 shots in that movie were great.
A2. Are they ever going to make a Top Gun II?
A3. They weren't real MIGs you know.
A4. They were Spitfires with a special paint job.
A5. I flew a F-4 during my service, that was the best plane they ever
made.
A6. A MIG 29 could shoot down a F-14 any day.
A7. Could not.
A8. Could too.
A9. Not.
A10. You can ride a MIG for a few $10,000 in Russia.
A11. Cruise did a better job in Rain Man.
