\n15.<\/strong> The advisors agree that a person can\u2019t give themselves a call sign. Pettigrew\u00a0recalls one poor fellow who did just that with the call sign \u201c\u2018Shark,\u2019 so of course he was known as \u2018Minnow\u2019 for the rest of his Navy career.\u201d<\/p>\n19.<\/strong> The earlier shot of Maverick and Goose flying upside down just a few feet above a MiG is obviously unrealistic, but McCabe does share that American pilots were known to \u201ccommunicate\u201d back and forth with their Soviet counterparts. They weren\u2019t flipping each other the bird though. \u201cIt was always very positive,\u201d and included holding up vodka and Playboy magazines. \u201cThey\u2019re doing their job, we\u2019re doing our job, we don\u2019t set the policy, we just execute it.\u201d<\/p>\n27.<\/strong> The elevator scene between Charlie and Maverick was shot five months after production wrapped when they decided the characters\u2019 relationship needed to be strengthened. McGillis is wearing a hat because her hair was different due to filming on a different movie, and even Cruise\u2019s hair is noticeably longer. \u201cKelly had lost like 60 pounds and Tom was actually shooting Color of Money<\/em>,\u201d says Scott, so they had to shoot the scene in Chicago. They did some pick-ups for the love scene then as well.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
