Gambit would know, but would Navy pilots test USAF planes? Got a feeling that Maverick won't be testing a darkstar but stealing one.From what I remember, that the SR-72 was suppose to be a testing probably at the beginning of the movie. The F-14 which as you saw and does look like the F-14 and remember in first trailer at the end there was an F-14 being shown. So they are bringing it back for nostalgic reason.
Yeah but the problem is that the F-14 which only the Iranians have is going up against the Russians which doesn't make sense unless its stolen and flying towards Russia or near them. I don't know. Probably changed the plot and decide to make some changes.
And the shot with the su-57 in the background surely can't be from an f-14 which are twin seaters (unless we're somehow seeing from the back of the pilots seat). The angle of the wing is wrong where it meets the fuselage, an f-14 in swept back mode has a straight line from the wing tip through to the wing glove/fuselage. But I could be wrong.
