Iceman became Maverick's guardian angel who protected Maverick and restored his standing every time the Navy wanted Captain Mitchell court marshaled or expelled. Yet Admiral "Iceman" Kazansky never forgot how Maverick saved his life at the end of Top Gun, after which Iceman and Maverick remained close friends. Iceman parlayed that success into a distinguished Navy career where he became a four-star Admiral and Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet. In Top Gun, Tom "Iceman" Kazansky won the Top Gun trophy and was first in his class in 1986 (Maverick was second). Top Gun: Maverick honoring Iceman and Val Kilmer was one of the best parts of the film. Maverick used his own plane to shield Rooster and was shot down. Every Navy F-18 had flares they used to divert enemy missiles but Rooster ran out when he was being targeted by an enemy plane. Then the dogfight began when the enemy launched SAMs and scrambled fifth-generation fighters to intercept Maverick's squadron. All of the pilots' training paid off and they achieved the steep 9.5-g climb without colliding with the mountain. In spite of their laser malfunctioning, Rooster sight-checked the target and successfully hit it, destroying the underground uranium facility. Similar to how the Death Star was destroyed in Star Wars: A New Hope, Maverick reached the 3-meter target and blasted it on target to create the opening.ĭagger 2 picked up speed and made it to the target. They had 2 minutes and 30 seconds to fly low through the canyons, beneath the enemy surface-to-air missiles, and reach the target. Hangman (Glen Powell), who wasn't picked, was dejected and was on standby on the aircraft carrier flight deck. He chose Phoenix (Monica Barbaro) and Bob (Lewis Pullman) to be "Dagger 1" with him while "Dagger 2" was Payback (Jay Ellis) and Fanboy (Danny Ramirez), with Rooster as his wingman. Maverick was assigned to lead the mission to destroy the underground uranium facility.
