Moron Top Gun

Goose states airspeed 300. Next scene (7:12) shows front seat panel. Airspeed is 0. Altimeter is set 20.32 showing 31480 ft, with red flag. Radar altimeter showing 0. Climb/Descent indicator showing beyond 6k ft/min down. Engine instruments showing "not running" barber pole tapes. Bingo fuel is 300, total fuel is 2800. DIANE display shows slight left bank, back-up artificial horizon is spinning wildly.  Maverick is playing with the left engine compression bypass controls for "lock on baby, lock on."

Cougar's fuel state (9:50) Aft&L 1200, Fwd&R 1500, L external 1200, R external 1600. 5500 total. Lots of gas!

Cougar's instruments showing same readings as Mavericks at 10:04.

Maverick's fuel state (10:46) Aft&L 900, Fwd&R 1500, L external 1200, R external 1600. 5200 total. Still lots of gas, and he's managed to gain 2400 pounds since the encounter with the MiG-28's!

Not sure why the externals are showing nearly full when the internals are quite depleted.
