99% of acrobatic manoeuvres are only show.
In Top Gun the sliding of the Russian Airplane is just show.
In reality Air to Air missiles are heat seacking rockets and German Luftwaffe Pilots the worst in NATO. There are three ways to avoid an Air to Air Missile. Being no target to begin with by blending into the geography which works great for radar head missiles.
Using heat flares and a turn to distract the headseeking head or changing speed very shortly before the rocket hits having her pass by.
This row is also the level of Pilot skills needed and Germans are out.
Top Gun exists. Giebelstadt Airfield was one home to the Program. Landing on an Air Carrier is practiced on land, obviously. The area was low passing practice territory in NATO more challenging than Canada.
Hollywood movies are often more realistic than some Egos allow themselves to be...
They also won't tell about the constant Nazi and Racist slurs and attacks against U.S. personal that often ended deadly for Germans.
