I watched some videos on YouTube talking to past instructors @ the Navy Fighter Weapons School as to the accuracy of the new TG: Maverick movie. They said, one it's a movie, not a documentary. They said a lot was accurate, some for theatrics. But they also think the newest generation of fighters may be some of the last manned fighters. Lots of things are pointing toward building remotely-operated or autonomously-operated fighter craft. With the current technology operating the Global Hawk, Reaper, Predator drones, it probably wouldn't take much to make a fighter unmanned. Think of the movie "Stealth," but without the smart-aleck AI.
