Yes Art Scholl was the person I thought of, flying in the Cessna 150 Aerobat that was somewhere labelled as a 152 Commuter (but isn't the blue and red checker-livery and the two roof windows unique to the Aerobat versions?). Btw the other plane wasn't that a Decathlon? (and the last a Tomahawk with the pilot wearing a old fighterhelmet

).
I also think the stunt-flying in the canyon sequence is fantastic, one of the best around, that I've seen that is. Although the nose-wheel crash was so fake, and the full flaps clearly showing the plane would dust that bike in real life (or they might've just moved slowly for safety reasons).
I do think that it's quite strange that he could only fly good with music in his ears, even if it's a movie just for entertainment then that's far out, but then again a group of teenagers boosting a pair of fully armed F-16s is also far out so...

Btw, isn't it illegal or at least a bad idea to have music playing while flying? Aren't you supposed to monitor the aviation radio all the time? I've seen in plane-magazines ads for radio and CD-players, like in a car, not for navigation or such.
Btw back to Top Gun, to my knowledge that manouvre Maverick does with the heavy stop is actually real according to what I read, invented during the Vietnam war, but if it's really real then it's it dangerous? He might get rear-ended.
Speaking of stuntflying then I read the guy in the Spitfire that nearly give that presenter a haircut also did stuntflying for old war-movies, like flying an old plane under a small bridge etc. but I can't remember his name, however I think to remember it said his son was also a stuntpilot. The Spitfire clip is in my permanent archive though

I don't know what it is with fly-bys or how often it happends but I remember my fly-by in the Cardinal, I was surprised that when I retried that in FS2004 in a 172 that it barely pulled 1.5 g because my head felt like concrete when he pulled up, I was sure it was at least 2g. Ok back on topic.
