Re: Top Gun; Mikoyan MiG-28 (fictional)
The Mikoyan MiG-28 (NATO reporting name unknown) is a fictional aircraft in the 1986 movie Top Gun.

As depicted in the movie, the MiG-28 pilots excelled in masking their true numbers on enemy radar by flying in extremely close formation.

F-5 aircraft were disguised for the movie for use as MiGs by being painted black with red stars on the tail. While the identity of "the Enemy" is not revealed in the movie, it is often assumed to be the Soviet Union or another nearby Communist state such as North Korea.

Re: CINC & E-Ring; the only real problem with these types of shows is that the actors go out in public really believing they are the experts they portray in the shows; a la recent comment by Donald Southerland. And, they really don't want real military advisors on the payroll because the producers/ actors learn quickly how stuck on stupid they really are.
