Photos From "Top Gun"
As you can see its a repainted F-5, painted black for the enemy MiG. they made it up as the 28 because there is no way for it to be real, sense all MiGs are odd numbers. But as you can tell, it is a real airplane, but its not a real MiG. but it is a real MiG? what?....
also, heres the F-14
Here it is!

Test F-14
Test MiG-28
But the MiG-28 is a real MiG because it is a real plane... confusion. Also, I’m making taking Tol Gun and replacing flying shoots with SP @Numbers
test - both planes

Wow that was about the most of topic I’ve ever seen! Lol @AerialFighterSnakes
The Mig-28 was a Northrop F-5E Tiger II painted to look like a mig (or maybe that’s exactly what the military wants us to think). Btw, I know this is off topic, but I’ve always wanted to walk into a classroom while blaring “The Red Army is the strongest” (aka, White Army, Black Baron). I think doing that would be epic, even though I might get glared at by the teacher.

@F104Deathtrap oh not all of it, thanks!
@ACEPILOT109 I think they used the number 28 in reference to the MIG-29 Fulcrum which was the most feared Soviet fighter at the time (we hadn't yet learned to properly fear the unholy terror that is the Su-27). I figured you knew all this stuff but I posted anyway in case anybody here was curious. Nice Tiger by the way, probably one of the most under rated designs to come out of the 1950's.
Ah yes, I’m quite familiar with the real program, and thanks! Also, does that mean the MiG-28 is a real plane? Or is it fake? Because it is real?@F104Deathtrap
You can learn about the history of the real life Top Gun program here.
Long story short, in the old days, US pilots weren't trained to dogfight and it was a disaster over Vietnam. So the Navy opened a dogfighting school and used American planes painted as Soviet ones in mock dogfights. The Northrop F-5 was the American stand-in for the Mikoyan-Gurevich MIG-21. When the movie TOP-GUN was made, the film makers used footage of the real-life instructors flying their Soviet painted F-5's and called them "MIG-28's"
It’s a MiG-28
Or is it?
@edensk
F-14 cockpit is looking a lot better! I'm excited to see what is looks like at the end.
Nice Tiger
