Scene 39
- We're in a smoky and, it appears, very warm briefing room. Our old friend Stinger is telling the pilots about a situation.
- A ship has wandered into hostile territory, and the pilots will be providing air support.
- There are enemy planes near, and they're carrying dangerous missiles. The pilots are to fire if they "witness a hostile act."
- Iceman and Hollywood are going up first. Maverick will be on standby as backup.
- As the men begin to file out, Iceman expresses some reservations about Maverick.
- Stinger knows Maverick is okay, and tells him: "I know what's on your mind Kazansky just get on it."
Scene 40
- In a throwback to the opening scene, we see planes taking off (probably Iceman and Hollywood).
- As the Top Gun theme plays, Maverick walks over to his jet, checks his missiles, and gets in, waiting for takeoff.
