I thought the steel was being delayed after Paramount learned that the airplane profile on the cover was of an F-15 and not of an F-14, not because of the steel back you're pointing to. The fighter on the back is neither.From the tiny mock-up of the back I'd be hard pushed to spot the difference between the two planes - apart from the different shaped cockpits - but if it's really that important to warrant a change for movie accuracy plus a five months delay then yes TC's TOP GUN (1986) plane was the F-14
It's got nothing to do with being a better or a worse plane. They didn't compete against each other, you have to go a little deeper than that. The F-14 was a Navy fighter, the F-15 was an Air Force fighter. Their roles were quite different.- in US service until 2006 (introduced in September 1974 and retired in September 2006 with the last one built in 1991) but the F-15 pictured on the steelbook (1972 - present) is acknowledged to be a better plane - something that might explain its longevity compared to the 'Top Gun' F-14 plane:-
It's actually not a Hornet, but a Super Hornet. They sound alike but are not the same.The plane in the remake (F/A-18 Hornet):
The delay is almost certainly due to Maverick being delayed until late December. I doubt they’re going to change the art.I thought the steel was being delayed after Paramount learned that the airplane profile on the cover was of an F-15 and not of an F-14, not because of the steel back you're pointing to.

But overall I kind of agree. For accuracy sake they should change the profile, but is it that important that it warrants months of delay? I don't think so, maybe, meh. I think I could live with the Eagle on there, it's not like the others featured are better (already mentioned that earlier in this thread or others). For example, you google better than whoever picked that profile at Paramount, so someone should get fired.

The longevity of the Tomcat, or lack thereof, wasn't due to it being a bad plane, more likely due to its production cost and complex maintenance.

I don't know if Google Translation will work, but...
It's only the steelbook that got postponed to DecemberThe delay is almost certainly due to Maverick being delayed until late December. I doubt they’re going to change the art.
it wasnt an attack you know I like you and your pics. feel free to show us all the mistakes, it's interesting.I don't know if Google Translation will work, but...
I am also a designer. And I love movies.
It's important to design it beautifully, but above all, I think accuracy should come first on the movie cover.
