Dave Berke, a retired Top Gun instructor, rates the action scenes in "Top Gun" and "Top Gun: Maverick."

He talks about being an effective wingman, piloting an F14, firing missiles, effectively navigating jet wash, getting out of a flat spin, and how ejector seats work in "Top Gun," starring Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Anthony Edwards.

Then, he breaks down the ways a modernday F/A18 Super Hornet differs from an F14, how Top Gun students train for dogfights, the physical effects gravitational forces can have on fighter pilots, the best ways to fight against radarguided missiles, and how pilots land on aircraft carriers in "Top Gun: Maverick," starring Miles Teller, Glen Powell, and Jon Hamm.

Berke spent 23 years in the Marines Corps as a fighter pilot. During this time, he flew the F18 Hornet, the F16 Fighting Falcon, the F22 Raptor, and the F35 Lightning II. He is currently the chief development officer at Echelon Front.
