If they're going to do this, then it needs to be legit. Don't ######-foot around, swing your dick and tell the real story.
Charlie (D-CA): Fired from her civilian contractor job for having an inappropriate relationship in the workplace. Completely unqualified for government work...elected to congress.
Hollywood: Minimal focus in combat, maximum focus on appearance...Chief of Naval Operations
Wolfman: The nav who thinks he got a raw deal in ROTC. Finally, selected to attend Flight School. Washed out. Got his private's and now runs a mock dogfight business in the Mojave desert.
Cougar: Flipping burgers since 1986 to pay off his tuition repayment. Recovering meth addict.
Merlin: Progressed to the rank of LCDR and is still a nav in Hornets...one of two in a squadron of 150. Mostly prints/chums charts all day.
Iceman: Never got over his combat freeze-up where the #2 guy had to save his ass. Recommended for separation after visiting Life Skills. Crawled inside a box of Twinkies and never came out.
Slider: Dishonorably discharged after popping positive for the juice on a CO-directed drug test. Soon after, murdered by a Terminator while in bed with his girlfriend Ginger.
Jester: Sim instructor... Vance AFB. Best hook rate 10 years running.
Viper: Retired. Can be easily found jamming up traffic at the main gate while trying to find his ID since he (like all retirees) figures that 0730 is the most advantageous time to swarm the gate for his daily BX/Commissary/Class-6/MPF run.
Goose: New SII: Crews will ensure they are not in a flat spin prior to ejecting. New NATOPS warning: WARNING: Ejecting during a flat spin may result in fatal injury. New boldface: EJECTION: 1) FLAT SPIN - NOT IN (BOTH) 2) EJECTION LOOP - PULL. His story beat to death during safety stand-downs.
Maverick: Went VFR-direct to the Guard at the first opportunity.
Classic...

I'm pretty sure the script has him as an F35 test pilot. Filming has already started at LM in Fort Worth.
Thats Legit... LM in Fort Worth filming has began... Late Summer 2013 release...
In March 2012, it was revealed by Tom Burbage,
Lockheed Martin F-35 program manager, that the
F-35 Lightning II will be used and to be flown by Maverick as a test pilot in the sequel.

Tom Cruise steps onto the tarmac – cool and confident in his flight suit and dark aviator glasses. While his co-stars still call him Maverick, this isn’t
Top Gun and that’s not an F-14 fighter plane. This is
Top Gun 2, and the fighter plane he’s getting into is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) – the most expensive weapon program ever, which is slated to be the mainstay of the U.S. Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps for decades to come.
Hollywood is going back to "Top Gun" school with its upcoming sequel to the 1986 film, but hotshot pilot Maverick won't be flying any killer robot drones. Instead, Tom Cruise is set to return in the starring role as a test pilot for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter — a plane that could well be the last manned fighter aircraft made in the West.
