Top Gun is about the training of the Navy's best fighter pilots and their blooding in cold war incidents, and the only thing Director Tony Scott has not brought up to date is the story.

The Pentagon estimates that at the Tripoli military airport the U.S. took out five Il-76 transports and caused major damage to several buildings. Defense officials admit that damage to the Sidi Bilal facility was less than they had expected...
