ProductioneditBackgroundeditThe primary inspiration for the film was the article Top Guns by Ehud Yonay, from the May 1. California magazine, which featured aerial photography by then Lieutenant Commander Charles Heater Heatley. The article detailed the life of fighter pilots at the Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego, self nicknamed as Fightertown USA. Numerous screenwriters allegedly turned down the project. Bruckheimer and Simpson went on to hire Jim Cash and Jack Epps, Jr., to write the first draft. The research methods, by Epps, included an attendance at several declassified Top Gun classes at Miramar and gaining experience by being flown in an F 1. The first draft failed to impress Bruckheimer and Simpson, and is considered to be very different from the final product in numerous ways. Actor Matthew Modine turned down the role of LT Pete Maverick Mitchell that went to Tom Cruise because he felt the films pro military stance went against his politics. The producers wanted the assistance of the US Navy in production of the film. The Navy was influential in relation to script approval, which resulted in changes being made. The opening dogfight was moved to international waters as opposed to Cuba, the language was toned down, and a scene that involved a crash on the deck of an aircraft carrier was also scrapped. Mavericks love interest was also changed from a female enlisted member of the Navy to a civilian contractor with the Navy, due to the US militarys prohibition of fraternization between officers and enlisted personnel. The Charlie character also replaced an aerobics instructor from an early draft as a love interest for Maverick after producers were introduced to Christine Legs Fox, a civilian mathematician employed by the Center for Naval Analyses as a specialist in Maritime Air Superiority MAS, developing tactics for aircraft carrier defense. Rear Admiral Pete Viper Pettigrew, a former Navy aviator, Vietnam War veteran, and Top Gun instructor served as a technical advisor on the film, and also made a cameo appearance in the film as a colleague of Charlies. Former Top Gun instructor pilot and Congressman Randy Duke Cunningham claimed to have been the inspiration for Pete Mitchell, although the films producers have denied that the character was based on any specific Naval aviator.
