As some of you know, I am a helmet collector :D and especially a flight helmet collector.

I recently received my Nick Peterson "Goose" patch, and wanted to showoff my US Navy Tomcat pilot costume (well, it's not really a costume, as everything on him is real except the helmet, which is a converted US Navy HGU-33/P helmet to the Goose design).

My next goal is to get the Maverick helmet to make a set. Anyone has one for sale? ;)

I believe you can still order that Maverick Helmet from Flight Suits. The company in San Diego that made them for the film.

Not on their website but if you ask they can do it. Not cheap, but there it is.
 
You've got Naval Aviator Wings with USAF Captain's shoulder rank and an ACC patch... well, I think they look like Navy wings because they're gold and the shape of the taper (at least the way MARDON does them).

;-)

Good eye :)

Yup, I have my USAF flight suit and patch on this guy. I have my USN flight suit with the Tomcat patch on another mannequin. I was lazy to change out the whole SV-2B and LPU setup :)

One other small thing the the squadron designator is wrong. VFA is F/A-18's (Legacy and Rhino's) for Fixedwing Fighter Atack. All of the F-14's had "VF" designators. :D

Well, TOP GUN is a fantasy movie :D
 
Well since it's Christmas I'll admit to having a soft spot for the film Topgun.



Someday I'll eventually source a green MBU-12/P mask to go with it.
 
Got to admit I am a Top Gun freak also. Working on Mavericks Dress Whites and full Flight Gear almost finished. Just trying to find a LPU-21.

Nice Maverick helmet. May I ask how much did it cost?
 
Goose's Name Badge is Blue and Red like Mavericks. Flightsuits did the original Helmets for the Movie but the original Crew that taped the Helmets and Painted them are long gone. As far as accuracy I dont know if I would chance having them do your Helmet, plus the price would be around $1,500. Drop me a PM and I will give you the e mail of Chris Womack who did my Helmet, he has the original Paint numbers which he got direct from Flight suits. He did RKW's Helmet.
