This hero flight suit was worn by character "ICEMAN," portrayed by actor Val Kilmer, in the 1986 motion picture, Top Gun. The USN flight suit has "Iceman 2" handwritten on the inside label. PLEASE NOTE: The period blue Lacoste® shirt and call sign name patch are for display only and were not screen used. They were purchased to match the film ones exactly. Throughout the film the continuity on all the fighter pilots suits was somewhat inconsistent. This suit can be seen in the closeups during the dog fights as it has an arm pocket flap (Mavericks also did.) In other shots his suit can be scene without the pocket flap when ICEMAN has his pen stored on his sleeve.
Some expected usage/wear due to age and filming, but otherwise in very good condition. Flight suit comes complete with full documentation.
I would be open to loaning my Top Gun memorabilia to a military base / museum for display. Please contact me if interested.
TOP GUN (1986) Paramount Pictures. Directed by Tony Scott.
Dare-Devil navy pilot Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station known as TOP GUN for advanced pilot training. Here he vies with Tom Kazanski (Val Kilmer) for the coveted "Top Gun" award. While battling Kasanski (call sign ICEMAN), Mitchell falls for his flight instructor civilian consultant Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly Mcgillis). Shaken up by the death of his best friend and copilot GOOSE, Mitchell loses focus and ultimately the Top Gun honor to ICEMAN. Worried that he may have lost his nerve, Mitchell is given a chance to redeem himself during a tense international crisis involving a crippled US vessel and a flock of predatory enemy MIGs. Top Gun scored with audiences in 1986 on the strength of its visuals, especially the vertigo-inducing aerial sequences, becoming the highest grossing film of the year.
