Clarence Gilyard Jr. played Sundown in the movie "Top Gun" in 1986.
Nobody; the F-14 "Tomcat" has only one pilot. But his Radar Intercept Officer in the movie "Top Gun" was "Goose".
Sundown
Cougar is the callsign of the top pilot in the squadron at the start of "Top Gun". When the flight is jumped by Russians, he is abandoned by his wingman, Maverick, and believes he is going to be shot down. He becomes catatonic at the controls and must be talked back to the carrier by Maverick. He gives up his combat position out of concern for his family, making Maverick the best pilot in the squadron and the only choice to go to Top Gun training.
No. He's actually too short to be a US army pilot.
