However, it is actually Viper, the commanding officer, who allows Goose and Maverick to attend Top Gun by turning in his wings, thus paving the way for them to take on the challenge. This moment emphasizes the importance of mentorship and the passing of the torch in the naval aviation community.

Nobody; the F-14 "Tomcat" has only one pilot. But his Radar Intercept Officer in the movie "Top Gun" was "Goose".
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.

These details enhance the authenticity of the film and reflect Maverick's long-standing career as a pilot.
