There’s a new Top Gun movie coming out. And Maverick is wearing the same leather jacket - only this time it’s Communist Party of China-approved, so the Japanese and Taiwanese flag patches are gone (screenshot on right is from the new trailer)... pic.twitter.com/gUxFNFNUKX

Some useful context here, btw, for those unfamiliar with what Mark was pointing toward. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I would be interested in a naval fighter pilot explaining this but they are clearly different patches. The differences could imply where they are flying out of and possibly what their patrol is. #notafighterpilot pic.twitter.com/yUPT03WxVf

Good catch, it's a different patch altogether. They could still be kowtowing to China, but the patch isn't really evidence.

I think Disney should have bought Top Gun and made a live action version.

It can't be helped. China bought up all the Hollywood studios. Movies that violate the will of the Chinese Communist Party will be blocked. It is a comedy that a dictatorship that massacres its own people and purifies minorities interferes with the culture of a free country.

Not explained--why LT Pete Mitchell c. 1986 would have been wearing a cruise patch from a CG deployment that occurred when he was a toddler.

His father was a fighter pilot who died under unknown circumstances. Perhaps it was intended to be his?
