Mistakes
After the final dogfight scene when Maverick and Iceman have landed, we see their two F-14 Tomcats spotted (parked) on the flight deck of the carrier. In the background, you see aircraft already spotted on the fantail (back of the ship) with several blocking the direct path of any aircraft landing on the carrier. While the aircraft directors and blueshirt crews would be fast in moving aircraft, they would not have had the time to spot and tie down all those aircraft on the fantail before Maverick and Iceman had finished parking their jets.

Trivia
The MiGs in the movie are actually all F-5 Tiger, an American plane that it uses as a trainer & sells to other countries. In reality, there is no MiG-28. It is just an F-5. See more...
