(saw the opening on Twitter again, the F-35s don't have the gun pod. I suspect it isn't ready for carrier ops yet, or at least at the time of filming.)

M61 Vulcan

The M61A2 Vulcan appears as the secondary armament of the F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornets flown in the film. The M61A2 is a lightweight version of the original M61, with thinner barrels and lighter materials originally developed for the F-22 Raptor and used by the F-22 and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The M61A1 version is seen on a legacy F/A-18C Hornet at the Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (TOPGUN) school and on an enemy F-14A Tomcat commandeered by Maverick and Rooster in the film's climax. The F-14A flight sequences were done with CGI due to the fact that all airworthy F-14s in the United States had been gutted and shredded due to fears of their parts getting to Iran via the black market. The actual Tomcat that was used for filming is BuNo 159631, which is on display at the San Diego Air and Space Museum.
