Top Gun is the name of an elite class of the navy's top 1 percent of fighter pilots. Despite disobeying orders, Maverick (Tom Cruise) saved a life, and he and his best friend Goose (Anthony Edwards) are promoted to Top Gun. In the class is rival fighter Ice (Val Kilmer) and his friend Slider (Rick Rossovitch), and thet're all taught by Viper (Tom Skerritt). The civilian instructor is Charlie (Kelly McGillis), who Maverick tried to hit on the previous night, not knowing who she was.

Maverick's father was also a fighter pilot missing in action and he's there because he has something to prove.

Charlie is attracted to Maverick because of his ego and how he breaks the rules. She's a few years his senior, but they begin a romantic relationship. During a maneuver, Goose is killed in an accident, which Maverick feels is his fault and he loses confidence. The court clears him, and Viper, who knew Maverick's father, tells Maverick he died a hero, and Maverick needs to get back in there.

Ice wins trophy as top pilot, and Maverick congratulates him, but they have to stop the celebrations short to fight in actual combat. Mavrick steps up and wins for the team, and he and Ice are no longer rivals.

The same issue had a Don Martin strip about the movie as well

And there were different covers for the Mexican edition

And the German one. The American MAD had a similar cover with Hulk Hogan around the same time and a Rambo parody in another issue. They must have been in this issue.
