Northrop F-5F Tiger II
Portrayed as fictional "MiG-28" fighters, these aircraft are painted in fictional gloss black paint schemes with Soviet-esque roundels on the tails. They are claimed to carry Exocet anti-ship missiles, but are only shown with AIM-9 Sidewinders.
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.

Grumman F-14 Tomcat
The main feature in this film is the Tomcat, the U.S. Navy's Air Superiority Fighter.

Used as the 'enemy' aircraft at Top Gun.
Behind a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk (wearing on its fin the badge of the Fighter Weapons School), four F-14 Tomcats and in the distance lots of aircraft: at right in front of the hangar, two Skyhawks - at least one two-seat - and three North American T-2 Buckeyes (white and red); at left of the flag, Skyhawks melt with BAe/McDonnell Douglas Harrier IIs.
