Someone who either has an eagle-eye or is the biggest fan of the movie Top Gun ever to live has spotted something very interesting.

CCTV, a broadcasting station in China, recently did a report on their country’s air forces. The report includes various shots of their aircrafts and even a quick look at a training exercise in which a jet is destroyed by a missile.

Unfortunately for producers of the show, this eagle-eyed super fan (named Liu Yi) points out that the Chinese J-10 fires off its missile and it hits an American F-5 jet…the very same taken out by a one Mr. Tom Cruise in Top Gun, interestingly enough.

You can see a video of the original CCTV newscast below, as well as a second video from the Wall Street Journal that shows the footage side-by-side with Top Gun for everyone to make their own judgments.
