Maverick’s Hangar

From wiki:

In the early 1930s, an emergency landing field had been built by the Works Progress Administration in the Mojave Desert near the small town of Inyokern, California. Opened in 1935, the field was acquired by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in 1942. In November 1943 it was transferred to the Navy, which established China Lake as the Naval Ordnance Test Station (NOTS).

Darkstar & Angel

--

SR-71, the real-life model of the Darkstar was disintegrated while flying Mach 3.2 which killed one of the two people who were on that aircraft. I wanted to think that a Mother Goose became the guardian angel for Maverick so he can be safe and also his son can have someone in his life.

Books/Documents in Maverick’s Cabinet

The rest of the books are too small/thin to identify. I’d guess couple of them might be motorcycle manuals? Might be visible when the DVD/Blu-Ray comes out later this year.

Maverick’s Airstream

Exterior

Interior

=> Airstream Globetrotter !!

Size of the airstream:

This really is hard to tell just from the movie footage, but based on the fact that the Microwave can be installed starting from 27ft size, I’d guess maverick has 27ft model

Conclusion:

=> Airstream Globetrotter 27FB !!

Maverick’s Test Pilot Plaque

- 412th Test Wing Captain 2006

- 412th TW - 412th Test Wing [https://www.edwards.af.mil/About/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/393902/412th-test-wing/] : The 412th Test Wing plans, conducts, analyzes, and reports on all flight and ground testing of aircraft, weapons systems, software and components as well as modeling and simulation for the USAF. Located in Edwards Air Force Base, which is quite close to the Mojave dessert where Maverick’s hangar is located

- 412th MXG - 412th Maintenance Group (as engraved on the wall plaque) [https://www.edwards.af.mil/News/Article/828899/412th-mxg-collects-four-majcom-awards/412th-mxg-collects-four-majcom-awards/] :  Through a maintenance group of over 2,000 people and an operations group of 3,000, the 412th Test Wing maintains and flies an average of 90 aircraft with upwards of 30 different aircraft designs and performs over 7,400 missions (over 1,900 test missions) on an annual basis.

---

>> I would guess Maverick has been a test pilot before 2006, and he had some opportunity to work with 412th Test Wing / Maintenance Group in USAF, and the wall plaque was given to him as commemorate gift from 412th MXG

マヴェのトレーラーハウス、以前TLでエア.ストリームじゃないかという知見を得たのでフロアプランとか漁ってたらこれが近い気がしてきました。

以前TLでエア.ストリームじゃないかという知見を得たのでフロアプランとか漁ってたらこれが近い気がしてきました。

ドアが外開き左勝手でドアの左側にシンクがあったよね確か。これはドアが右勝手だから微妙に違うけどまあまあ近いのでは🤔

追記：後日確認したら右勝手左外開きだったので、同じタイプでした。
