Miles Teller Shares Tribute to Top Gun: Maverick Flight Instructor Killed in Crash

As someone who has had the immense privilege of witnessing Miles Teller’s growth as an actor, both personally and professionally, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of sorrow at the loss of Chuck Coleman. The man was not just a flight instructor for Top Gun: Maverick, he was a mentor, a friend, and a beacon of expertise that guided us through the intricate dance of flying jet planes.


In a touching tribute, one of the leading actors in “Top Gun: Maverick,” Miles Teller, acknowledged the flight instructor who taught him the essentials of flying a jet plane for the successful sequel. Regrettably, Chuck Coleman, a pilot instructor, lost his life during an exhibition at the Las Cruces Air and Space Expo in New Mexico. Coleman was a key member of the team that prepared the cast for “Top Gun: Maverick,” the 2022 blockbuster featuring Teller and Tom Cruise. After the unfortunate incident, Teller used X/Twitter to express his heartfelt gratitude towards Coleman’s dedication during the training process for “Top Gun: Maverick.

As a fellow movie buff and aspiring Top Gun pilot, I’m deeply saddened to say farewell to Chuck Coleman. He was more than just our aerobatics flight instructor; he played a crucial role in shaping us into the pilots we are today, preparing us for the challenges of Top Gun: Maverick.

According to Deadline’s report, the ongoing investigation by authorities continues, as the pilot involved, Coleman, was an exceptionally skilled aviator with a knack for intricate aerial maneuvers and boasting over 10,000 hours of flight experience. In response to the incident, Mayor Eric Enriquez of Las Cruces has spoken out.

Regrettably, we experienced a heartbreaking conclusion to our Air and Space Expo over the weekend. During Sunday’s show, an unfortunate aircraft accident occurred, claiming the life of pilot Charles T. ‘Chuck’ Coleman. Our sincerest sympathies go out to the family and admirers of Chuck Coleman during this difficult time.

Charles Thomas ‘Chuck’ Coleman Sadly Passed away Last Sunday

The incident occurred at the weekend’s spectacle on Sunday, specifically during Coleman’s aerobatic performance. Witnesses were taken aback as they watched the plane plummet towards the earth, however, it wasn’t until the next day that people learned it was an experienced test pilot behind the controls who sadly lost his life instantly. City authorities posted this message on Facebook:

It’s with great sadness that we announce an unfortunate incident at the 2024 Las Cruces Air and Space Expo. During a performance on Sunday, pilot Charles Thomas ‘Chuck’ Coleman, hailing from California, lost his life in an accident.

Due to Tom Cruise, Miles Teller and Glen Powell being busy with other projects, there hasn’t been much information about the sequel to Top Gun recently. The latest update we’ve received is from Glen Powell who mentioned that he has a scheduled date for filming on Top Gun 3.

At present, we have no information regarding the plot, characters involved including Cruise reprising his role as the rebellious flight instructor Maverick, or any details about his return. Given Powell’s recent career growth, it seems plausible that he might be assigned a significant role in the series moving forward. It’s possible that he could team up with Teller, who played Rooster, Maverick’s nephew-like figure. As of now, all we can confirm is that Top Gun 3 will undoubtedly increase the tension, as that’s the style Tom Cruise favors.
