Everything We Know So Far About Goose's Son in Top Gun: Maverick

It's been a while since the original Top Gun came out, so a quick refresher is probably in order. In that film, Goose is the Radar Intercept Officer flying with his best friend, Maverick (played by Cruise). During a training exercise, in which Maverick flies recklessly to try to beat his rival Iceman, their plane goes out of control. Both men eject, but Goose hits his head and is killed instantly. Maverick's grief and sense of blame for his friend's death play a big part in his character arc for the rest of the movie.
