Who was the only actor from the original Top Gun NOT to vomit during their time in fighter jets?

Here’s something that will take your breath away: Flying in an F-14 Tomcat. These bad boys can reach a Mach speed of up to 2.34, or roughly 1,795 miles per hour.
When Top Gun first came out in 1986, it was not the cultural powerhouse it is today. Mixed reviews kept it from seeing as wide an initial release as it otherwise would have, but the high-flying stunts (and 9x platinum soundtrack, of course) reeled audiences in, ultimately turning it into a $357 million behemoth.
In order to film those scenes, real jets with cameras mounted on them hit the skies. While the actors didn’t get to fly the jets, because that would be insane, they did get to do some riding. In many of the shots, actors are actually in the back seats with legitimate pilots doing the real work.
But that kind of speed isn’t for everyone. In fact, it’s hardly for anyone at all. Of all the actors from the original Top Gun who actually got to fly in jets, only one made it out without tossing their lunch. Who was it?

Correct Answer: Anthony Edwards
The answer is: Anthony Edwards. Top Gun is one of the most iconic movies from the last 50 years, in no small part thanks to the jaw-dropping stunts and aerial maneuvers captured on camera. Actors spent real time up in the air with trained pilots in fighter jets to accomplish these dizzying shots and experienced some extreme consequences. Every actor who went up in a fighter jet wound up vomiting eventually, except Anthony Edwards, who apparently had guts of steel. Source
