Arthur Everett Scholl
(December 24, 1931 – September 16, 1985) was an American aerobatic pilot, aerial cameraman, flight instructor and educator based in Riverside, Southern California. He died during the filming of
Top Gun
when his
Pitts S-2
camera plane failed to recover from a
spin
and plunged into the Pacific Ocean. Scholl, 53,
[1]
had entered the spin intentionally in order to capture it on film using on-board cameras. Observers watched the plane continue to spin as it descended past the planned recovery altitude. Scholl's last words over the radio were "I have a problem‚ I have a real problem,” after which the plane impacted the ocean about five miles off the coast, near
Carlsbad, California
. The exact cause of the crash was never determined.

Neither the aircraft nor Scholl's body were ever recovered.
