Negative it was Maverick's wild flying. He got to close to the other plane's jetwash, and lost control.
Maverick's attack profile, while aggressive, was not reckless. The flat spin induced by intersecting the aggressor's wingman's jet wash could not have been reasonable predicted, nor avoided. The complete lack of manuverability while in a flat spin was beyond the pilot's control. The altitude of the engagement, likewise, had no bearing on the fatality. Maverick is therefore cleared of liability and returned to active flight duty!
That's EXACTLY what I was going to say!
Palin's Goose
... it was a aircraft malfunction. That was clearly depicted on the slow motion scene in the movie, the windscreen did not clear before Goose's ejection seat fired.

...He cooked his Goose!
I think it was a revenge killing, like the lizards in Australia.
mmmmm -- lizards!!!
