Factual error: Shortly after our hero ejects you see the pilot flailing around trying to pull the ejection handle. In a Navy aircraft with two crew, the NATOPS manual (Naval Aviation Training and Operations Manual) clearly states that the seats must be set in the "command eject mode". This means, regardless of who initiates the ejection procedure, the rear seat goes first, followed by the pilot 1/2 later. There is no need for the pilot to pull the ejection handle.

Question: During the missile scene, dropping fuel tanks causes the tanks to explode. Wouldn't that be impossible in real life?





Answer: Totally impossible. You can throw a lit cigarette into a pool of jet fuel and it won't ignite.
