Corrected entry: One question. If they are to maintain 'Radio Silence', as Gene Hackman's character mandated shortly after the F/A-18F is shot down, why then do they continue to talk on the radios non-stop?

Corrected entry: When Burnett is talking to the admiral over the radio, he explains that he ejected while doing Mach 3. He must have switched planes because the Hornet's top speed is nowhere near that.

Correction: They maintain radio silence until Burnett reaches the rally point and informs the carrier of this fact. However, the situation then changes, and he NEEDS the (infrequent) radio exchanges so that he knows what to do next.
