Revealing mistake: During the dogfight scenes, they show the pilots of the F-14. In the visor, you can see the reflection of an A-6 instead of an F-14 being used. Turns out, they dressed up some A-6 aviators as F-14 aviators for the shots.

Revealing mistake: Tom Cruise is placing his right hand on the cockpit canopy during an ACM training. The Rhino takes 2 hands to fly at all times unless you are in a straight and level flight. Since they were in ACM and his hands were on the canopy, this tells you that Tom Cruise was actually in the RIO position of the aircraft.

Suggested correction: It does not take two hands at all times. The throttle can be set for short periods, allowing the aircrew to brace themselves against the canopy to turn around and look behind them.
True IF you are in straight/level flight. They were in ACM at the time which would require both hands on stick and throttle.
There's a former Navy pilot on YT that confirms this.
Confirms that a pilot can or can't fly one handed like that scene?
