So Pete Mitchell and Rooster get shot down together over enemy territory. They see an F-14 or such sitting in a hanger loaded up with gas/ammo and ready to go. They steal it. Come on.

Haven't watched the movie, probably won't ...

They see an F-14

Were they in Iran? That's the only country currently operating the F-14.

You mean an action movie had a totally implausible scenario?? CMON!!!!

Yes, it’s a made up movie. Most people don’t really expect reality unless it says something like “based on actual events” or “depicts actual events”.
