Actually, I believe they are pretty serious about those types of things, ceilings, rules of engagement, etc.
But hey, it is fun to watch. I forget where I read it, it might have been in “Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot”, where the author describes fighters mocking and making fun of the “cartoonish” “Top Gun” movie, yet...they all love it.
o yeah, i totally agree about the seriousness of that type of thing, i simply think it was in the script rather than being a real life eventlike i said, it wasn't a documentary but an IMAX Red Flag movie so liberties were taken
