Wasn’t it loosely based on the movie “The Great Santini”?

Craig T. Nelson received familiarization rides in USAF jets at Edwards Air Force Base during the filming of the series, including flights in the T-38 Talon, the F-4 Phantom II, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. On one particular flight in the F-16, the aircraft suffered an electrical failure. Nelson and his pilot prepared to bail out, however, the pilot was able to safely land the aircraft.


Don’t remmember it.

My dad loved it. We’d sometimes get a Jack in the Box Dinner in the Box to eat while watching.
