F/A-18 and not the F-22? I guess it’s difficult to get enough available F-22’s to make a movie. Most are in state of readiness throughout the world whereas the F/A-18 can be more easily made available without jeopardizing national security.

The movie is like the first it takes place in the US Navy. The F/A 18 is what the USN flies these days.

The Navy doesn’t use F-22s.

Similarly, few authentic MiGs make it into movies. They usually substitute F-5s or some such - just as the AT-6 is the universal WWII radial-engined fighter.
Baa Baa Black Sheep did not wow me entirely, partly because the F4U Corsairs were wallowing around, to let the Texans keep up.
