>F/A-18 won
But they shot down the sukhois with a F14

That maneuver is useless for dodging missiles, air to air missiles don't need to get even close to a direct hit to destroy. In reality missile would have gone boom right here and the plane would have been wrecked

iirc they filmed the sequence in an L-39 and added the F-14's intake and wings in post
>also the SR72 sequence was flown with an F/A-18

Do fighter pilots even engage in dogfights these days?

Scientology won.

The existence of proximity-detonating missiles is too big brained for Hollywood.

couldn't film in the backseat if there is no backseat

>why didn't they cast the fat girl in the hot lifeguard role?

Because the ocean has enough whales my friend.

nope, maybe in ukraine but I have no idea how much of it is real or how they done it

they needed a plane that would perform and not just eat money
