Trivia: British news channel Sky News features prominently in the film. Sky News and 20th Century Fox (the studio that produced the movie) are both owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. (more)

Goofs: Factual errors: When contacting the Admiral via radio, Burnett says he ejected at Mach 3. The Super Hornet's (VMAX) maximum speed at level flight in altitudes of 36,089 ft. is Mach 1.6, so Burnett's description is inaccurate. (more)

Quotes:
[talking to Burnett on the radio]
Admiral Reigart: Burnett!
[pauses]
Admiral Reigart: Zero-six, you've been shot down, life is tough. You're a combat aviator, start acting like one. Remember your training, put some angles between you and your pursuers. Evade and survive, and we will bring you home. You got that? We will bring you home.
