It's not very vivid in my mind, but I remember the very early sequence of a civilian training flight in an open cockpit aircraft. They flying along sedately, until the instructor looks around and becomes aware that they are surrounded by military aircraft with unfamiliar national markings. I especially like the slight edge in her voice as she says "I have control" and GTFO. It's part of the quite nice pacing of the film from peace-time on Sunday to the middle of a war.
