Unlike Top Gun, Flight Of The Intruder shows how a naval aviator behaves as an officer and leader. The Example being an CPo McRae brings to Jakes attention an issue regarding Hardesty (Aviation boatswain) marrying a Filipino and Jake deals with it like any divisional officer would.
I do like the music score by Basil Pouledris ...at the beginning and throughout the movie especially when they flying to target.
i wish they made the sequel to the book, Final Flight into a movie. It’s all about intrigue set in the late 80s state back (it’s assumed to be Libya) terrorists taking Nimitz class carrier hostage in the Med, with our hero Jake Grafton now as CAG.
Cheers
They did make a film based on Final Flight, except the carrier became a battleship and Grafton became Steven Seagal....They even named the film after a Coonts book as well!!! (CH-46, AH-1 and F/A-18's being only aviation content).
