Not quite ....
Under Siege movie was not based anything like Final Flight (bar take over of UsN warship and use nukes) ..no writing credits to Stephen Coonts
The appearance and subsequent destruction lol of CH-46 Sea Knight ( actually civilian Columbia Helicopters KV-107) , and there was no AH-1 but a CHI of an Ah-64A escorting another Sea Knight (which Captain Garza says it’s a CH-53E lifting off with SEAL reinforcements).
Thr F/A-18 pilot laughingly doesn’t appear to wear an LCJ lol!
Under Siege novel is good reminds me of Tom Clancys Clear And Present Danger about the drugs war. Jake is still a Captain and battling narco terrorists on the streets of the capitol. Interesting enough there’s an character in the book , an undercover narcotics cop called Harrison Ronald Ford a.k.a Zizzy.
cheers
