-the same navigator having a personal dislike of the station commander due to them being shot down together in Bosnia
-some unpopular rich pilot killing himself in a car crash.
I thought it was pretty good even though some of the plot twists did seem a little predictable.
If my memory serves me right, there was some aerial shots of (supposedly) the same ac, but the Sqn badges and ac number kept changing! Continuity man must have got a shoeing .... or am I too close, Maverick?
