I was a stude doing the combat phase of the F4 OCU when the film came out. Our course watched it and had a laugh at some of the sequences. I did get to use one of the "moves" many years later. On exercise, trying to find an EF111 over the North Sea, we managed to get visual with the Raven and proceeded to prosecute an unlocked guns attack, as they kept chucking the radar into a corner. After successfully filming the "kill" we passed them with a lot of overtake, inverted, communicating with "the bird". Just because we could.
