The scenes are nicely done anyway...Never go Dogfighting a Zero ... specially in an F14 hock: ...
I watched the video again and those are not Texans. In fact, I remember seeing and interview about this movie not long after it came out (I was an 18 year old new Airman in the USAF) and those zeros (Yes Zeros) were owned and flown by the then Confederate Air Force. In fact, the scene where the F-14 does a barrel roll and makes that big dive?.... was unscripted. The pilot almost lost control of his acft and very nearly crashed.
Sorry, but those zeke's are rebuild texan planes, period (I will eat my old hat, if I'm wrong). They are leftovers from the Tora, tora, tora movie (the attack on Pearl Harbor - 1976).
