    So many vomit stories

    There are some great stories about the production in this doc, from how they worked to the navy to how almost every actor threw up when they went up in the jets. The most interesting stuff for me was the post production information, like how the editors had to work to build the aerial parts of the story in the editing bay by combining random parts of different sequences.

    The whole thing is broken down into sections so you get stories about the writing, obtaining a technical advisor, and even a bit about the article it was based on before the cast really comes into it. If you're interested about what goes into a movie and not just the stars, this is well worth your time.
