Trivia
Two Lockheed C-130 tails were shown during the loading scene, both aircraft first flew in 1962. The first, 149814, was converted to a tanker and was lost in a midair collision in Viet Nam on May 18, 1969. The second, 150688, was also converted to a tanker and flew until it was removed from service in 2002 and is in storage in the boneyard at Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona.

Goofs
When the airplanes were starting engines and taxiing out, the airplanes shown were C-130's which are powered by turboprop engines, jet engines connected to a propeller. The sound played during the start and taxi sequence was that of a reciprocating engine usually associated with a WW II bomber.
