* An enemy base has a massive pop-up barrier in place to prevent enemy airplanes from flying in below their AntiAir defenses (which is, admittedly, awesome all by itself). Shin manages to fly through a gap in the barrier by folding his wings in-flight (in RealLife, the F8 Crusader really could fly with the wings folded, as only a small outer portion of the wings folded up for storage.)

* The rebel sniper was certainly awesome in shutting down Area 88 in the anime. Although if he had an anti-material rifle, he'd cause much more damage.
