The United States Navy has built three new top-of-the-range fighter jets called ''F/A-37 Talons''. From over 400 applicants, 3 pilots are chosen to fly them; smart hotshot Lieutenant Ben Gannon (Creator/JoshLucas), tomboyish Lieutenant Kara Wade (Creator/JessicaBiel), and street-wise, philosophical Lieutenant Henry Purcell (Creator/JamieFoxx).

The pilots are to take EDI out on a mission and train it.

** The F/A-37s would never be able to take off from a carrier. Aside from being based on a somewhat dubious concept aircraft which would likely have trouble transitioning between wing angles, there's the minor issue that they're apparently all but VTOL-capable, swing-wing CATOBAR aircraft with comically gigantic missile loadouts and utterly insane range; there's no way an aircraft with such a laundry list of capabilities would be able to take off from a standard ''Nimitz'' catapult, and it's doubtful if it could do so at all, especially not with the stated empty weight of nine metric tons for a 70-foot aircraft. And even if all that weren't true, there's the small matter of their rear landing gear being secured to the carrier's deck with tie-down chains when they're on the catapult. Although it's worth mentioning Northrop-Grumann believed the aerodynamic concept might be feasible and as such has taken steps to ensure they had complete control over the forward swept swing wing design for the next two decades by [[http://www.google.com/patents?id=iRQXAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&source=gbs_overview_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false patenting it]] in 2000.
** There's also the infamous exploding plane scene, where Jessica Biel punches out seconds before her plane explodes. Next, the pilotless-but-still-in-one-piece plane twists around and starts ''barreling after her'' like she insulted its mother (although it ''had'' been twisting around before she hit the eject). '''Then''' it explodes, and an enormous cloud of wreckage chases her down. The "LudicrousGibs" level of debris rather suggests she was carrying a Lockheed C-130 troop transport in her missile bay.
** Slightly less obvious but equally hilarious is how the F/A-37s are shown to outfly Su-37s using exactly the kind of cool supermaneuver [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ALt3m3Kkhw those very Su-37s introduced in real life]]. Somehow, the Russian pilots only know how to fly in straight lines.
** Made even worse when you know that those very same maneuvers are reserved for airshows and technology demonstration, and that no competent pilot would actually be stupid enough to attempt one in an actual dogfight. Made even more worse (worser?) that they are in a dogfight at all, when both sides are equipped with Beyond Visual Range missile technology, which means dogfighting is your last resort, not your go-to strategy for an engagement.[[note]]Which is pretty much case-in-point as to why the United States isn't (as) interested in super-manuverability outside of their F-22 Raptors; sure, it makes for a good airshow, but most of their modern jet fighters are little more than advanced platforms for their missiles, which are typically what does all the maneuvering. As fun as 3D-thrust vectoring can be, the USAF just sees it as [[AwesomeButImpractical a lot of extra parts that have a low probability of actually being used to their fullest extent]] during the aircraft's service life.[[/note]] Or the fact the non-stealth Faux-37s weren't even detected until they were only 25 miles out, etc. There's also the fact that these Su-37s are shown as two-seaters, when the only two Su-37s in the real world only have room for the pilot.
** The F/A-37's cockpit has more elbow room than do passengers on commercial jets. A bit more forgivably, the joystick is in a between-the-legs placement; most American jets since the F-16 have a side stick.

* MilitaryMaverick: Ben Gannon performs a bombing run that could have probably ended with multiple blocks of Rangoon destroyed and thousands dead if he had done it wrong in a moment of unapologetic JerkAss thinking (that EDI, a highly precise machine that could not be affected by G-forces, was not adequate for the job).
