4 | * Let's face it, F-14s [[CurbStompBattle wiping the floor]] with the Japanese Zeros is pretty awesome. Bonus points when you remember that it was a Grumman bird (The [[CoolPlane F6F Hellcat]]) that would do that routinely after it entered service until the end of the war. |
5 | * Owens telling the Japanese pilot the entire Japanese plan complete with names of ships and code phrases. |
6 | * The survivors in the water realizing they’re probably going to die since the Zeros just killed one of them in the water … only for two F-14s to come roaring by in full attack mode, chasing after the Zeros. |
7 | * F-14s overfly a civilian yacht on reconnaissance, going into a vertical climb after the pass and being gone in seconds. Having never seen a jet plane, much less a Mach-2-capable fighter with variable-geometry wings, the passengers are stunned by their speed, and both confused and grateful for the US markings on the planes. |
