As a retired USAF Fighter Pilot, having flown 100 missions as an F-105 Wild Weasel over the hottest areas of North Vietnam, and recipient of the Silver Star, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and ten Air Medals, I found the movie to be excellent. I thought it was realistic in every respect, both in the air and on the ground, in portrayal of the various personalities that would be encountered in a fighter unit in combat, even the love scenes which were realistic but portrayed in good taste. After seeing some of the poor reviews, I almost chose not to go, but I am glad I did. I only wonder about the actual life experiences of the other reviewers. I could put a name on each of the pilots in that unit from my own experiences in combat.
