Quotes
Col. Hollis Farr:
But what about this request for transfer?
Col. Jim Caldwell:
I never saw it.
Col. Hollis Farr:
Aw, come on! If you stall around on this, all he'll do is go to the Inspector General. Why go out on a limb?
Col. Jim Caldwell:
Out on a limb? How in the hell do you think I've been living since I took this job...
Goofs
In several scenes, flight line maintenance personnel and command staff officers are not wearing hearing protectors while standing near jet aircraft with running engines. Air Force policy requires personnel to wear hearing protection while around operating engines to prevent permanent hearing damage caused by the extremely loud, high-pitched sound produced by jet engines.
