After Captain Murphy lost some of his men on his last mission to Mexico to bring back a US Senator, he has been plagued with unhappiness and bad dreams. When Murphy is given orders to go back to Mexico to help Mexican people slaving for Salvatore, a rich drug dealer, he must use a new technology plane to get there. The plane is technically advanced with a new protection luxury called 'Active Stealth'. Murphy and his men get aboard the 'Active Stealth', piloted by Hollywood who dreams of being an actor and embark to Mexico. The action never stops from then on when Salvatore sends his men in to block them from getting through.
A storyboard which gives us the chance to see the F-117 being a four seat aircraft, (re)use of shots and air action from Top Gun, Iron Eagle series... and an handful of new images.

Fire ! (already used for Strategic Command).
General Dynamics F-16B Netz[]
U.S.S. OKLA[]
A fictional name as an aircraft carrier is a CVN (why USS OKLA? for the battleship USS Oklahoma sunk in Pearl Harbor? (the only one to ever be named for the 46th state)). On the deck of this unidentified CVN, a E-2 Hawkeye is ready to be launch. Parked around the stern are F-14s and F-18s
Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye[]
On the left.
Grumman C-2A Greyhound[]
Grumman F-14 Tomcat[]
Most of the shots are from Top Gun.
Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk[]
A mock able to welcome two pilots and two passengers.
How to access to the pilot seat ? not by a ladder and the open canopy, but from behind this single ejection seat !
When the F-117 is taxiing, it's a real aircraft, probably from a U.S. Air Force Promotional Film.
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet[]
Among images of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat taxiing on the carrier, a short shot displays this McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet.
Douglas A-4 Skyhawk[]
During a dogfight, the F-16 becomes this A-4 the time of a glimpse!
Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter[]
Another continuity error when the F-14 dogfights with a F-5 (footage probably from Top Gun).
