The flying was incredible. You know, most Navy pilots don’t get to buzz the tower like in the movie – if you did you could just peel your wings off and, throw ’em at the door because you probably wouldn’t be flying anymore – but, since it was Hollywood, you know, they wanted the scene. I had to buzz the tower. And, of course, they wanted nine different takes – so we did it nine times!

The mission also carried an IMAX camera and the crew documented the progress of the mission for an upcoming IMAX film.
