Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the aircraft carrier depicted in the movie?

Answer: Carl Vinson

The name of the carrier is mentioned multiple times and captions also indicate the name of the carrier.
2. What is the aircraft flown that is eventually shot down?

Answer: F-18F Super Hornet

The only time it is revealed that the plane is a Super Hornet is during a news broadcast announcing the plane was shot down. According to the behind-the-scenes feature of the DVD this is the first movie to show the Super Hornet version of the F-18 Hornet series.
3. What type of sports ball ended up being shot overboard by the catapult, causing Burnett to shout "Wilson!"?

Answer: Football

Filmmakers tried filming the scene by actually having the catapult hit the football, however the ball would obliterate upon contact, causing a crew member to simply throw the ball in the air. The reference of shouting "Wilson" is a joke reference to "Cast Away".
4. On which holiday does the ill-fated flight occur?

Answer: Christmas Day

There are numerous references to the movie taking place over the Christmas holidays, including decorations set up, a notice on a board saying it is Christmas, and even someone saying over the PA system that radar has detected Santa in the vicinity of the aircraft carrier. Burnett also criticized being assigned the flight mission during the "one good meal of the year" then pointed to the board that says Christmas.
5. When hitching a ride in the pickup truck, what type of music did Babic profess to love?

Answer: Rap/Hip Hop

After professing his love for rap and hip hop he started breaking into singing "Public Enemy #1" by "Public Enemy".
6. The reporter on board the Carl Vinson who reported on the plane being shot down was from which real life news network?

Answer: Sky News

The reporter depicted in the news report is real life Sky News correspondent Aernout Van Lynden. At the beginning of the film Admiral Piquet handed Admiral Riegart Aernout's businss card and said he brought him on board so Reigart could show him how things work on an aircraft carrier.

He was also mentioned by name in the conversation. Reiegart was resistant to the request because he said he found the press to be intrusive and that they tended to "promote showing off". Eventually Riegart used him to bring public awareness to his pilot being shot down and increase pressure to get permission to rescue him.
7. During the takeoff scene for their ill-fated mission, what musician did Burnett imagine sitting in the cockpit with him "moving the joystick"?

Answer: Britney Spears

In a previous takeoff scene Burnett jokingly said he should be flying for rock stars, thus preventing them from dying due to crashes while in their prime. He cited Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly as examples. Burnett's pretending to have Britney Spears in the cockpit with him was a continuation of his comments about flying for musicians.
8. In which part of the plane were the reconnaissance photos stored?

Answer: The rear ejection seat

Despite being the target of the manhunt for most of the movie, at no point did the Serbian army know where the photos were being stored. They only went to the rear ejection seat because they intercepted the radio transmission Burnett was signalling from the seat for a rescue. Moments after recovering the photos the soldiers ambushed him.
9. What survival pack item did Burnett ultimately use to kill Sasha?

Answer: Flare

After shooting Sasha in the chest, but getting shot in the shoulder himself, Burnett knocked him to the ground and stabbed the flare into the gunshot wound.
10. What was the name of the Serbian leader who committed the acts of genocide?

Answer: Miroslav Lokar

His name was revealed twice, when Burnett was held captive with resistance soldiers and they said his name, and at the end of the movie when the end captions revealed Lokar's fate.
