Default Interceptor (the movie)

This 1992 movie was our Netflix ritual of the night last night. Has anyone seen this? How real are the planes? And that helmet thing? I'm sure people cannot grope along the "gas line" when it's hooked up. And what's with the commander's hair? Is it normal to put your headset on and with your hair still sticking out and covering half your face? That would drive me bonkers.

The feature tonight is something about a courtesan in old times Venice. No airplanes in this one, I hope!

Having flown all the aircraft in the film, this is probably a film with more fiction or factual errors than ANY film in history.

Basically, getting from one plane to another through a refueling boom is about as possible as getting from underground at a gas station to inside your fuel tank and stealing your car.
