Suggested correction: The Hornet is taking evasive action, and most likely approached the SAM launcher.

Corrected entry: A trained US Naval aviator would not pull up to get away from a rocket missile because a Surface to Air missile will climb at least twice as fast as the depicted non-supersonic jet fighter. (00:21:15 - 00:22:40)

Correction: The jet Burnett and Stackhouse are flying is an F/A 18 Hornet, a supersonic aircraft capable of pulling off the manoeuvre described in the mistake with ease.
