Shots of the SR-71 taking off are from Michael Dudikoff's Strategic Command (1997), and the scenes on board the aircraft carrier are from Dudikoff's Crash Dive.

Nancy Valen (Mela) used body double Susan More for her nude scene.

The number of missiles in the on-screen display of the planes, is inconsistent. The same switch-covers are opened multiple times during chase sequences.

After being ordered to launch his strike aircraft, we see a flight of F/A-18 Hornets launch from the carrier. Maybe there's also a supporting flight of F-14 Tomcats we didn't see. But the flight of aircraft we later follow as they approach to make the strike on the airbase are F-16 Falcons - never a carrier-operated aircraft.

When the pilots are discussing the SR-71, they mention 'the usual weapons.' The SR-71 never carried weapons; its construction was too light to support them, and the plane went so fast that they'd be hundreds of miles away from its target by the time it fired. The SR-71 was the best reconnaissance aircraft ever made, superseded only by satellite intelligence, but it was completely unarmed.
