Trivia
According to the DVD liner notes, the U.S. Air Force was going to consult on this film until they realized that a major part of the plot hinged on Doug and his friends hacking into the base computers, stealing equipment, etc. They didn't like the idea of the ease with which they had control of the base.

During "The Snake Scene" in which Doug Masters races his Cessna 150 against a motorcycle-riding Knotcher, the pilot of the Cessna 150 Aerobat was actually renowned aerobatic pilot Art Scholl, who was killed later that year when his Pitts S-2 camera plane crashed while filming in-cockpit footage for the flat spin sequence in the movie Top Gun (1986).

All of the fighter aircraft used (F-16 fighters; plus, F-21/C-2 Kfir fighters depicting enemy MiGs) are actually Israeli Air Force aircraft, repainted with the USAF symbol and a fictitious enemy symbol.

Goofs
Towards the end of the film during the attack on the airbase, there is one shot in the film which displays a digital readout in the center of the cockpit which contains the word PRINT and a following function. PRINT is a command in the BASIC computer programming language and is used to display text in programs.

After the mission, General Edwards says that Doug and Chappy are accused of violating nearly every section of the National Security Act. Passed in 1947, the National Security Act simply reorganized the structure of the U.S. military. It didn't contain any provisions that could be violated and prosecuted in either military or civilian courts as specific crimes.

In the shot just before Doug punches Knotcher, he is standing at least 15 feet away.
