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.

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.

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.

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.

Moments after recovering the photos the soldiers ambushed him.

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.

Answer: Miroslav Lokar
