Ok I can understand that but they wouldn’t send in escort fighters to deal with the Gen5’s so the team could get home. Seems they made this unnecessarily difficult.

them stealing the F-14 was so far fetched they should have gotten a jumpstart from a Thor lightning bolt. Not only was it locked loaded and fueled but he was able to do a short takeoff. Amazing.
I mean this is so obviously a nod to nostalgia both in regards to the original and to old big adventure classics like Indiana Jones that its hard to take your critique of it being unrealistic seriously. No one, least of all the filmmakers, was trying to make this bit realistic. I hope you don't watch all movies with this kind of critical cynicism. I can't imagine what action movie could live up to your criteria for realism.

I think your looking too much into it. It’s still a Hollywood blockbuster which means they are going to exaggerate and fantasize things
