Aircraft land on carriers, by lowering a hook from the rear of the plane, which snags a tightly-strung steel cable that drastically slows them down in a very short space.
I watch a JAG reaction to this movie and react to it from a legal perspective and he would have probably lost his wings on the first order breach for those fly-bys.

Lol Take My Breath Away is the worst most repetitive droning on song that I would eliminate from pop culture if I could :)
