Hmmm..., I recall the F-14 being featured in a major Hollywood production,
not so the F-15.

No, the F-16 was featured in that piece of crap.

I didn't see it, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

The "Iron Eagle" series achieved the physical impossibility of both sucking

It did, in fact, all of the sequels did. That didn't stop me from
watching (parts of) them on the idiot box on occasion. I their
defence, they did show footage of some interesting aircraft, like
Rutan's Ares. I still want to know what they had to force feed those
Phantoms though to get them to pretend to be Migs :-)
