There was no CG special effects that are abused today, and the real air combat scenes kept people nervous even in the straightforward plot. The trivial conversations of young people with different personalities can hardly hide their fear of death, and the overall positive and optimistic tone is full of anti-war sentiments.

It is definitely an excellent air combat movie that has been forgotten. The atmosphere has always been immersive and nervous and exciting. It deeply understands the nine deaths in air combat, the sky is full of blood, and the heroes of air combat.

Eugene McVey: Now, that's good advice!
Richard Rascal Moore: Hey, are those size eights? How about leaving a little will saying when you get your ass shot off on your first mission that those nice, shiny new pumps come to me, huh?
