They also read every script for mistakes and provided help with plausible background stories for all characters, ribbons, uniform regulations, hair advice, plot lines and military relationships and decorum on an active military base.<ref name=dvdbeyond/> The USAF flew up several [[Northrop T-38 Talon|T-38 Talon]], [[McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle|F-15]] and [[General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon|F-16]] fighter jets to Vancouver for various episodes and direct-to-DVD films.<ref name=comiccon/><ref name=tvzones46_66/><ref name=ac_910/> Many of the extras portraying USAF personnel were real USAF staff.<ref name="air force press release"/>
