November 5, 1996... While browsing the Lockheed Martin Corporation web page this scooper found a picture of Bruce Willis and an airforce pilot in front of an F-16 Falcon. Nothing was mentioned on the page about the movie, but it could have somthing to do with it. The scooper provides the address 'http://www.lmco.com/photo/a-z.html' for any interested viewers.
