My only gripe with the movie...

I love this movie and think it's one of the best flicks of 1996. The only thing that annoys me is when they're trying to board the plane, there was another guy on stealth aircraft that I guess died when it went down. There was NO acknowledgement of his death and I wonder why he was even casted? I don't even think he had any lines! Why include him if you're not going to care if he exists or not?

Two other soldiers did not make it from the F 117. "Doc", and and another unnamed man.

^^^^ yep

at first i thought it might have been a slight plot hole, since the camera solely focused on the pilot and him ejecting.

but then i realized their death is to be assumed while going down with the shredded plane.

still, a better directing/editing job showing the two soldiers futilely flailing for their lives would've carried a little more weight to a already intense scene.

I know who you're talking about. That guy who was sitting next to Seagal on the F-117 who's reading & never says anything. I don't know his name but i've seen him in a few other big action flicks (ie: The Rock & Heat) & he didn't have any lines in those movies either. I can only assume that he is a military tech advisor. It's not uncommon for those guys to play a Commando or gov't agent alongside the other actors in movies w/out actually having lines.
