All the aerial work was shot in Israel using IAF pilots and IAF F-16, Kfir and F4 Phantom jets.
[[Lou Gosset]] applies his "flair for projecting quiet authority" <ref> [http://www.louisgossett.com/] </ref> to his characterization of an airplane mechanic willing to help Doug plan a clandestine rescue mission. Chappy's Motown jukebox provides an amusing intergenerational contrast with Doug's Heavy Metal. Col. Masters earned Chappy's respect when he stood up for him against some racist pilots.

While some may have felt the film's plot was cheesy, the air combat scenes were quite realistic. <ref>The Israel Air Force puts in an unaccredited cameo role in the Iron Eagle series. All the aerial work was shot in Israel using IAF pilots and IAF F-16, Kfir and F4 Phantom jets. The F-16s, of course, were painted in USAF colors and the Kfirs and Phantoms were supposed to be the evil enemy MiGs. ... the flying is sublime.
