On Location

The military training scenes were all shot at Ft. Knox, KY. (about 45min south of Louisville KY).

The taxi cab scene on the bridge is actually on the Kennedy bridge in Louisville, KY crossing the ohio river.

The "prison" was actually a old Jim Beam bourbon warehouse that crew used and blew apart. [Thanks to Patrick Watterson]

The early city scenes on the bridge was the 2nd Street bridge in Louisville.[Thanks to B Niedert]

Burbank final scene with T39 airplane was from my Sq at Norton AFB about 45 miles west. [Thanks to Larry]
