Black Aces are few and far between in the movie, not much to go by. I only remember seeing one or two planes clearly, in low-vis. If any were still in the delivery scheme I think they would have stood out---white tails, red stripe, black nose. Still, I always got the impression they were intentionally not shown much in the film, to focus on the Jolly Rogers as "the" F-14 squadron. (Every other squadron has decent representation, throughout the movie--but you really have to look hard for the Black Aces)

Even though the setting was 1978 or so, the filming was in 1980's. And yeah, compared to the markings of the Jolly Rogers, they'd seem pretty bland

I believe the A-6 is manufactured by Grumman my friend. The model is by Century Wings. The outfits the models represent vary.
