stumbled across it complety by accident, while researching "something completly different". There are a few mistakes, and ommissions, but over all it pretty damn cool!!

I think F-102 made a brief but rather embarrassing to watch appearance in Fail Safe, but if I recall my movies correctly (never finished that one) that scene is just too embarrassing to talk about.

 

On the other hand, my fave was watching Captain (black and white jeapisode) Tony Nelson climb into a T-38, fly around in F-104, and taxi back in F-106, or some permutation of that order. I wish we had magic like that over The SF.

 

Another one probably little known: In the final lepisode of season 4 LEXX, President Priest and (First Companion I suppose) Bunny takeoff in Tornado, fly around in (Euro type) Tornado, and F-4, and I think F-18 too, and then follow Prince's instructions to eject from F-4.

Yes they did; first as the Vindicator's escorts, then when ordered to, trying to intercept and shoot them down
