Loved that movie as a kid. Had a buddy who served on the Nimitz though not during the filming.

The footage is in the movie, the Tomcat roles and the pilot momentarily loses control and the plane barely avoids going into the Pacific Ocean. It's been a while since I saw it but I think it is when the Tomcats first engage the Zeros. There is a very loud engine sound which is real when the pilot full throttles the plane to avoid dumping it. So keep an eye out for the scene when you watch.

I did see it! And wondered.
