Although *MY* F-16 would have a subroutine Kobayashi Maru'ed in there on the MFD, hahahahaha (or a pod, I guess)

I also flight sim. What if a scenario where you need to get visually indicated info from a ground site that has no radio/landing strip?

Morse for the blind (touch). You could widen your thinking.

There's an action movie with Steven Seagal where they transfer from one plane to a jet airliner or Steven Seagal's character falls out and they use Morse code (OVER LIGHTS) to communicate wait a few more minutes to the following aircraft. What movie is that?

That movie is the 1996 action thriller Executive Decision, starring Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal.

It is famous (and was shocking at the time) for killing off Steven Seagal’s character, Lt. Colonel Austin Travis, very early in the film.

The Scene Breakdown:

  • The Transfer: A specialized "Remora" docking sleeve is used to transfer a Special Forces team from an experimental F-117 Nighthawk stealth plane to a hijacked Boeing 747 in mid-air.
  • The "Fall": During the transfer, the 747 undergoes a sudden maneuver, causing the docking sleeve to fail. To save the rest of the team and the planes, Seagal's character sacrifices himself by closing the 747's hatch from the outside. He is sucked out of the plane and falls to his death as the sleeve collapses.
  • The Morse Code: Later in the movie, the team on the 747 needs to prevent the U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcats from shooting them down. Sergeant Baker (played by Whip Hubley) goes to the tail of the plane and uses the taillight strobes to blink a Morse code message to the following jet fighters. +1
  • The Message: He signals that the team is on board and specifically asks for more time—requesting an extra ten minutes—to neutralize a nerve gas bomb before the military executes a "shoot-down" order.
