The one thing that everyone has to realize, which I hope the movie continues to emphasize, is that the SOLE purpose of that floating city (or high school, as they are trying to emphasize), it to put 50 tactical aircraft into the air to drop bombs allowing grunts on the ground to do their job and be a little more safe.
this is also stressed in the new documentary "Speed and Angels" about two of the last SNAs (Jay Consalvi and Meagan Varley) that selected F-14 tomcats (documentary covers their training, winging, first real live combat missions over Iraq during a 2yr period of time):
