People die in crashes or crash and almost die or barely miss a deadly crash, and fire is often a part of this. Additionally, a prominent character's offscreen death in a fire is mentioned in the epilogue

Someone dies almost immediately, and their children are then seen when the news is delivered to the family and then also at the funeral.

Two characters vomit over the railing of an aircraft carrier. This is played to comedic effect. No vomit is seen, but the heaving noises are over the top.

Alan Shepard is a fan of José Jiménez, a Hispanic caricature, and imitates him, which Gonzalez calls him out on. Later, he jokingly calls himself a wetback.

The opening scene AND the closing scene each involve plane crashes, many of the main characters are test pilots, and there's plenty more crashes and threats of crashes in the middle.
