Well, in Exposed, I got the impression that there was a big gap
between civil and military. Here's Foster testing this new
sophisticated (allegedly) plane at the edge of the atmosphere, and
then Sky shows up doing a "routine" maneuver at the same altitude.
Well, in reality I guess there is nothing in this episode to really
substantiate the above impression, since Foster didn't get a chance
to do the testing he was supposed to do, and we will never know the
capabilities/superiority of the plane Foster was flying.
