I've been collecting all the movie and television programs which either were inspirations for or referenced SW movies and watched 633 recently.  Rereading my notes, there are terms which were reused: wing commander, blue leader, Hobbie.  A few lines "hold on this might be a little rough", "critically important operation, that's all gentleman, except good luck". (MTFBWY-like)  Similar scene sequence, briefing before battle for instance.   But for the most part this is probably one of the films GL cut-up to create his Death Star mock-up.  For instance at 57:20 there's a shot of a gun whose turrets pumps in and out, cockpit shots 14:25, formation breaks off and attacks 21:45.  So shot framing and battle sequencing are probably some of the things learned from this film.
