I'm sure it was hard to digitally reverse all the orbit shots.
When I was a teenager and saw Yeoman Barrow's ripped blouse - yeowzah! - let's just say I didn't need no stinking CGI to make my horny imagination go into warp drive.
Barrow's ripped tunic

Here's hoping that awful stock footage of the WWII fighter planes is replaced by new CGI aircraft. After all, the dialogue keeps saying there's just one plane in the sky but for a moment the unedited stock reel shows two. And the planes are different from shot to shot.

Ah... Yeoman Barrow's and the ripped tunic. mmm. Yes, the memories.
One of my favorite eps!!! Written by Norman Spinrad.
Theodore Sturgeon (But you knew that).
Well dip me in shellack. I stand corrected.
The thing about the plane is that it noticeably goes from being a US Navy plane to a Japanese Zero!

Exactly!
Phil Farrand in his 1994 NITPICKER'S GUIDE noticed the exact same things. The dialogue says there's only one plane in the sky, but the stock footage shows two...and not only that, but the plane changes from a U.S. Navy fighter/torpedo bomber to a Japanese Zero in a matter of a few moments!
This is easy to fix with a new CGI plane, like they created for the F-104 interceptor shots of "Tomorrow is Yesterday." Just show a new plane from a new angle.

Or maybe the original close-up was adequate enough and they just CGI'd the shots of the plane from a distance during its flyover and strafing runs? Would work for me. As long as some of the old sequence were redone, I'd be cool with it.

Or how about this:
Early in the episode, Sulu takes the gun he finds and shoots the rabbit. The crew builds a fire and puts the carcass on a spit. The rest of the episode is a ship-wide picnic on a paradise planet. I can see Spock and McCoy tied together for a three legged race. Sulu and Chekov are off playing Frisbee. Kirk and Ruth disappear into the bushes for a half an hour. A pick-up football match with red shirts versus blue. Hilarity ensues. Watermelon, anyone, this time without blue or green food coloring?

I always thought of it as a deliberate choice, that she was meant to be "the older woman" in young Kirk's backstory.
(young as in academy days)
Give Barrows nipple pasties and a cute butterfly tattoo just above her funbox.
Just an idea.
