    Airport '70, Airplane '80, The Aviator (Scorsese), Whisky Romeo Zulu and that educational film the Smithsonian Flight Museum used to show. And don't call me Shirley.

    For vintage 50's military footage you can't beat "The Bridges At Toko-Ri" & "Strategic Air Command". Minus the lack or reality "Top Gun" is a no brainer for Tomcat scenes, but "The Great Santini" is a much better movie with USMC F-4's in the spotlight. Though only on DVD "Fighter Fling...The Directors Cut" gets my vote. :borat:

    No one said Baa Baa Black Sheep/Black Sheep Squadron either. Or did they?
