Just watched TORA TORA TORA!!-Now i want a warbird..

Who is in that movie? Cuba Gooding and Denzel Washington? I think that was the one I saw...yeah, that's a good one too.

Nice collection, there, Don; I've been looking for 633 Squadron for a while. Cloud Dancer is another good one, even if it does have some of the R-word stuff in it. Ol' Curtiss Pitts hisself was in it.

I have always been kind of partial to The Blue Max. Dale

Only thing is, of course, it ain't WW II!

For the gent who was interested in how they converted T-6s into Zeros, there was an in-depth article earlier this year in one of the magazines I subscribe to, but for the life of me, I can't recall which one! Perhaps Air and Space Smithsonian? Perhaps Skyways? Or it could have been a model magazine. Anyone recall?

Is it just me or did anybody also find most "Pearl Harbor" aerial motion *way* over the top - usually conflicting with the laws of nature?

Must strafing runs be done 1 feet off the deck? (mind the prop!) I did see some 30G maneuvers being performed by contemporary (computer generated?) planes...nicely topped of by a bom-cam perspective.

Great arcade stuff - reality is too slow apparently.

Thora*3 was a lot better - I may be getting old :-)

Give me a realistic movie any time. Like Star Wars.

My wife won;t take me to the movies any more! The special effects are just SO unrealistic (laws of physics, wrong time periods, etc) that it kinda ruins the movie for me. It's hard to shut off my brain when I enter the building.

They ARE getting very realistic, though, in the visual arena. You really can't tell animation from reality any more.
