The the things I learned from that show are that Corsairs easily out turn Zeros. All Japanese pilots spoke perfect English with American accents. US Navy nurses liked to wear short shorts with stockings. If you were being strafed by Zeros, all you had to do was run in a straight line and the bullets would pass along to either side of you.

Riceball always knew what frequency Boyington was on and would tease him over the radio.

Who was doing that in the old WB's Historic Area (PTO)?
I think it was around v.2.5 or so. It was some funny stuff.

You forgot:

- Flying with a hangover enhances your performances.
- Shooting your guns reset all your flight instrument to zero.

LOL Yeah, he cried foul cause Kaplan's team handed off a baton outside the zone during a 4x 440 relay race. He got all pissy, and then he challanged Kaplan to a 110 yard race to determine the winner... and Gabe smoked him by twenty yards. It was classic.

Riceball was classic - gotta love the old "Pappy and Riceball stranded on desert island sharing cigarettes" episode.

PS: Damn - lotta Conrad haters in here. Hey... at least the idea for the show came before Ben Afflec was born.
