Fun Fact: The P-51 that saved them had markings that would have meant it was in the PTO. (May be wrong)

I couldn't tell what their unit markings were. But they do have Invasion Stripes.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

By far "Kelly's Hero's"

Agreed, it also has one of the better theme songs, "Burning Bridges" of any war movie.

It looked like a 78th FG Pony to me. That would make it 8th AF.

A Bridge to Far was pretty good. Kelly's Hero's wins by far though.

Yep, did a bang up job of that at the The Battle of Isandlwana.

Zulu Dawn was a good movie though, definitely showed them who was boss at Rorke's Drift.


ack-ack

Forgot about Zulu Dawn...my Grandpa made me watch it when I was like 10 lol, helluva "This is War Kid" kind of moment.

And havent been on the forums in awhile so didnt know that this was recently posted...sorry.

I cant believe I didnt mention Kelly's Heroes...this was a movie that at one time my mother had to pay over 100 dollars in late fees because I watched it everyday for 2 MONTHS STRAIGHT.  Burning Bridges is a great song.  "They all tried to warn me but I guess I didnt care...I turned my back and left them standing there....da da da duh duh duh duh!"
