Red Tails- Movie

[IrishOne]

saw it last night, it was entertaining, albeit kind of hokey at times.     good as far as movies go.   i felt they could have done much more.  would have been cool to know more about the German ace, i noticed he was wearing oak leaves.

  I really enjoyed it. kudos to George Lucas for putting up the 58 million out of his pocket to make it.    My son pointed out in the opening scene  they got the M3 and  then they took down the flak train .
 Later on the German dragged them over the base ack  where they took down the manned ack and vulched the field and porked  the field.

 At  the theater where we watched it the audience clapped at the end.

[Saxman]

Same at mine. It's been a while since I've been to a movie where the audience applauded when the credits rolled.

[Flench]

Oh, and somebody wanna try to loop a Mustang like that and post the film? I say it can be done!

I bet 100 bucks kappa can do that move . I got to see this movie .

Search the thread, it's already been done in the game and was also pulled off IRL as well.

Forget the ACM you see / hear / do in this GAME. It is not the same as the real world combat and folks who make great game players are not real experts.

Oh, really?  And your expertise on the subject comes from where?

Please, this is a game, not even a sim of the same kind of controls you see in a real plane. Maybe 5 tops including stick, rudder, throttle, and oh views if you use track ir and a keyboard to adjust rpm and maybe, MAYBE trims. You think you could take a real plane and do the same stuff you can in this game? HAHAHA wow. Really think about it gamer. This game doesn't make you a pilot by any stretch of the imagination. It's a game man, come on back down to earth now. 

If you hung it up for someone to take you in a WAR you are finished for good. In here you up a new plane. Think about it you don't need expertise to see that one. lol

and yet everyone in this discussion has access to Amazon.com

Everyone has access to amazon.com, yes. You fail to realize that not everyone on this board is as financially 'set' as you may be.

Did Cuba yell: "SHOW ME THE NAZIS!" during climb out?

thats actually not true at all.......up until I was 40 years old I have never been in an airplane, except in AH

on my 40th Bday I went and took up a aerobatic plane and flew it no problem at all as far as controlling it goes.....I taxied down the runway and took off myself....did barrel rolls....loops.........

I knew what all the gauges were....

the guy who took me up was very surprised I was never in a plane before....( hell I never even looked inside a cockpit before).the only problem I had was the fact that my body had never experienced real flight/Gforce before...so vertigo set in.

I have absolutely no doubt I could fly ANY small plane.

this is the plane I flew

I will say one of the most amazing days of my life





I will admit I was happy they gave me a parachute

Funny, I flew one of these with only my AH experience to guide me.



What's even funnier is you saying this to Puma.

[Tupac]

Puma is one of the most experienced aviators on this board

And he would do things in a plane that he does in the game? Don't think so. Pull an immelman because the invisible enemy plane was going to get you on that little jaunt? No. maybe take it for a vert tailslide? Probably not. That was a movie and a war is also kind of different maybe.
