Gotta be better than the one with Lawrence Fishburn and the Huxtable Cosby kid.

I don't have high hopes.  It's been on again, off again for a while.

Based on those shots it looks more "on" than "off".

I have on my hard drive somewhere  a link to (brief) info about the Tuskeegee Airmen providing escort to Mossies over Southern Germany in the latter part of the war. IIRC one of the units they likely covered was 60 Squadron of the South African Air Force, which in some ways may be the ultimate irony.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I find it extremely funny that they couldn't or wouldn't use TUSKEGEE National Park to film any of the training portions of the movie; if they had any to film.
