« on: April 26, 2012, 12:17:55 AM »
This would get my vote for now.

I've never seen a pilot use hand signals to get through traffic before. :lol

If that was real flying (and it looked like it was) that pilot is pretty amazing.

I think the scene in Strategic Command where the FBI agent who doesnt know how to level a 747 out ( or any aircraft for that matter). someone accually had to tell him to "pull back on the stick" then it showed the altimeter rapidly dropping through the 8000 ft. the next scene was a very gentle landing at LAX. after that the FBI agent asked "how do i stop this thing!" the guy told him "reverse thrusters!"..I never did hear the engine get louder, so he must not have used the reverse thrusters...couldnt have been more funny

EDIT: did i mention he saved the VP of the united states?

Yeah tupac, they didn't have cg in 1986.... well actually models used to be a lot more realistic in comparison to cgi.

I remember watching that movie Fandango on TV many years ago. I had no idea what it was about so I was amazed. The flying sequences were jaw dropping particularly the really, really really low pass under the highway bridge. The skydive sequence is also amazing. It was all real too. I wonder who the pilot was? Time to google I think.

It was real.  The airplane was a current jump plane at the time, can't remember who it belonged too.

As a kid the "Snake" scene in Iron Eagle I ate up.

The P-51 and handlebar mustache vs a Piper Arrow dogfighta in Cloud Dancer was entertaining.
