The greatest scene in all flight movies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuI0gFUq3HY Can you imagine getting all these HE 111s and Spitfires air worthy and actually flying in a movie scene? I can watch this scene over and over again and get goose bumps every time. Thank you Spanish Air Force. They used 32 Heinkels for the movie scenes, 12 flyable Spits, 3 flyable Hurris, and 17 flyable 109s.

The shot at the end of the smoking 111 going for the deck shows you, not only good flying, but how maneuverable the big plane was. I never get tired of watching this scene.

Could be.

Well nothing beats original footage. And yes "Fly boys" was a great flight movie. I wish there were more foreign films made from the perspective of the Axis air forces. Nice Browning A-5 on the skeet range.

In my opinion the greatest scene in all flight movies wasn't actually filmed in the "air" but on the ground.  From Battle of Britain - The "We're not easily frightened scene".

Ya, great scene. As is any scene with Susannah York in it. What a stunner she was.

The greatest scene?

Two f14's take on two A6M Zero's in "The Final Countdown"!

spielberg needs to explain how a kid in a foreign country who has never seen a p51...just knows what one looks like.

That Battle of Britain had some of the finest CGI I've ever seen.  It looked so real...  

One thing that's always driven me nuts in movies, best example here was the fight at the end of Flyboys.  Would it kill them to actually show some ACM in the fights?  Rolling scissors could be exciting if filmed well.  Instead, we get small turn left, get shot.  Small turn right, get shot again.  'Pull up and he'll fly right by us...'

*grumble* *stomps off*

i know what you mean Wiley...anyone remember some of the combat scenes they used in baa baa blacksheep?

the funny stuff were during the intros when they did closeups of the cast supposedly in the cockpits...you could tell they were sitting in poorly made stage props.

You haven't seen the film have you? If I remember correctly he saw an ad for North American in a newspaper or magazine titled "Cadillac of the Skies".
