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

Post by: 4Prop on April 26, 2012, 12:27:38 AM: 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?

Post by: cpxxx on April 26, 2012, 05:15:57 AM: 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.

One of the old cropduster pilots told me once "It's 8 hours bottle to throttle, unless you're flying a spray plane." "What'd you mean 8 steps?" "If you can make it the 8 steps to the plane you are good to go."
