Title: The greatest scene in all flight movies.
Post by: Rich46yo on June 05, 2013, 07:52:27 AM
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.

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".

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

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...'

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".

Yeah the Stukas looked pretty cheesy. But you can live with it for the rest of the flight scenes.

I am wondering something. During the BOB was hero music always playing on the radio so the pilots and ground crews could listen to, especially when German aircraft were being downed?

What CGI?  That movie was made in 1969 and the He-111's and ME-109's were equipped with Merlin engines.  They were Spanish AF aircraft.  The stukas were remote controlled models.  It's one of my favorites and It has been released in DVD format.

All the Best...

My favorite scene from the Battle of Britain.... Poles up in their Hurricanes for a training flight spot a formation of He 111s...

No one hated the Nazis like the Poles.....

Any flight scene from Top Gun (especially the final dogfight). Took aerial film making/photography to a whole new level and before CIG ruined everything.

I was just going to post "your all wrong. the best scenes of all flight movies  had to be from the First winner of the first acadamy awards and only silent movie to win. 1927 Wings"

real planes. real bombs, real bullets.

and their idea of simulating a plane smashing into the ground...was to smash an airplane into the ground.
