"Thunderbolt" - (movie)

[Westy]

"Reno's Drive In" has a new hi-quality, Real Audio version up now.  42 minutes long.

I own a copy. Very nice color footage to say the least.

Thx Westy cool film. It makes me want to fly the P-47 now.   They mentioned something I hadn't thought of that we do all the time on here. That's chop the throttle. They had a manual waste gate. If you chopped the throttle abruptly and didn't open the waste gate well... pop goes the weasel.   I wonder if all of the other planes are manual control. I think the FW was automatic but I'm not sure. Anyone know?

[Westy]

You welcome Jim.

 As for the waste gate? I think that's in the realm of uber-uber realism. Stuff like that, imo, requires some real flight school on that particular aircraft for sure.

Oh now Westy don't read to much into what I said. I don't want it on here. It was an observation plus a question and that's all. Please don't fall into the trap of so many on here and take what is just a statement of fact and blow it up.

Wasn't. I swear!  No alarmist tone meant there at all

I see the 56k version, is there a 300k version or perhaps an AVI?, i want bigger screen...

I think you have to buy a copy to get any bigger Wobble.  Good flick though.  Thanks Westy.
