There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I remember seeing it in the theater when it was released, a very "gung-ho, lets get'em boys" kind of movie when you're in your 20's

They weren't real MI24's... They were actually Sikorsky SeaKings
Modified... I've heard that they were so far out of balance, that they could barely fly...
Thats why they just kind of flutter around, no serious maneuvering, movie pilots
were afraid of crashing them...

Well watched most of it before I had to pick my wife up. My rating? Nowhere near as good as Iron Eagle. The acting didn't improve and the lack of real Russkie armour spoilt it for me. Pretty violent though.

tactically speaking it would have been hard for paratroopers to move ALOT of armor in that far.
