A little obscure but a pretty good watch.

Bit of humour, bit of sex, bit of flying.

I think the air duels are CGI, but it's pretty well done.

That is the most glorious film ever made about aviation and aviators. Everything else is for pudknockers.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Alot of it is a mix of CGI, and enhanced unused footage from the Battle of Britain

Young girl : "Hey Pancho. I've been looking at all the pictures you have up there on your wall and I was wondering why a fancy pilot like Slick over there doesn't have his picture up there. What do you have to do to get your picture up there anyway?"

Too many to list...but really, best ACM in the past couple of years was in "How to Train Your Dragon."  Perfect example of a rope maneuver.
