Dan, thanks for that. I read the synopsis and I did not recognize it. I soloed in 1951 and I thought I had seen them all. I'd also guess that most of the guy's ( oh yeah, and girls) on this board don't know who Dan Roman is either. <grin>

I voted so I hope it comes out.

Dan Roman? I think he was the first FO in history to use his version of CRM on the Captain!!!

I don't think it was even MATS, but it's a great movie, especially since all the military personnel in the film except for the two main characters were, at the time, actual active duty military folks .

Personal Favorite: A GUY NAMED JOE. 1943. Spencer Tracey, Esther Williams, Irene Dunne, Van Johnson, etc.

WWII movie. There was a remake of the original with a little different theme.....ALWAYS. 1989. Richard Dreyfuss, John Goodman, Holly Hunter, Brad Johnson, Audrey Hepburn, etc.

Both available on DVD/Video.

For WWII movies, you can't beat "12 O'Clock High". Absolute classic movie IMO.

It was about the Berlin Airlift and that was run by Troop Carrier. I got into Troop Carrier shortly afer that. Troop Carrier heavy were C-54 units. Troop Carrier medium were C-47, C-46 and C-82 units.

The "Great Waldo Pepper" starring Robert Redford is an awesome period movie.

Saw it when I was a kid. Loved it! Here's a clip showing the dogfight at the end:

Target for Today is a good one as well.

Anyone heard of "Top Gun?" It's an okay '80s flick.

It's about fighter pilots, men playing volley ball, and men showering together.
