Best Military DVD?

[BizPilot]

Looking for an awesome Military Flying DVD to watch on my 57" HDTV and 5.1 surround sound. Any recommendations?

Prefer Hi-def, 16x9 format, and 5.1 surround.

Lots of "in the cockpit" views too.

Thanks

As gay as the movie is, I've always enjoyed the flight scenes from Top Gun (you just need a good remote to fast forward through all the crappy acting scenes).

Fearless Tower, we don't talk of this movie. Quietly walk away from your computer and reply to this thread no more. Maybe no one will notice.

Hang in there buddy...

How about the IMAX Red Flag documentary?

They expend more flares in 10 minutes of that video than I have in 4+ years in the Viper.

The Air Force version of Top Gun (the movie). I guess Hollywood has to dumb it down for the public. I almost had to walk out. However the camera work is awesome except for the computer generated bogeys.

JAG--any season DVD should do. Catherine Bell's curves will project nicely on your HDtv.

As for Iron Eagle, just turn off the picture and crank up the sound, since the soundtrack is about all that movie is good for.

Battle of Britain..classic film!

There are some cool flying scenes in Pearl Harbour...and Kate Beckinsale is the hottest chick on the planet.

I would say the Air Force version of "Top Gun" is a movie called "Red Flag", which came out early 80s, precedes top gun by a few years. At least you can see real fighters (F-4, F-5).

Yes, I was going to suggest the model-specific documentaries rather than hollyweird movies.

I always thought a good title for an A-10 documentary would be "Slow Death."

Iron eagle... uke:

What was the name of that stupid bomb? The Hades bomb?

"OK, Kid, you've got a LOT of F-16 sim time... now hop in this bird and not only be proficient in combat, go ahead and KICK SOME BUTT!" Yeah, that's it. It was less painful watching Jar-Jar Binks and his Gunga troops defeat the droid army, than watching kids in F-16's fly and fight.

Battle of Britain is an excellant movie. NO CGI or anything like that, it is all REAL airplanes. Some of it is kinda cheesy (bright red paint for blood) but it is educational and the flight combat scenes are awesome.
