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

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 .

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:

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

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