There are some incredible dogfight scenes in this film. In one shot I counted at least 35 biplanes in one big dog fight, with all kinds of spins, spirals and other crazy things going on. I don't know much about aerobatics but it looked very horny! I wonder if you would get away with stunts like that today.

After reading all the depressing messages on this forum last night I was convinced I would have to win the lotto just to buy a F/O position on a 182. Today I went and bought a lotto ticket.[/url]

For sure dude, a great wwI aviation flick. And you're right about the aerobatics, its pretty hairy, they lost at least 3 guys making the film, and Hughes himself spun a plane into the ground while making the movie. Love the Zepplin scenes.

As for the 182 FO position....I'd never hire you.

Hey Dude

I'd hire you to ride side saddle on a 182. Someone has to tap the fuel guages for me!

I seen the movie the Aviator and thought it was great but Mr. Hughes was not, i bet he wasn't even a good pilot. But he did alright fighting for TWA and Leonardo was perfect for the role. And I just watched Broken Arrow which is a movie about a disgruntled air force pilot who steals a nuke and Christian Slater fights him, saves the southwest and falls for a girl. Sooo...what else is a good movie?
