Silly, yes, but the first aviation movie to get you from the opening scene
with great music and ultra-realistic simulated and real shots. I gotta
admit I've seen it about 50 times, and I could watch it again (as long as I
could fast forward through the dumb stuff). Everything before that movie
was in the "Revell model flying past the cotton balls on fishing line"
category, IMO.

There was naval aviation, keep in mind, long, long, long, before that
silly Top Gun movie.

Glad to see I'm not the only pilot who thinks Top Gun is silly.
