It isn't an aviation film, it is really pretty terrible, but
the first minute or so of Can Hieronymus Merkin Forget Mercy
Humpy and Find True Happiness has an SR 71 in-flight scene
that is worth seeing.

Battle of Britain
Tora, Tora, Tora
The Great Waldo Pepper
Spirit of St. Louis
Dam Busters
Island in the Sky
Flight of the Phoenix [Jimmy Stewart version]
no special order


Anybody care to add to the list of good to great airplane
Hollywood movies?

| Despite this fact, we had a great turnout for our second
pilot's movie
| night. Our invited friends included the owners of:
|
| ...a Bellanca Super Viking
| ...a '29 Travel Air Biplane
| ...a Super Cub
| ...a Swearingen SX-300
| ...an RV-10 kit (in progress...)
| ...a Glasair II
| ...a Rose Parakeet
| ...and one guy who (I swear) has owned one of everything,
in his 80
| years on this planet.
|
| Needless to say, some serious hangar flying took place,
both before and
| after the flick. By popular request, our warm-up movies
consisted of
| 30 minutes of stuff off of our aviation video website,
| www.AlexisParkInn.com/aviation_videos.htm.
|
| Everyone suffered through the movie's awful plot (without
booing, I'm
| glad to report) but we all reveled in the excellent P-40,
Spitfire, and
| Pearl Harbor battle scenes. Someone smuggled some beer
into the
| theater (again, dang it), and a good time was had by all!
|
| BTW: We've only got five seats left for Bill Fox' SR-71
Blackbird talk
| on Tuesday, May 30. If you're interested and can make it,
email me --
