Thanks for remembering The Blue Max!
Good films with good flying scenes - Murphy's War and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. |

I had the privilege of getting to know Cliff Robertson a bit. He was chagrined by some of the technically inaccurate aviation stuff he had had to put up with - such as when throttles get pulled back to add power in "Always".
He was most proud of "J. W. Coop" - not an aviation film but decent. He produced it and flew his biplane for it - a Jungmann I think. Borrowed it from Netflix years ago. |

Flight of the Phoenix was neat, especially as they actually built and flew the aircraft - but a black spot is that Mantz was killed doing so. The film wasn't worth that. Which reminds me, Scholl died doing shots for Top Gun - jeezthis make-believe is dangerous! I've seen the film and read the book. The book was better. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

The Blue Max...Â* All of the airplanes built for that movie lived at a
grass strip between Dallas and Denton, TX.Â* I landed a Stearman there in 1985 and had a tour.Â* Really nice.

Lost a bit of its shine for me seeing those yellow plastic Tornado props on some the planes being shot tp pieces in the air. Dam Busters. Yeah, that was good. So was "The Blue Max" - Derek Piggott was one of the stunt pilots in that. -- Dan, 5J |
