Oddly, no one has mentioned "Dr. Strangelove" yet.

I've read that the cockpit of the B-52 depicted in that film was extremely
realistic, and the details were gotten entirely from Janes magazine.

Thanks

I liked "Bat 51" (or was it "The Bat"?) with Gene Hackman and Danny Glover,
although there are only a few aviation scenes. There are a couple of great
ground-strike scenes, but the one that really got me was a P-51 doing
really low-level work, like 20' AGL, then rolling on its side to pass
between two trees then levelling and climbing-out. Really awesome stuff by
the stunt-pilot.
