If by a pretty good flick, you mean entertaining to 14 year olds, then yes, Behind Enemy lines was a success. If you mean they even attempted an accurate representation of naval aviation/escape and evasion, then NO.

The ejection scene was the icing on the cake of ridiculousness! After a 5 minutes scene evading two of 2029's best SAM's, they punch out and hit each other mid-air?!?!? I hope that the general audience would realize the implausibility of the entire sequence.


Come on, I thought the run through the minefield was WAY more realistic..."Lets see, lots of mines, lots of trip wires, I guess if I just run really fast they won't hit me"

Now maybe it is ridiculous, but what is more ridiculous? A fleet guy saying "it's not totally accurate" or a FNG who has not flown .1 in a naval aircraft saying "HOLY SHIT, Hollywood is FOS!!!!! LOL! ROFL!!!!!!"

Seriously dude, what the fvck do YOU know about escape and evasion.

TWO THINGS.

JACK. AND SHIT.

I am drunk and feisty. He will not like proper posish.

Best kind of beer is free beer!! Better is O-5 beer!!

Best story I heard about BHL (Behind Enemy Lines) as it's known in the biz, was that Owen whatshisname was walking around the ship in wardrobe and the real XO of the ship (think ChuckV) stopped him and began to verbally ring his neck about his hair. After a few minutes, Owen explained that he was an actor.

I take it you guys had a chuckle today as 226 went down on me in chocks and I had troubleshooters swarming over it to get it up.

(took me a minute to figure out what the "your RAT popped again" handsignal was)

And yes, free CoC beer is great.
