Are you guys talking about the old Red Flag movie with the F-4's and F-5's in it? I vaugely remember that one from when I was 5 or so.
I like how he kept talking about how his Grandfather had flown Corsairs and was just incredible, but he chose to join the Air Force instead of following his Grandfather's foot steps and joining the USMC. I thought it was interesting that in the flight out to Nellis he was obvioulsy flying an F-15E but we never see our hear from the WSO throughout the movie.
