For anyone interested in military aviation, this really is a must see! This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Great camera shots from the cockpit.

Saw it a couple years ago at the Air Force Museum. Wasn't too impressed... seemed like the guys making it had no knowledge of military aviation. This was awhile ago, so maybe my impression was wrong, but it seemed like it was geared toward the general public who also had no knowledge of military aviation (which was probably, understandably, intentional).

Is that torrent link to a pirated copy (since it always is)? Probably should take that off AW.

Come on man, you can't be serious...

Good initiative, bad judgement

Good cinematography.
Awful film.

Saw a prescreening at the IMAX in downtown Sacramento in March 2005. Maj Novotny (also in the film) was there, hyped it up as "the Air Force's long overdue answer to Top Gun." It was so good I fell asleep about half an hour into the film.

Understandably, if you've flown military aircraft this film might not be very exciting or even accurate. As a wannabe, however, it's pretty cool stuff. TG is also completely unrealistic, yet I'd wager most of us have seen it more than once.

Sorry about the torrent link, though. Didn't really think about it.

Nope, this wannabe thought it was incredibly uninteresting as well. There are French military aviation films that are light years ahead.

Anyone ever see that series American Fighter Pilot about the AF F-15 "RAG" (or whatever they call it)? It was produced/filmed by Tony and Ridley Scott. I own it on DVD, cool to watch, but somewhat cheesy... The editing is a little too jumpy too.

Jim told me I can buy Gaydar online
I'll admit, I own it on DVD. Sure it does have some cheesy/ghey moments and ascots are in full force, but at least it looks good in Windows HD...
