I dated a girl whose father was a bombardier with that
group. They just ran God is my Co-pilot" a week or so ago.

For the flying movies though, Island in the Sky may be my
favorite, even if John Wayne looks like he's sawing wood
with the ailerons. Andy Devine was perfect as was the rest
of the supporting crew. Some of the formation flights and
music are beautifully done.

| I've seen that movie, a good one. Also a movie, Hunters
| with F86.
|
| Bridges at Toko Ri is good too.
|
| I have a great affinity for "God is My Co-Pilot"
naturally, as I knew Scotty
| personally, but my all time favorite air movie has to be
"12'o'clock High",
| and strangely enough, it's not the air sequences I liked
so much in the
| film.
| The opening sequence with Dean Jagger, the mug, the
bicycle, the fence, the
| airfield, then the flashback, has to be one of the finest
segway sequences
| ever filmed. The ending as well, coming back to the
present with Jagger
| leaving as he came in on the bike truly put a master's
touch of film making
| on this picture.
