Default Blue Angels Question(s)

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.


Good story, too; the USAF still uses it as a demonstration of strong
leadership.
