Really! They still showing "God is My Co-Pilot"? The USAF show it to us at
Lackand back in 1955.

My CFI is joining the USAF for aviation training. It took almost all my self
control not give his some "good" advice. But, it made wonder how many tradition
survived. Do they sill through you in the water after your first solo? Do they
still square they meals? Do they still play tag around the clouds (mock
dogfight)? etc.

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.
