'Bat 21' with Danny Glover and Gene Hackman has some good Birddog
footage, but maybe the best flying scene I've ever seen is a P-51 (?
from memory) coming in for aerial support and flying about 20' above
the ground, rolling it knifedge to pass between two trees, then rolling
it up and climbing away, with vapour vortexs streaming off the wing
tips. Great visually, and great flying. Made before CGI, too.



It was an A-1 Skyraider I beleive. Korean vintage attack aircraft that
came into it's own in SE Asia. Basically from I've been told it was a
flying tank. Low, slow and could take a beating!
