Default Bad Aviation Films

Since we've had favorites, how about bad ones?

Someone mentioned Top Gun.Â* I thought that was horrible.Â* Yeah, there
was eye candy for both of the only two real genders, and there were a
bunch of great shots of aircraft, but the story line was total crap.

So for one of my favorite bad aviation films, I nominate:Â* Jet Pilot
with John Wayne, Janet Leigh, and believe it or not, Mamie Van Doren.

Family Flight starring Rod Taylor (1972). Their Navion’s prop gets bent during a forced landing in Baja. They bang it straight with a rock. Goes downhill from there.
