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. On Fri, 24 Mar 2006 07:32:03 -0700, "Matt Barrow" wrote: "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message link.net... 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. GeorgeC |
