What are some "must have" movies that have an aviation theme in them? I want to get a collection together and I was wanting some input from the group. An obscure one that hasn't been mentioned yet: "Avro Arrow" w/Dan Akroyd. Neil

Over a cup of coffee and reading this brings up one I had forgotten about and
can not remember the name of. It has to do with a Canadian company coming up with a new design for a jet. It was based on a true story during the 60's. Any off our frozen Canuck friends remember the name? Walt

Akroyd plays the CEO of Avro. Neil

B-25 jock Canadian Fighter Interceptors we CF-100 Canauck CF-101B Voodoo CF-18 Hornet (Current) CF-105 Arrow (Made by Avro) The arrow was developed and 5 made with the J-75 engine but it never went into service. As I recall (I was in ADC) it was basically a cost problem to manufacture so they bought our F-101B Interceptor which was twin engine two place like they wanted. You can read about it's development at http://www.airspacemag.com/asm/mag/supp/am98/floyd1.html Long dissertation but if you are interested in supersonic aircraft design it's written in language that a man on the street can understand.
