"Pearl Harbor" still sucks...
Despite this fact, we had a great turnout for our second pilot's movie
night. Our invited friends included the owners of: ....a Bellanca Super Viking ....a '29 Travel Air Biplane ....a Super Cub ....a Swearingen SX-300 ....an RV-10 kit (in progress...) ....a Glasair II ....a Rose Parakeet ....and one guy who (I swear) has owned one of everything, in his 80 years on this planet. Needless to say, some serious hangar flying took place, both before and after the flick. By popular request, our warm-up movies consisted of 30 minutes of stuff off of our aviation video website, www.AlexisParkInn.com/aviation_videos.htm. Everyone suffered through the movie's awful plot (without booing, I'm glad to report) but we all reveled in the excellent P-40, Spitfire, and Pearl Harbor battle scenes. Someone smuggled some beer into the theater (again, dang it), and a good time was had by all! BTW: We've only got five seats left for Bill Fox' SR-71 Blackbird talk on Tuesday, May 30. If you're interested and can make it, email me -- first come, first served! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

It isn't an aviation film, it is really pretty terrible, but
the first minute or so of Can Hieronymus Merkin Forget Mercy Humpy and Find True Happiness has an SR 71 in-flight scene that is worth seeing. Battle of Britain Tora, Tora, Tora The Great Waldo Pepper Spirit of St. Louis Dam Busters Island in the Sky Flight of the Phoenix [Jimmy Stewart version] no special order Anybody care to add to the list of good to great airplane Hollywood movies? -- James H.

I like them both, even the sci-fi computer generated Sky
Captain was worth seeing once. Strategic Air Command with Jimmy again, B36 and B47.
