"Pearl Harbor" still sucks...

I like the oldies:

Eagle Squadron (1942) w/ Robert Stack & Diana Barrymore
Air Force (1943) w/ John Ridgely, Gig Young, Arthur Kennedy & Harry
Carey
and, of course, the classic: McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force (1965)

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.

Agreed. I'd add "Strategic Air Command" if you can fast forward through
scenes with June Allyson.

I forgot that one.

The flying and aerial cinematography in the Piece of Cake series are the
most breathtaking I can recall.

It's been a long time since I saw it but "The Great Waldo Pepper" was pretty
good when I saw it at age 14 I think.
