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.

Agreed, that film was already mentioned.

I'm glad that someone realized that was sarcasm!

Actually, my favorite would be Memphis Belle

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.

Some good O-2 footage(and rotary-wing footage as well) in BAT*21.
Took my first airplane ride in an old O-2 so that may be why I like it
so much.

Who can forget The Right Stuff?

The Rocketeer has some cool Gee Bee footage along with other classics.

I like the opening at the ball park when the B 36 flew over.
Didn't hurt anything that General James Stewart was an
active bomber pilot in WWII and flew post-war.

"The Dawn Patrol" -- try to get both the Douglas Fairbanks and the
Basil Rathbone versions.

That "How to Fly a Stearman" Navy training film with Robert Taylor is fun to
watch, too.
