*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR GAU-8 *** Been seeing previews for two movies that might be of interest to net.aviationers... TOP GUN: Looks like a Navy version of the "RED FLAG- THE ULTIMATE GAME" TV movie. Incidentally, the movie Art Scholl was filming for when he was killed. IRON EAGLE: Flying-crazy teen's Air Force father is shot down and captured by a Libya-oid country. Teen conspires with old AF Colonel (played by Lou Gossett) to "borrow" two F-16s for a rescue mission. VERY good combat footage shown in preview... Isreali Kfirs used for MIGS, lotsa low-level maneuvering, etc. Incidentally, IAF did supply all aircraft used, and was filmed at IAF Air Base. They had to hurredly remove USAF markings when the Isreali squadron was scrambled for a mission over Lebanon... Once I see these two movies, I pity any poor 152 pilot caught in 09T's patrol zone...:-).
