Country: | What made it worse for me is I first saw that in the base theater. There was a lot of chuckling going on with the aviation inaccuracies.

Country: | Yeah, that was great. There is one scene where the F-14 lights the burners up. You hear the whoosh and see the swirling vortices behind it. That scene always makes me say "Oh YEAH!"

Country: | Yeah I did not even look at the name of siggy but now that you pointed it out. Hey P-38 Pilot that is a Chinook made by Boing-Vertal not by Bell and is not a UH-30.

| talking of the p-59 airacomet there was one exchanged to britain and the americans were given a gloster meteor in return.
looking at the body shape of the airacomet it looks like a tigershark.
