"The Lafayette Escadrille" is also one of my faves!

But I have to take exception to one 'choice'......"Iron Eagle 1 & 2"  ::)

Puhleeze!  The worst attempt(s) at munitions and cockpit set-up of any aviation flick! (Perhaps I'm a bit jaded by my USAF Munitions/EOD experiences....along with being at an F-16 base for a spell.)

Strategic Air Command


Another classic, if not just for the B-36s.


Top of my list!

They mentioned the most obscure planes in Top Gun.

Battle of Britain is the only aviation DVD in my collection...

Top Gun's flying sequences are still very hot, though the story is questionable, yet recently rewatched it and have happy memories now for personal reasons...  :)

Memphis Belle is enjoyable

So is Pearl Harbour when you don't think to much... lol

Didn't see Flight Of The Intruder here anywhere, did I?

I also remember a BBC show on the tv, where a guy would race a Spitfire trough the english countryside, while some people time it from the garden of a castle. Vague, I know, but it's all I remember... lol


But... THE most hilarious pilot ever is never seen flying...

Lord Flashheart - Blackadder goes Forth! Trust me... lol

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
