Movie flying: capricorn 1 (part 6-last)

[beaky]

The end of this little spamfest:


The only model shots in this scene; pretty well-done... splash one chopper!!



...and the other!! Good thing bad guys are always so stupid in the movies...



Exit the hero, etc., etc. I won't give away the ending of the movie; you'll have to rent it and see.



Giving credit where it's due:





This was one of Tallman's last projects: ironically, he was killed flying VFR into bad weather in a Piper, after years of crazy stunt-flying. Scud running... never a good idea, no matter how skilled and experienced the pilot.

That actually looks like a good movie....how long is it? What is it's name? How did you find out about it?

It's a feature; about 1 1/2 hrs long.

It's called Capricorn One...

I heard about it when it was in theaters in 1978... ! Never did get to see it in the theater, though... too bad.

Seen it on TV a few times, but recently I rented the DVD from Netflix.
It's typical goofy Hollywood stuff, but worth seeing for the flying!!
