The Worst

Desert Thunder
A group of mavericks, misfits and convicts are trained for a secret deniable operation in Iraq. Led by Daniel Baldwin he trains them in USA where their training base get attacked by Iraqis.
After killing the Iraqis and the token bird running from their heli gunships in a bi-plane causing the helis to crash into mountainsides, they embark on their mission.

They get airborne from USA and fly non-stop to Iraq in their F16s (famed for their bubble canopies, but not a lot of people know that just behind the pilots head is a 5' x 5' MDF firewall!!!)
After getting cleared into Iraqi airspace by a carrier in the Med they coast into Iraq over it's western coast(!) and attack the airfield, then fly all the way back home non-stop for tea & medals.


My Dad got it free by answering a question in his local paper.
This film probably went straight to DVD it's so bad, which explains why they had to resort to giving it away in local evening papers.
