Watched "The Blue Max" this afternoon for the first time in years, still as good as ever. George Peppard was actually doing the flying in some scenes which has to be fairly unique for an actor in a aviation film.

Then onto "Pushing Tin" which as an ex Air Trafficker is always good for a laugh. If only for the quote from the TRACON controller .. "You can land a million planes safely but have one little mid-air and you'll never hear the end of it" .. and of course Angelina Jolie's raspberry ripples ..

Although the opening scene of the airliners tracking in past the twin towers put a chill down the back.
