Sverige 4 viser filmen Murphy's war i øjeblikket. Den kan varmt anbefales Der er noget ret heftige flyve scener med en Grumman J2F "Duck".

Har du ikke set filmen kan den anbefales. Utroligt hvad man kan med sådan en spand!!

For dem der ikke kender the Duck kan der læses mere her:

Et lille uddrag:
"The JF-1 Duck was an extremely rugged aircraft (as were all Ducks). For example, on December 7, 1937 Marine Sergeant Bernard Belcher flipped his aircraft completely upside down while trying to land in a cross-wind (a particularly hazardous undertaking in a Duck). And, though the JF-1 dug its nose into the ground and somersaulted, the only damage sustained was a few wrinkles in the top of the rudder and fin. Sergeant Belcher was uninjured."

Vildt!!
