The best aviation film EVER is Stratigic air command!!!!. As with most aeroplane films the story is drivel but the flying sequences are fantastic. In fact the film won several awards for the "technical" bits. The stars of the film are the B-36's . When you get to view it, the first sequence has a B-36 flying over a base ball field. Turn the volume up HIGH!!!!. Jimmy Stewert and June Allison are the human stars and there is an apperance by the bloke who was the second commander on M.A.S.H. I don't think that it is out on DVD yet but it is worth a view.
