Does anyone remember Blue Tornado
Anyone remember the 1991 film Blue Tornado with Dirk Benedict and Patsy Kensit , great inside of the AMI with F-104, Tornadoss, S-61R and AB-212 as well as NATO Sentry. Just got it in the post from Amazon
Thought the beginning of the film with the scramble good, though where did the F-21 Kfir come from? Unless the air to air scene was shot with a 104 deployment to MCAS Yuma or NAS Oceana and exercise with the VMFAT-401 'Snipers' F-21 Kfir

Saw it once years ago - istr most of the "Air Combat" stuff was RC models 
As TaxyDual says, not quite in the Avatar league; once was one too many.

For more info on what seems to be a very mediocre movie, see: Blue Tornado (1991)

Can you believe this is the way we train NATO fighter pilots? The final scene of Blue Tornado involves the hero climbing a mountain. Col. Long (Dirk Benedict) has to climb this mountain to encounter the aliens. So, how does he prepare? He gets the aged father of his missing buddy to guide him. Col. Long lets the old man carry all the supplies in a huge pack. The old man also has the only ice axe. Col.Long just walks along following the old man. Just when you get feeling good and sorry for the tired old man, he slips and falls. It looks like a broken leg, and Col. Long is forced to leave the old man to spend the night alone on a narrow ledge. Does Col. Long provide first aid or pick up the pack or the ice axe? - No, he continues on his quest so he can get there before dark. I won't spoil the ending, but Col. Long does not have any emergency provisions when he faces it. "
