Skyfighters

The 2005 French movie "Skyfighters" is on SBS2 at 8:30pm (ie 10 min). Its basically a French version of Top Gun. The plot is just as bad. The girl is not as cute as Kelly McGillis but the filming of the flying is sooo much better.

I you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour.

No wonder young Skywalker wasn't keen to join his Father.

Ramble On

In the iPad APP store, search for Vdownload lite. Download it to your iPad and you can then use the search function to find a stack of aviation movies. The APP searches for movies that have been loaded to YouTube.

There is a load of other stuff as well.

There is also a lot of historical material there as well, B&W and colour. TSR2, Typhoon, early jets, etc.
