Very underrated movie, IMHO. There’s a comedy with Teri Garr - “Miracles” - with some funny aerial scenes.
As for favorite aviation movies:
1. Flying Leathernecks
2. Men of the Fighting Lady
3. Midway
And for the NSA trolls, FU.
I had forgotten about the Flying Leathernecks. Great flick.
I've seen "Battle of Britain" and "Strategic Air Command", and "12 O'Clock High" a million times.
The MST3K version of "Starfighters" is great - starring B1 Bob.
The more recent "Memphis Belle" was good.
Haven't seen "Red Tails" yet.
If you like subdued Irish romantic comedies "Waiting for Dublin" features a downed American in Ireland trying to get his 5th kill in order to pay off a mobster in Chicago when the war is over and falling for a local redhead i the process.
1. Flying Leathernecks

Reminded me.... Flying Tigers
If a TV series is permitted here, there was the Black Sheep Squadron. Flew Corsairs and had some great scenes of dogfights with the Japanese Zeros.
