1960 first flight of the Intruder. What an awesome aircraft that was.

The movie, from a book written by Dale Coons ( I think) is very good, depicting the role of the Intruder in Viet Nam, an aircraft with no defensive armament.

Homo critics panned it as a guy-bonding movie.

The scene with the A-1s m(SAR). which seems to be in slow motion, are amazing.

Not to diminish the ground pounders, all the aviators in the conflict had big ones!
(especially the helicopter pilots)
