What is your favorite aviation movie?
one man's opinion...
Posted on 07/06/2013 4:42:52 PM PDT by ken5050
Well, the cable news networks are non stop with their coverage of the air crash in San Francisco. Looking at the pictures, it seems a miracle that the number of fatalities is so low. If there is one unintended consequence of this crash..at least we will be spared talk about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman for the next few days. As the networks are talking aviation and nothing but, I thought it would be a slight diversion to discuss our favorite aviation themed movies.

I love “SecondHand Lions”, but I never regarded it as an aviation movie...:)

“The High and Mighty” is a great movie as well.

I watched it enough in several phases of USAF PME. And...
Strategic Air Command
Corny, but I love all of the old SAC scenes.

Yep...should have added that one to my list. DiCaprio's Aviator wasn't a bad movie either, more of a period biopic than strictly an aviation movie...

But, but...that beautiful secondhand biplane was so instrumental in the ending.

Does “Apollo 13” count as an aviation movie?

I just saw “Strategic Air Command” recently for the first time, and while it is corny, it has some great, GREAT footage in it!
