Clownish Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I forgot about "Always". Great aviation scenes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wasn't it "Octopussy" where they flew the Bede jet through a hangar? I always liked that scene. That was very cool, he did that with a missile tracking him like a bloodhound , wouldn't those follyweird A2A missiles be vicious in combat . Jim Bede's BD-5J was the follow-on to his BD-5; A prop version, one I had some very serious thoughts of purchasing, until reality hit and the pricetag and my on-hand cash and prospect for funds just didn't equate :lol: . Add to that my flying experience and what was needed to fly the BD-5 would have amounted to a smoking hole in someones farm and me on the autopsy table. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I agree completely! That scene ALWAYS gets my vote for best flying scene. One could argue that P-51, F-14s, etc. are designed to do what you see in various movies, but I had no idea a Cessna could be so agile until I saw Iron Eagle. Steven Brown Ahem, what a garbage scene from an atrocious movie. "racing" a motorcycle, you can see plainly that the C-152's flaps are down. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is one exceedingly short sequence taken inside the hangar where you can see the BD-5J is mounted on a pole as it "flies" through. I'm assuming they didn't want anyone inside filming the real one in case something could "go wrong". I don't know who did the flying for that sequence but I think it was Bobby Bishop's airplane. Coincidentally, my 299 Models BD-5J kit was coming out about that time and the movie certainly helped with sales. I think I sold 500 kits in Japan alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 People have already mentioned Flight of the Intruder and Porco Rosso and I think those are particularly good at giving us the feeling of flight and maneuver which is missing in most aircraft scenes in movies. There really should be more of this now that CGI removes the camera limitations of filming real aircraft, but for whatever reason directors are usually poor judges of the physicality of objects and the scenes they make feel inauthentic.

braincells37 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 "Fill 'er up. With Ethyl" "Where?" Believe it or not 1941 started out as a serious movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niki4703 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 There is one Van Damme movie where he's walking along a desert road and from behind, in the distance comes a T-38 roaring at low level... (at 0:25) Desert Heat/ Inferno And something from Rambo II with chopper against the setting sun and music (listen and see if you remember): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr5sns6BJMs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
streetstream Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I really like the scene in 'Catch me if you can' when Leonardo Di Caprio is in the jumpseat of what i believe is a 707 and it is taking off. The rest of the movie has some great 707 scenes and it really shows the true beauty of the type. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Not a movie, but the Texas anti - littering campaign commercial with the B-17. If you haven't seen it YouTube it, its fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) This movie is not about aircraft, but the scenes from "Hunt for Red October" where Jack Ryan is being dropped off by the helicopter on the USS Dallas is wicked killer, and the scenes where the carrier is launching planes to keep tabs on the Bear "F"s, to keep them from locating the US fleet or tracking it is just too cool, although they show a Korean vintage Banshee, when it supposed to be an F-14 that's crashing, stock footage is for the less informed, as it has been used in many movies. The out of control F-100 has been used so much one could predict the scene almost frame by frame . Edited January 26, 2014 by #1 Greywolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jinxter13 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) If you're a prop lover especially from WWII you just gotta be crazy about the flying scenes from "Dambusters" and "633 Squadron", it looks to me like the flying scenes from 633 Sqdn were filmed in what is presently used by the RAF and USAF, and probably others based in the UK as a Mach lane in Wales, well to me at least that's what it look like. If you haven't seen the vids on Youtube check them out you won't be sorry ya did. BTW for the Mossie lovers here's a treat Edited February 8, 2014 by #1 Greywolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Those are good, but my favourite is Mel Gibson landing and taking off his Turbo Porter on the side of that mountain. Truly awesome!! Brad The scenes from the movie A-Team where they are "flying" the Buford M8 armored gun system, as well as when Murdock is riding the rotor blades:"You spin me right-round, baby, right round..." Air America, where Billy confronts the trucker in his helicopter, the beginning scene where the peasant farmer schwacks the C-123 with hit flintlock, and the fight scene in the Au-23 between Gene and Babo over the coloring book.

pacific mustang Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The ones that I watch often is 1. The Final Countdown when the Tomcats overfly the yacht, slow for the 'cats, but mind boggling to the folks on deck, when the strike group launches, and of course when the splash the zeroes +1 to the above, Nothing epitomizes,to me, anyway - the shear fun of being a fighter pilot- as this clip and the Helicopter chase scene from "Capricorn one" great flying Honourable mention Spitfire low pass from " A bridge too Far" ( cant find it on utube) and the dogfight from Tora Tora Tora (once again, cant find on youtube) Bruce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
