Iron Eagle is every bit as bad as Top Gun except that Top Gun had some good cinematography. Don't forget WarGames and Broken Arrow ... stupid stupid stupid.

Top Gun did have its faults but it was a pretty good movie. For some reason the Navy draws some pretty good movies: An Officer and a Gentleman, No Way Out, The Hunt for red October, The Caine Mutiny etc. OK, Ok I admit we did have "Navy Seals" with Charlie Sheen, but they can't all be good.

The Air Force had tons of good movies, but most seem to be pre-1947 (Army Air Corps) but its been a lean few decades for the AF. The whole "Iron Eagle" franchise kind of killed the genre.

My favorite part of Broken Arrow was were they beat the crap out of each other while boxing a few hours prior to a mission. I guess a technical advisor was deemed unnecessary.

So, without scrolling through pages and pages to see if anyone brought this up in this thread, I probably am repeating something already asked, but I'll take the risk. When do we get OUR Ipads? I hear United is getting them in January.

You book it under company business, right? That's what I've been doing.

Am I doing something wrong? I am trying to put in a wildcard pickup *3 day, but the computer keeps telling me its an invalid rotation and the help screen doesnt list wildcards. Did I miss a memo?

Where you dont care what trip you get, you just want a certain length of trip. Domestic can end up with something reaaaallllly bad, but in my category, its all 25-32 hours for a 3 or 4 day commutable trip.
