The Barry Seal film
 

Looks like September will have another aviation themed film coming out, "American Made" detailing the life of commercial aviator who worked for the cartels, the CIA, and the DEA.


They started pushing promotion of it today:

If it's kept technically accurate it could be an interesting film. Based on the trailer (link above) my guess is 50/50 on whether it will be worth watching. Granted the Sully trailer was kind of lame too, but that film turned out to be pretty good.

This was a old one about Barry Seal, 1991.

"Top if your class in civil air patrol". WTF


In the other hand, I know of a pilot in his early 60's that hasn't worked since the 1980's. His choice of aircraft was a Piper Aerostar. Could be interesting.

looks like a fun movie to watch. I usually dont care about small details because its a movie!

Same director who did Bourne Supremacy movies. should be decent

looks interesting. and the cast is decent. will keep my eye on it, always tend to miss movies/gigs I'm interested in

Sep 29 is release date

Ah yes, Mena, the garden spot of the universe.

All the stories we could tell
And if it all blows up and goes to hell
I wish that we could sit upon the bed in some hotel
Just listen to the stories we could
Yes I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some hotel
And listen to the stories it could tell

Commenting in another sub forum about a youngster who's apparently learned a hard lesson. Small potatoes for the most part but got me reflecting on the glib reply above. A life can run on random, a while. If the lure is enchanting enough, absent a steady compass, where you are when, can steer you as if fate. False fate. Pass this along, FWIW, because it was widely acknowledged, appearing in local newspaper accounts.

An Air Force officer resigns, commitment fulfilled. Laid back guy, opens a dive shop in a well-healed community. Awesome mentor. From this cloud, mate dive charters, service private aircraft, work the desk, run errands, socialize inappropriately within an older circle. Start flying. Two of my best friends from middle school are dealing. Weed. Cozy business connection, happy days. Coke arrives. The money explodes but people get crazy with it and do crazy things for it. The dive shop's proprietor is married, little ones at home. As, or so it appears to most of us, operating becomes too sporty to continue, he disappears. About two years on, a shot up twin containing his remains, publically identified by Columbian authorities. Didn't know until the service, the deceased's father, a retired Air Force general and combat veteran. The mother inconsolable.

This movie, I'm sure it will be entertaining. Ruined countless innocent lives, those times. Different now. Still very much with us & your kids. Reality behind the cinematic romance; more drugs to choose from than ever, killing more than ever, this very minute.
