Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is cool althought its not really a flying movie. When they are cruising in the bomber I think its pretty cool. I saw The Concorde: Airport '79 the other day.. Kind of funny to see a Concorde barrel roll and preform invasive maneuvers

The Great Waldo Pepper with Robert Redford.

The Blue Max with George Peppard (the German side of Fly Boys).

The one about Bull Meecham is pretty good.

"The Great Santini", not much flying, but a great movie.

Dr. Strangelove is a great movie, a classic, but not too much flying in it.

Isn't there about three 1970's "airliner disaster" movies? The Concorde one, the 747 one where it is hit by a small plane, and the one that sinks and rests on the bottom of the ocean intact?

I've only heard of the concorde one. I'd like to see the other two the 747 one sounds kinda cool.

Those are are the "AIRPORT" movies. The original was a 707 that had some kind of problem. It was the basis for it's more famous spoof---"AIRPLANE".

The one with the airplane at the bottom of the ocean features Jack Lemmon as the Captian. After the aircraft settles to the bottom of the sea, he tells the passengers who are worried about running out of air------

WE ARE STILL PRESSURIZED

If I remember correctly, a plane hits the 747 in the FO's side and he gets sucked out. The CA is injured (blinded?) and the flight attendant flys until Charleston Heston gets lowered into the hole by cable from a another jet in front of them. I remeber seeing it on TV when I was a kid.
