Karl Malden to the rescue....

Actually, that's a pretty good display of airmanship for a Hollywood movie. Clearly, that part was written by someone who knew a thing or two about real-world flying.

That's worth amedal and a comission... didn't go so well when Slim Pickens tried to open the bomb door in Dr Strangelove...:))

Ha ! I'll take 45 min to fire up the KC-97 !!

@Blahblobify Technically you were right, the old birds were ready to be replaced. Problem was, the replacements were an awful bad maintenance nightmare, lol. I have yet to hear of one Bone Crew Chief who spoke fondly of his bird. Then again, I used to hear my BUFF Crew Chief suite-mate b_tch about his aircraft too, usually after another 12-hour shift :-{

Well....right now the airborne laser platform requires a 747 stacked with equipment and a power generator as big as an office building, by the time they miniaturize it the Buff will surely be out of service. I'n stunned they are still flying, when I was in them in the late 70's we thought the old bird was ready to be replaced.

@Blahblobify The gunners will come back, when the Airborne Laaazzuuuurs get installed on the tails when they realize they can't EW-spoof the missiles anymore lol!

It's funny how in the old days, male characters always sounded like radio announcers.

@rickcain2320 Yeah I first saw those helmets in a sci fi film called 12 to the Moon made in 1960.
-
I always thought those were the coolest looking helmets ever.
Do you think you'll ever post the whole movie?
