Willem Dafoe is so cool, his gay characters seem straight.

I lived at Barbers Point during the middle Nineteen-Sixties. It was a cool place back then. The beaches there, back then, were beautiful. WWII refuge was still strewn up and down the shoreline. Cement pillboxes; rusted-out vehicles. Gun mounts. The old, dome-shaped persuit-plane hangers were still there, at Barbers Point, back then. Hangers still had WWII gear in them, back during the Sixties. My Father used to bring me home real cool stuff. Barbers Point was cool, back in the Sixties.

I loved his portrayal of Virgil Cole. He was like the Cool Hand Luke of pilots.

You just set yourself up for a Flight of the Intruder quote. Lt. Jake Grafton: "Fighter pukes make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY!"

Both movies are great when you consider that most movies since are strictly computer animation/CGI for the flight scenes.
