This really isn't off topic
I remember the opening credits of Rocketeer, in 1991. It was the first movie that just Dad and I went to see, in the theaters. I thought that was pretty cool, I was 4! During those opening credits, the GeeBee rolls out, and Horner was the composer of that timeless piece of music. From that moment I was hooked on not only aviation, but air racing. Thanks Mr. Horner! You are already missed.


One of my favorite pieces of redux to the original;

Thanks for posting that. Another Cessna classic. Makes me want to get out my old Alpha Sim FS9 version and try for a FSX port-over. I already have an AI version flying in my FSX install. My first cousin owns a 170. I have some solo time in it. Flies beautifully.

As someone stated elsewhere, this has been another day the music has died. Such a tremendous legacy.

This was just one of the short films from the height of the AirShowBuzz/Horsemen days. "Write Your Soul..."

Not necessarily aviation, but his Apollo 13 OST always gives me the chills.

Aliens is a movie favorite of mine and his score still gives me chills. (I guess Sulaco's two dropships (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UD4L_Cheyenne) would qualify as aviation related).

In keeping with the theme of the Cessna 170 in the video....

Here's a screen shot of Alpha Sim's Cessna 170 sitting under a hanger on a private grass strip. I modeled this after my cousin's grass strip. I painted the 170 to be representative of his.
