    Just watched "Red Tails" again... and man 'o Manischewitz, that is one
    helluva movie!
    That's the flight sim I want! ...I mean welcome to super CG land, right?
    (and you only need a military super computer to run it!)

    The flight models are a bit less than 1% though, I want to know how to pull those high G snap loops. Good film though!

    Yes that wuz a bit sci-fi... also the ability to cha-cha amidst a tight bomber stream... amazing piloting skills.

    It looked pretty, but I was overall disappointed. Their story is worthy of a Band of Brothers scale retelling, but Lucas opted for the comic book route, didn't even portray the actual people, just composite characters.

    What he said!

    Lucas has a habit of screwing up a good thing!

    Icon22 THE Tuskegee Airmen movie...

    As to the original... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlIYNY9KCjQ and if you've not seen it, check it out...
    'cause our beloved YouTube has a way of losing stuff if someone even looks at it cross-eyed
