Very nice HasBiba!  :-ok Ive seen many times the Mirage 2000-5F. They are hoovering over the farm of my uncle in low-altitude at least 2 times a day. He lives in Burgundy where they operate from Dijon-Longvic air base and fly to training in Jura mountains area :)

Top Gun, great in its time, excellent air-to-air shots of the F14, in this clip they have mixed the film along with some flight sim footage

Found this picture by chance in a german wikipedia article. Thought it would best fit in this thread here  :)

Did anyboy see "The Blue Max".  They had a collection of homemades, Tiger Moths and a French monoplane.  I thought it was a good flick.

There were two versions of "Dawn Patrol" with Errol Flynn.  I think the Brit planes were actually French and the Germans were a Pfalz DXII and a variety of American biplanes tarted up to look like Jerries.   Also Howar hughes made "Hells Angels".  If I remember correctly they had a Zpp (model) in that one.

But lots of sequences with A-1 "Sandy" Skyraiders and a HH-3 "Jolly Green Giant" ; shorter apearence of  A-7 Corsair, C-2 Greyhound and the F-4 Phantom II

and from the laughing side,
Hot shots !
Farey Gnat in all its splendor !

I asked this question on another forum and got no reply, maybe you guys can help. There is a movie called "Target" with Gene Hackman. At the end of the movie, they are in a hanger in Eastern Europe. There are fuselages and parts all over the place. The aircraft are radials and almost look like He-270's. Does anyone know what they are?

don't know the movie...
don't find any picture minus the Hackman/Dilon duo

but if you can post a picture taken on your TV screen, this could be a interesting quizz...

Well
I've found again my list : more 200 movies but only nearly 50 really AVIATION and nothing else; one hundred or so with lots of sequences ; others are with some sight of aircraft lesser seen...
I need some time to update and complete it as lots of them are french title perhaps unknown to most of you...

I dont know but somehow i was remind of a movie i had just recently seen some month ago. It was about the cold war between russia and usa. And i think it was in Black/white. One part played in Alaska where they had some bombers. The story was about that they had implemented a new computer system and because of a malfunction a wing of US bombers was orderd to bomb Soviet Union. The movie was very good from the suspense. In the end the two presidents made phone calls and tried to shot down the US Bombers but one of four came through the russian defense. If i only could remember the title ......
