Romanator, you have some gems there. Anything with Jimmy Stewart. That Robert Redford flick is actually very, very good. I personally liked Flyboys. Final Countdown was fun, sort of a scifi flick.

Apocalypse Now is just a heck of a war movie (most of it) and the choppers coming in over the beach is just a classic scene.

Flyboys
Pearl Harbor
Top Gun
Chevalieurs du Ciel
Dark Blue World
Stealth

Tora!Tora!Tora! is quite boring on the beggining.But the last scenes are awesome.

i realy like this topic !
it reminds me a lot of films i saw in the past - long long ago sometimes and therefore forgotten by myself till now :)


another one i remember is "Darling Lili" :D :
It made use of Lynn Garrison’s aviation facility at Weston Aerodrome, Leixlip, Ireland. This collection of World War I replica fighter aircraft, facilities and support equipment was originally put together in support of 20th Century Fox’s 1966 film The Blue Max. The aerial fleet included a sole Caudron 277, two Fokker DR 1s, three Fokker D VIIs, two Se 5as and two Pfalz D IIIs (all full-scale replicas). In addition, the studio contracted with Slingsby Aircraft Ltd to build six 7/8th scale SE 5s (the "Mini SE 5").[1] The Paramount production utilized the assembled aircraft for thousands of flying hours and accumulated hundreds of hours of aerial footage. Pilots were drawn from the Irish Air Corps and civilian circles.

Not a movie,but quite relevant.The Cockpit:
