That was really good. The Computer Graphics were amazing for all the airplane parts.

entertaining, great special affects, but a royal rip off of the right stuff movie. 1 laughable thing.......... the pilot's goggles are 1920's / 30's era vintage. a shame they had to use a t-33 for chase when they weren't even in existence in 1947. you'd think with all the t-33's around somebody would modify 1 to it's original p-80 heritage.

it had a terrible echo, echo echo echo in the movie did that do it for you too?

yeah, I thought it was funny seeing the F-80 in there too.

Great graphics. :)

And the Jeep, which looks like an M38, wasn't produced until 1950. :roll:

To be honest I think that is a CJ-2A or MB/GPW. Has the wipers coming from the top of the thin framed windshield.

Could be, it's hard to tell watching it on my laptop here at work. I'll have to watch it again when I'm home. :wink:
