General footage, for me it has to be Empire of the Sun. The Mustang attack sequence is spectacular.
It was pretty spectacular. But did you know some of it was done with R/C models?
Here's a blog from one of the pilots involved, the late Mark Hanna

Model Mustangs were produced for the film, however what you see in the movie, with the exception of one scene (where a Mustang is producing smoke if I recall correctly) is all real P-51 footage.
