Actually the story is true, but the Hollywood version may still be crap.
"Little Dieter Needs to Fly" was a documentary that came out about 10 years ago and I saw it on HBO. He was born in Germany but was an American citizen who flew in Viet Nam.
Very interesting story and documentary.

Yes, I saw the doc on PBS.

After 10 seconds of the preview, I was ready to throw up.

That's really too bad.

That "Skyraider" tail when the explosion occurs looks an awful lot like a T-6 tail...?

[Jack Cook]

Get a copy of Dengler's book. It's a great story!

Looks pretty awesome to me, I cant wait until it comes out.

Jack, what book would that be?

I didn't know Dirk Diggler flew in Vietnam. I did like his performance in "Boogie Nights".

Trash talking a Skyraider hero

[EDowning]

Just a weak attempt at humor. Surely you have some great Skyraider photos to post and help me get my mind right.

the trailer looked sugar to me

incorrect flightgear using us army SPH-4 helmets what the hell?, they used nomex flight suits.. all wrong

deiter used US navy APH-6 helmets and US navy flight suits.. they could be found on ebay any day cheap if the producers had bothered.

Whats the stupid take off scene? it aint a us carrier but a italian or french carrioer how stupid...

i might go see movie but might be a vocal critic

[Ollie]

Sabredriver, it's a LHD...
