This documentary can be viewed for free on Hulu (www.hulu.com). It is an inspiring story of two Navy pilots' journey into becoming F-14 pilots, plus it will be of special interest to Tom and Quaker..... ;)

Thanks FullAuto! I started to watch it and I couldn't stop. It was AWESOME!!! Both pilots had amazing stories.

Sorry full auto, but when I went to access the page I got got just hulu's homepage. If you have a link to something that would make me and Tom bond,I would pay you for it. ;D Seriiously, the ony two things we have in common is that we both believe in the 2A and we both took the King's shilling and put on the uniform when we were 18. In my mind that covers a lot.You voluntered, or you didn't. I'm in the magic class of '91 and I still feel that way. I would like to see the vid so if you have a better link, please post.

2. Try searching for Speed and Angels on hulu - worked for this Northern boy

Quaker,
I'm not going to spoil it for you, so I think the problem is you don't have an account on Hulu. Creating one is easy and doesn't cost you anything- the same concept as Yahoo! Mail. Don't just read the synopsis, but watch it because it touches on (but the story is not about) what you, Tom and I have discussed several times in the past.
I thought it was very inspirational and really like it! And I think you and Tom will really like it. :)

Glad you liked it, JB. I had the same reaction too....And I think your emoticon is great!! ;D
When I was a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot and that's what I would think about all the time. I loved "Baa Baa Blacksheep" and any WWII programs that featured fighter pilots and their planes. The two planes I would love to fly today are the P 51 Mustang and the Spitfire. I love the sound of their engines and they seem to handles so well in the sky......Enough daydreaming...
-
P51 and the Corsair for me.
-
WISPERING DEATH CORSAIR
-
Yep the F4U Corsair. It and the P51D are beautiful birds.

OK, Quaker, since you might be "Hulu challenged", try this link:

Pathetic.......
;D

F4U is my favorite...have a model I built years ago on the bookshelf. I fell in love with the Corsair watching Baa, Baa Black sheep also. Worked the F-4E for a couple years before switching to the F-16A/B/C/D/E and F. Guess I got a thing for bent wings.
...and Speed and Angels is "Shit Hot" (for a Navy flick)

Beautifully filmed and mesmerizing. Thanks FullAuto.
Your aircraft choices are the exact ones that I have loved since childhood. The Spitfires and the Battle of Britain captured my imagination at a young age and the P51 Mustang was and is an aircraft that has some of the most beautiful lines ever seen. Both LOOK like they were the perfect flying machines.
Looking at the beauty of modern aircraft I have to go with the FA18.

Thanks, Kid! I have to say that your taste in aircraft is very good too! ;D
When it comes to jet aircraft, I love the SR 71. If you ever get a chance to go see the air museum outside of Dayton, OH, go. I spent several hours in the WWII section and I never made it to the modern era stuff. It is an impressive collection of planes.
