The message does seem to be that you can win over a Russian spy if you buy them an American steak……

For those of you who have not watched JET PILOT you can save yourself the agony of sitting through the whole thing by watching 7:51 seconds of the flying bits on Youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Zsmr8nXsI

My apologies! I soon learned why it’s so rarely shown!

Yesterday is re-running “Forgotten Pilots”, probably worth more of an investment of Moggy’s time.

I was given this as part of a box set. Basically the Russian spy is welcomed and immediately offered flights in all the latest USA fighters (or at least they were when filming started even if they were obsolete 8 years later when the film was released). Not sure why you would do that!!!
Seems to me it was just an excuse for Howard Hughes to to make a film using the latest US kit and he lost interest in it.

Oh dear. That’s two hours I’ll never get back.
Thanks anyway – it was an experience.
