Almost anything by Little Richard would qualify. After more than 50 years, people are still arguing about they meant or even what they were.
Thanks for posting the video! Reminds me of the one and only time I saw a Vulcan in flight: a low level display at Transpo ’72 at Dulles Airport in 1972. I was amazed that such a big plane could be so agile. It confirmed my love of deltas.

What’s that film with Kirk Douglas as a French officer who is trying to clear the names of several French soldiers during WW1?
Paths of Glory.
I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned this already:
Setback — pings no longer thought to be related to MH370:
In contrast, the two-seat P-39 conversion had the new seat up front:
Those reports of pinging — encouraging, but not yet conclusive:

The family is now safely aboard the Perry-class frigate USS Vandegrift (FFG-48):
In the comments sections of the news reports on this story, there are high praises for the rescuers — and heavy criticism for the couple who took children ages 1 and 3 out to sea on a sailboat.
Some have suggested that the hijackers — if it was hijacked — might have donned oxygen masks and depressurized the plane, rendering the other occupants unconscious and then dead.
But wouldn’t that have set off an alarm and deployed the passengers’ masks, enabling at least one to send off a message?
The zig-zag course — a gambit to burn off fuel and lighten the 777 prior to landing on a short runway?
But wouldn’t flying low achieve the same effect — and evade radar at the same time?
Point-counterpoint — so much possible, so little certain.
Newsflash — Malaysian official states that the missing 777 was hijacked:

Blew out a spark plug
Maybe that’s why he’s now Dr. Diesel (and flying slightly smaller planes):
Given his obvious fondness for Chipmunks and Austers, perhaps these can help:
And let’s also remember the forgotten Twin Bonanza….
Especially since it served with the U.S. Army as the Seminole — L-23, later U-8 — from 1953 to 1992 — 39 years!
the Queen Air….which is basically a Twin Bonanza with a “cabin class” fuselage
Originally developed as the L-23F, later U-8F. Besides those procured new, the Army acquired three second-hand: one purchased and two captured from drug smugglers!
I’d thought that you would like it. I also saw plenty of Encyclopaedia Britannica films in school and they were pretty good. I still remember the ticking sound of those bluish green 16mm Bell & Howell Filmosound projectors.
Here’s another EB flying film with plenty of classic planes (and the world’s first SUV wagon at about 3:40):
Glad you enjoyed it, Andy. Interesting to see the 47 and the S-55 early in their long and storied careers. Despite its name, Encyclopaedia Britannica Films was actually based in Chicago and shot most of their pictures in that area.
