    Platoon & Full Metal Jacket are great Vietnam flicks, Oliver Stone & Stanley Kubric.

    I didn’t care for the Thin Red Line, thought the movie was slow & not enough action. Now Patton, that’s a great movie! Longest Day is great too!

    The ME 109E’s in this film where all replicas. Easy way to tell is by the location of the engine exhaust. It’s on the top, when everyone knows that the ME 109’s had the DB 600 series engine which was an inverted, Fuel injected, V-12. The birds in Battle of Brittain film where Hispano-Suiza built a/c.

    If any of you would like to see the REAL Memphis Belle, just Visit Memphis Tennesee where it is on Disnply, oddly enough, I don’t think it was ever in the Smithsonian Museum, even though it was the first American B-17 bomber to complete 25 missions. I would like to see her for myself.

    QF is part of OneWorld along with British Airways, American Airlines, Aer Lingus & Cathay Pacific. I’m sure there’s a few more if I’ve missed any someone add them.

    The A-1 Skyraider an ugly bird? I think not! It is the largest single seat piston engine aircraft ever built, had an excellent service record in Vietnam. Now the A-6 Intruder, that’s a quasi-ugly plane. How about the P-26 Peashooter? That was ugly!

    Nice QF pics, as far as El Al goes, those Isralis do almost the same thing at LAX, they have Airport PD follow them to the end of the runway, plus someone sits in a car behind the plane on the ramp with binoculars looking around, plus they carry a machine gun, not to mention but they wand all of the bagroom workers even after they’ve gome through security, I used to work at LAX in the Bradley bagroom loading up BA and seeing this.
