Pick #1. Dive Bomber (1940)

Shot in color during the transition of USN aircraft
colors from vivid peacetime to drab wartime.
Full Navy co operation shown my those massive
squadron flying sequences. Music is a positive
plus. Available in Video.

Pick#2 Strategic Air Command.
Color, and those flying sequences
are stunning.

Passengers on a commuter plane are waiting for their flight to leave.
They’re getting a little nervous, but the flight attendant assures them the pilots are on their way and the plane will take off momentarily.

Through the rear entrance, two men appear, dressed in pilots’ uniforms. Both are wearing dark glasses. As they make their way up the aisle, one is led by a seeing-eye dog and the other is tapping his cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin as the men enter the cockpit and shut the door.

The engines start. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is a practical joke. But as the plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the passengers realize they’re headed straight for the cliff at the edge of the runway.

As it begins to look as though the plane will plow straight into the
cliff, panicked shrieks fill the cabin. But then, suddenly, the plane
veers and soars smoothly above the cliff. The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly. Soon they all retreat into their books and magazines, secure in the knowledge that the plane is in good hands.

Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot turns to the pilot: “You know, Bob, one of these days they’re going to scream too late and we’re all gonna die.”

One more…..

A man has an hour to kill before his flight to Los Angeles. He decides to kill some time at an airport bar. He walks in and sits down next to a clearly nervous guy, who has three empty whisky glasses in front of him. The man introduces himself to the nervous guy, and buys him a drink. The man asks, “Nervous about flying?”

The nervous guy replies, “N-n-nervous? I’m t-terrified. I j-just know the p-plane is g-going t-to crash and we’re g-going to d-die.”

“Is this your first time flying?”

“N-no, I fly c-cross-c-country all the t-time. It’s m-my job.”

“Why don’t you just ask your boss if you can drive cross-country?”

“H-he would never l-let me do that”

“Why not?” asks the man.

“B-because, I’m the p-pilot.”

Scientists at NASA have developed a gun built specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.

British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made.

When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurtled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof windshield and smashed it to smithereens, crashed through the control console, snapped the engineer’s backrest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin.

Horrified,the Brits sent NASA the disastrous results of the
experiment, along with the designs of the windshield, begging the US scientists for suggestions.

NASA’s short response :……………………

“Thaw the chicken.”

Airline Dog.

Rover, Search

A man is sitting in a plane which is about to takeoff when another man with a dog occupies the empty seats alongside. The dog is sat in the middle, and the first man is looking quizzically at the dog when the second man explains that they work for the airline. The airline rep said “Don’t mind Rover, he is a sniffer dog, the best there is, I’ll show you once we get airborne and I set him to work.”

The plane takes off and levels out when the handler says to the first man, “Watch this.” He tells the dog, “Rover, search.” The dog jumps down, walks along the aisle and sits next to a woman for a few seconds. It then returns to its seat and puts one paw on the handler’s arm.

He says “Good boy.” He turns to the first man and says, “That woman is in possession of marijuana, so I’m making a note of this, and the seat number, for the police who will apprehend her on arrival.” “Fantastic!” replies the first man.

Once again he sends the dog to search the aisles. The dog sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds, returns to its seat and places both paws on the handler’s arm.

The airline rep says, “That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I’m making a note of this, and the seat number.” “I like it!” says the first man.

Once again he sends the dog to search the aisles. Rover goes up and down the plane aisle and after a while sits down next to someone, and then comes racing back and jumps up onto the seat and craps all over the place.

The first man is surprised and disgusted by this, and asks “What’s is going on?”

The handler nervously replies,

“He just found a bomb!”

The US went to war with Spain because the USS Maine was
blown up in Havana Harbor..The US had every right to.
Seventy Years later we find out that a coal dust explosion
destroyed the Maine.

In 1917 the Lusitainia was sunk by a German U Boat
killing innocent civilians, many US included. The US had
a right to go to war against Germany. Eighty years later
we find out that the Lusitania was carrying munitions,
thereby making it a ligitimate target. Other detail still
coming out from under lock and Key…First Lord of the Admiralty
knew there was a German submarine in the area from intercepts but issued no warning to the Lusitainina which was alone and
steering a straight line.

In 1941 the Japanese bombed the US fleet at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii in a sneak attack putting the US into the war.
Shortly before the US had put Japan under an oil embargo,
leaving her fleet with six months worth of oil.

Moral: Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of
what you see.
