Re: Blue Angels Question(s)

Yeah, Devine sure played some "out of character" parts didn't he :-)
Picture him as an over fed Arab in "Ali Baba and the Forty Theives" :-)
The absolute best out of character pilot for me has to be Slim Pickins with
a Texas accent pushing that 52 in "Strangelove". Now THAT was funny!!

I dated a girl whose father was a bombardier with that
group. They just ran God is my Co-pilot" a week or so ago.

For the flying movies though, Island in the Sky may be my
favorite, even if John Wayne looks like he's sawing wood
with the ailerons. Andy Devine was perfect as was the rest
of the supporting crew. Some of the formation flights and
music are beautifully done.

"12'o'clock High",

bicycle, the fence, the

segway sequences

present with Jagger

touch of film making
