Here’s a short trailer for an upcoming movie that I expect I’ll be seeing.
God, to be twenty-something again, and have it all in front of me. (And thanks to occasional reader Kim, for the link.)

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!![]() Subscribe![]() CategoriesPagesTagsacademy

Here is another one I have high hopes for;
Flyboys
There is also another one with actor and mustang owner (bastard!) Tom Cruise, The Few. Hopefully Hollywood won’t attempt to de-Anglify the Battle of Britain.
Will you publish more if you find out when it will be released?
Thanks.
Those sure were some pretty Tomcats in that clip..
Interesting that Hollywood should come out with movies showing American fighter pilots fighting for foreign countries before America got “embroiled” in their wars.
Oh, and Mark? Spfft!
FWIW, the latest issue (July 06) of Air & Space Smithsonian has a nice article and photos of the upcoming movie Flyboys which will not only be a Cruise-free zone, but feature *real* Neuport 17′s, Real Fokker DR1′s, Se5′s, etc. mixing it up in the skies over ersatz France (actually England in this case). Good article, good photos — looks like something worth the waiting for
OBTW, the cover item? One of my personal favorites, a Douglas F4D
