Airplan: 5-11 Sep
Several years back I had the extraordinary privilege to get to know a survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack who had been assigned to one of the gun turret crews onboard the USS Nevada (BB-36). As a junior "hinge" (O-4/LCDR) I was both captivated by the re-telling, first hand, of the accounts of that morning, and…

In any case, back over to you. I think you’re gonna have a tough time sizing up to this one…
That there’s more about Hollywood than real-life.
(And NO FAIR invoking “Bridges!!” SOME things should be Beyond The Pale…)

I suppose the Air Force crew could show a clip from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starfighters This film, starring Ace Pilot Bob Dornan, was almost as underwhelming as “Plan 9 From Outer Space”.
Go Navy!
