One of the all-time great fighter-pilot movies. "Coo-coo, daddy-o!"
Not the greatest, but one of my favorites. Little-known fact: As a former USAAF pilot, Jimmy Stewart had a lot of fun. In the scene where he is being checked out in the B-36 the rest of the crew get up and go for coffee, leaving Stewart alone in the cockpit. The fun part is that the B-36 was big enough for a camera to be placed in the cockpit. It was filmed in flight, and Stewart was actually flying the plane.
Brigadier General James Stewart also went along for a check ride in a B-52 over Vietnam.

I can. I've never figured out why, but
Dr. Strangelove has always put me off.
