262 pilots wish their 262s could do that.

Well...it's nice to see a plane film...but it looks a bit...well...Flyboys-ish, and I have a feeling will serve to exaggerate the myth of the P-51 as a super-weapon. (Disclaimer: I am not stating the P-51 was not good...it was good, a damn good fighter, but not as good as people make it out to be).

So, looks to be a good action flick, and it does good for telling the tale of the Tuskegee airmen, but I don't think accuracy is going to be a headliner for this one.
