[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4214257, member: 27098"] Saw the movie as a kid. Bought the model that included the Nimitz and an F-14 Tomcat, spent a week or so painting the ship and aircraft on the tiny deck. Funny story, one of the small planes from the deck, a Tomcat, I still have! My Mom was into miniatures and it was in a room she made that I Inherited. As for the Nimitz it is lost to time, think one of my cousins got it, same with the Tomcat. Kind of wish I had it back. Heard they had a lot of trouble with the arial scenes since the Tomcats couldn't go as slow as the Zeros, and the Zeros were far slower than the Tomcat's stall speed. Did not like the Charles Durning Character at all. I'll have to catch it again! Actually from a non navy/marine/military guy gave a glimpse into how chaotic it might be to be on an Aircraft carrier. A movie well worth watching for fun. [/QUOTE]
