Augustinev - wow thats something!  Hats Off - what aircraft are they - mig 21 or gnats? Also how did they fly compared to todays modern fighters?
Was just thinking of Vijeta and sure enough they are showing it for the next 3 days on good old DD! Catch it for those who haven't seen it.

How could I forget "Where Eagles Dare"?

Though factually incorrect, it showed a Bell Model 47 Helicopter (The Goldfish Bowl) as a German helicopter used during WW2.



The Model 47, much loved by our own Bollywood film makers of the seventies, had it's first flight on 8th. Dec. 1945, much after WW 2 ended.

Flatspin_King, you can't compare apples with pineapples.

The MiG21 and the Hawker Siddley Gnat just don't measure up on the same platform. Each had/has it's own intrinsic flight characteristics. The Gnat earned a sobriquet of "The Sabre Killer" in '71, primarily because it could turn inside the F - 86.

However, let Gusty fill you in on the finer details............................

Vikalp, my dear, Wing Commander Augustine is a veteran fighter pilot who has headed MOFTU (MiG Operational Flying Training Unit) and has just relinquished the post of Commanding Officer of OCU (Operational Conversion Unit) Kalaikunda Air Base.

Not only that, he has seen service during Operation Vijay (Kargil)

He is not just a Fighter Pilot, he is THE Fighter Pilot!!!

Govind Nihlani's Vijeta, my all time favourite ...

Yes Augustine Sir, Vijeta is one of my favorite, and also Border, made on a real war theater instance. And who can forget Grave yard of Tanks created by Brave gallant Pilots of IAF.

Another one of my favorite is "Behind Enemy lines" mentioned by Ujjwaana above.

VC - not comparing gnats and mig 21's at all. I just vaguely remembered that they were more or less from the same era -  although the mig was clearly superior. Both were used in the 1965 war, although according to wikipedia the migs were inducted in IAF 1964 and due to limited numbers and limited pilot training did not play a dominant role 1965. But were very effective in 71. Hadnt seen Vijeta in a while so couldnt remember what they were flying ...

Btw its not a movie but I try not to miss "Aircrash Investigation" on Nat-geo

Information sharing improves knowledge of both.



"Vijeta" and "The Rescue" is my heart touching movie in which professionalism covers personal feelings and devotion for family is main. Some may say that less acting during propose to supriya pathak, but I must say "excluding over reacting of filmy and full of reality."

Of course "The rescue" have very little (last) part of flying a large plane by a non-pilot and may be with some facinating part of pyrotechnology, but I prefer when the lad opens his coat to show his national flag on tea-shirt to introduce them-self so that fighters not hurt them.
