Re: ‘Final Countdown’ or ‘Top Gun’ ?

I'm surprised nobody answered yet...

...Iron Eagle!

Yes, I know, different airplane! Though, despite the general crappiness of the movie, I have to say the race scene is quite cool. The stuntman flying Doug's 152 was Art Scholl, who later died while filming Top Gun's flat spin scene.

Re: Do VerticalScope(Torstar) really care about Airliner.net

The average number of daily uploads is around 450 and until fairly recently it would take nearly four weeks for shots to be screened. To put that into perspective, the main rival site averages over four times as m...

Re: Gamers, have you ever fallen back in love with a game?

One game I find myself periodically returning to is the space shooter FreeSpace 2 from 1999, considered the "unlucky sibling" to the X-Wing and Wing Commander series due to the poor sales despite the positive reviews. It was given to me as a Christmas gift, I played the main campaign a cou...

Re: Separate airports connected by a taxiway

In Italy, Ghedi air base (LIPL) and Montichiari airport (LIPO/VBS) were once connected by the "German taxiway" built by Organisation Todt in 1944 during the German occupation of Italy.
Its remains are still barely visible on Google Maps.
