Splash The Zeros, Pt. 1

Duration: 06:08 minutes
Upload Time: 2007-09-25 09:30:50

Part one of a two-part look at one of the best sequences of the movie "The Final Countdown" (© 1980, Polyc International, B.V.), showing two F-14 Tomcat fighter-interceptor jets, launched from the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Nimitz, identifying various contacts, and then engaging two of them (two Japanese Zero fighter planes) after being carried back in time by a strange storm. Awesome footage from an awesome movie (from the era of the cold war between the United States and the former Soviet Union)! Hat's off to the naval aviators who did the top-shelf flying in this movie!

They couldn't make a movie like this today, it would have to have a pice of ass and a horrible love story which would fuck up the whole point of the flick.

lol that's "two trophy-class Mitsubishi A6Ms in original condition!" "A6M" was one of the designations assigned to the Zero (one of the few variants of the class).
