yes.... that movies captured the "feeling" that only someone in the military would understand. the music had a melancholy feel to it along with the scenes of the briefings and then the feel of patriotism.... I dunno, hard to explain a feeling.....lol

In the summer of 1980, I saw the movie "Final Coutdown" with a theater full of USS Nimitz crewmembers in Norfolk, VA. This was a month or two after Nimitz returned to port after the failed Iranian hostage rescue attempt. While the movie wasn't that good, there were some great flying sequences in the film. In one particular scene, USN F-14s shot down two Japanese Zero fighters attacking an unarmed yacht. When the order was given for the F-14s to intervene, the sailors erupted in a cheer that sent chills down my spine.
