Customer Reviews

Great inside look at the Air Force
This is a short 40 minute IMAX movie that I saw at the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum. I really enjoyed learning more about the Air Force and how they train. It is a great look at the sophistication of their machines and training programs. It's a little disorienting, but the effect on IMAX is awesome. It would probably be only 4 stars on a regular screen. Highly recommended.

One of the best!
I currently have about 23 IMAX DVDs, and Fighter Pilot ranks among my favorites. It's a look into the intense training and responsibility given to the pilots, and a having a seat in the jet is thrilling. You get a handle on how these jets, under the guidance of an experienced pilot, are formidable weapons. You also get a feel for the intense multi-tasking the pilots must do during combat. I definitely have a greater respect for these pilots. This film is one of few that I can watch multiple times and enjoy it just as much each timne. I am using a 7 x 9 foot screen, and if you want to get the most of the IMAX film techniques, this is the way to go.

A cool glory pilot flick
I liked the power and technology. I dislike the notion that this power and technology is available to George Warmonger Bush for invasion into sovereign countries based on lies and deceipt.
