    I take it as a NO.

    Perhaps I should dust off my copy of Panzer General 2 and see if I can succeed in Plan des Unternehmen Seelöwe...

    If there are any episodes showing tought fight against serious opponent like Panzerwaffe then I'd be interested to see them.

    True - haha! I well remember at Chelyabinsk Airport the lack of Easyjet type stewards and tape keeping me away from the jet engine intake, I could feel myself being pulled in!!

    I'd much rather watch movie about RAF or Royal Navy - people who actually had to do the fighting.

    Just watched a documentary called 'Airplaneski' about Aeroflop before having to comply with international standards, cracking stuff - pissed up pilots on vody, planes landing without waking the passengers, vody for breakfast meal, whip rounds for parts at the next stop, quick bribe for the pilot for an unscheduled stop....

    Ace!!

    Having said that these pilots are ex-air force, done it, been there rather than some spotty Airbus pilot who's done it all in a trainer....
