you boys sound lonely welcome to vf32

world to fragments

Stalin and the Soviets field tested

their own bomb

design as ours I'd say that they're hot

on our heels but this footage is already

six months old it won't be long before

they strap that thing to a bomber oh get

that for me would you

so

now you know

fellas are not just here to fly and

screw

because they're not sitting idle but

with practice there is not a pilot on

this planet who can wipe the ass of a

United States Naval aviator and I truly

believe that

no now pops kenning you got Mooring

well every you got good

and some brown you've got Lieutenant

hudner today

yes sir

Matt's you can take Callaway all right

Maps out lights on let's go all right

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

toys you want to make

pretty slick flying for a nav hub

I can't learn everything from a book

or at the Academy

[Music]

oh there's no one the plane

and it's flat heading what are you gonna

find out about your wingman cruising at

10 000 feet lieutenant

put them in a little bit of trouble who

knows

you might get a peek at who he really is

how about I buy you a beer

plane to talk about between who I am and

not getting just killed on devops

so it was nice Lieutenant but I don't

drink

you can see the lighthouse

I did

[Music]

shout time boys

so the gulf stream's all right it tends

to be a little busy a lot of locals but

a lot of college girls like to go out on

school nights so Dallas is good on

Thursdays Denver's is the move to make

on Saturdays and Sundays if you don't

mind the coming

just think of that as an investment

though

but I gotta warn you no matter where you

go it is rough these days

all right girls around here do not go

for

participation medals despite what they

say they are looking for that wartin

that he wrote In

here that's only savoli

got Navy cross and he's got a wife might

be connected

well you ain't married are you no

I'll start with the Navy figure out the

rest later smart man

how'd you come in I play The Academy

right after Pearl Harbor I wanted to

help

that's what we all did

but yeah show up to find the heroes are

made the fleet's mothballed

mm-hmm

or ended a month before I graduated

and I suppose we were born a few years

too late

or too early

The Whole World's looking different

hell did you ever think that you'd be in

a squadron with a colored Aviator

well I didn't come here tonight

cheers that all right

how it clams

[Music]

[Applause]

girl

[Music]

little little

[Music]

bit hi

[Music]

you are just in time to get dinner

together

yes ma'am

[Music]

may I have a dance first

always

[Music]

I saw a neighbor on my way again

[Applause]

[Music]

one can look nice didn't I

I thought you looked like that

mean old hand

[Music]

s

come on

that's cheap strength and numbers

darling you're gonna pinch your baby I'm

gonna pay one of my babies

[Applause]

[Music]

well I know a powder can't slide

you wonder what you got that from

[Music]

that we surrender

well it was well fought Soldier but

sadly you were no page

[Music]

officers

awfully loud in here

neighbors made a noise complain

must have been a nice looking one

[Music]

[Music]

morning boys

seems one of our reconnaissance planes

went down over the Baltic a few days ago

now what you won't see here in the

newspaper is the photos the Pentagon has

Navy flight uniforms washed up on the

shore

and the landing gear which is absolutely

riddled with bullets that is more than a

quiet Act of aggression Washington wants

us ready to respond to the Russians

[Music]

it's what we're going to get ready with

say hello to the F4U Corsair

through the hog a little after the war

the Navy's gone and made them fatter and

meaner now I know that the Corsair will

be new for a lot of you but don't worry

just like yours truly she under stripes

in the Big Show Now this is a plane that

will get your hands dirty you're going

to be so close to the action you start

to think that you made the mistake of

joining the Army now I gotta mention

she's got a rather unfortunate nickname

the Widowmaker

good thing I ain't hitched well they

also call it the Anson Eliminator

this engine is one of the most powerful

things you'll ever fly behind you

throttle her too hard she'll spin you

over she's got enough torque to flip a

house so go easy on the power CAG wants

us up to speed and fast

so manuals are getting dropped off in

the ready room any other questions

God help you take him up with the good

professor kenning here

all right

oh she looks pretty mean huh

she's a beautiful Professor K she's

awfully you don't know what you're doing

foreign

[Music]

thank you

guys said you had family nearby

across the bay in Fall River

they must be happy

having it back I think they'd be a

little happier if I were coming back to

work for the family

supposed to take over my old men's

grocery stores

it's called to Adventure

what about you what brought you here

always wanted to fly

I'm going to fly with the best Pilots

flew

that didn't anything

thanks for the lift of course

ma'am

Tom hudner

Daisy

can I get you something to drink

I'm sure Lieutenant hudner has plans

better be getting back man

beautiful house by the way

nice to see it from the ground

play nice what

play nice

I don't know about him yet

where's our car

what's up baby sleeping

[Music]

tires are probably gone

[Music]

stand by for check time hey lieutenant

I think she likes me

famous last words

[Music]

he's not gonna bite

you know it's not in the manual

how big this damn nose is

how the hell are you supposed to land on

a carrier if you can't see it not

everything's in the same place Carol but

everything's the same

just in different places hey you know I

crashed a bearcat when I was wanting to

fly it you're like you better not let

good hear you say that too late

thank you

many outstanding fighter pilot

achievements may seem almost

unbelievable

but once you have learned how they

accomplished these victories and the

system they use you'll realize it's just

a trick of the trade share it out by

fighting men with the ability and know

how that it takes to win aerial violence

[Music]

the keynote of fighter tactics in the

United States Navy today is teamwork

teamwork coordination cooperation call

it what you will gives the fighter its

greatest value in his scoring bombers

and torpedo planes on their missions

in enabling fighters to protect other

fighters in winning engagements that may

mean the losing or the saving of a

carrier

you have to fight them with your head

using your judgment

your skill and plane handling and your

Superior Gunnery to turn the odds in

your favor

of life insurance to make every Split

Second count

as you were gentlemen as you were

I'm captain Thomas Sisson

and I command the USS lady now we have

learned that the Soviets are jocking for

a warm water port in the Mediterranean

now they think they can bully their way

into Europe and spook our new NATO

allies well DC thinks it's best that we

prevent them from doing so we are

crewing up to keep the Cold War from

turning hot and savoli here tells me

this is the best place to do so we ship

out next week

look forward to having you on board

all right

you remember when I told you to get up

to speed and fast

I'm in speedier and faster

carrier quals are at the end of the week

you can't land a Corsair on the latey

well you get yourself a nice dry land

job in Topeka or someplace even shittier

gotta help you

either way

start settling up your bar tab boys

we are leaving Rhode Island

just because I'm going doesn't mean

I'm fighting

Daisy

that's the deal darling

remember

we knew this day might come

yeah it doesn't make it any easier

thank you

but we'll be okay

mad

okay

okay

okay Jesse what's going on

honestly

my mind's online in that course anymore

you've never met a plane you couldn't

land just

let's play

deathly

I can't see like I can't have a bad guy

folks my instincts

your instincts

or one of the few things in this world

that I trust

and if you can't trust that plane you

got to put it in whatever get you down

safe

I'm coming back around

standby

what'd you do

you don't remember

there you are

I thought Jesse didn't drink

he doesn't

your husband's quite The Aviator well he

must feel the same way about you

because you and Carol Mooring are the

only boys from fighting 32 that he has

ever invited over

it's good to know the man you're flying

with

see what they're fighting for

I like that

and what about you Tom

what are you fighting for

God country and honest Act you know Miss

Brown I'm

hoping to find that out

don't be fooled by his strong silent by

the way he trusts you

also he's the funniest me you'll ever

know

I can't say you showed me that side yet

something to look forward to

well you're about to spend a lot of time

together

a lot of time in very small spaces

may I ask you a favor

of course

second he steps on that ship an internet

plane

I can't protect him anymore

so I need you to be there for my Jesse

okay

okay

you might hold the stick better than you

okay

well I know it's our last night here so

I'll let you all enjoy it together

thank you again for the drink you're

very welcome

[Music]

just be careful

worst thing that can happen to me is a

bad sunder

what's your life as long as you come

home

because you're taking me to the Bahamas

when you get back

house

if I get some short time I'll get you

one of those European swimsuits

one of those two-piece things

[Music]

ers

maybe it'd be faster if we did this in

the middle of the night

well you don't seem to understand is

that someday soon this is going to be

real and you have to do a hell of a lot

better than that

yes sir

all right

I'm getting tired of getting ready tired

of living in this floating sardine can

try to use smelling like one so Men

smell like something to look forward to

one day Fritz most excited we've seen in

Days Inn Brown

good to speak to you for a moment

care for what you wish for

I saw

huh

do we have to do this about that oh yeah

it's great having you right in front of

your plane

relax you look great

what's going on Life Magazine is here I

guess the Pentagon wanted something

positive for the folks back home to help

him swallow the pill of another

potential War

better way than black man makes good

does make a nice trophy boy you ought to

be proud skip

shut up bro

the commanding officer called you one of

the best Pilots he's ever seen

regardless of color

that that's kind of him to say but I

can't say I'm special

well it must be hard right

it must be hard being the unable Aviator

absolutely

that implants on carriers it's the

it's the toughest job there is for

everyone wearing wings

come on handsome Brown you know that

Jesse's fine okay Jesse there's a lot of

guys with different backgrounds there's

only one youth there's only one you too

sorry

look I I made no disrespect but

I don't think I'm gonna say with Joe

looking for me to say

all right

I worked hard to find these plants

that's all I've ever wanted to do harder

than I can put in the words Jesse

can we get a few more pictures of Jesse

in this plane oh no I gotta get my

Pilots back to work it'll just take a

minute Lieutenant Lieutenant Commander

have a nice day

damn Jesse you just put a lead in the

middle one a week

that's what I told him so he's trying to

slow him down

hey culture the circus act upon deck

guess not

we should have stood up to that [ __ ]

I'm good Tom

I'm just saying we shouldn't be let him

run his mouth like that

now I know that you're all sick of doing

busy work but oh I got a chore for a

lucky someone not it maintenance is

replacing gyro on one of the corsairs

that need to volunteer to make sure all

is working well it's just a quick up and

down I thought you said lucky it sounds

like a hoot

I'm gonna give it to Fritz they could

use the landing

I'll do it

all right

actually

if you don't mind the tenant

leverage right for once of course I'm

right

I could use a try

all yours

Kyle here morning Mooring it is all

right now as for the rest of you

command has ordered an audit on serial

numbers on Parts across all of the

planes so while Mooring is up there

enjoying the sightseeing the rest of you

can validate all of the serial numbers

on every single one of these maintenance

orders

thank you Matthew

uh sir that'll take all day only if you

work quick

[Music]

[Music]

and some Mooring you are clear to test

the gyro

17th Tower

seems to be in working order copy that

we're trying to carry on

and some more in your approach is

shallow

I'm collecting

manufacture number

p55184

what is it

[Music]

I gotta make the deck he'll make it just

gotta slowly pour in the power on this

approach

better the wave off

try again

[Music]

go around pal

ease it online

give me some altitude

poured on the power to deal fast

foreign

let's be real clear

we lost a friend

and that is not easy

now

the Navy's going to do what the Navy

does

but over at his family

stinks

the guys are getting together

foreign

just because you think you know better

doesn't mean you have to say anything

what are you talking about

Gail hadn't been in the water five

seconds before you were talking about

what he could have done better

we all make mistakes that could have

been me that

don't let that ring convince you

otherwise

what's the one thing they told us about

the Corsair remind me what's the one

thing they told you punch the throttle

mistakes gets killed Jesse

you don't die if you do what you're told

tell us

come on

we're not even at War and we're losing

men

the tough pill to swallow and there's

nothing to blame

the swiftested flight school

they made me do it 10 times

didn't believe that a [ __ ] could swim

he dumped ice in the water

put weights in my flight suit

held me under

they wouldn't cared if I died in that

pool

but every time

I made it out

I used to fly in the bearcat

see everything

the deck on approach

all right in front of me I get landed on

my front yard if I had to

but of course there

I can't see anything

you have to rely on the outside

hard to believe that the lso won't crash

my black ass on purpose

I can't tell you how many times people

have told me to give up quit

die even

that's why you can't always do what

you're told

if I did I wouldn't be here

more

[Music]

most important thing is this we bring

everyone home

brass is worried there may be as many as

one hundred thousand Chinese already in

North Korea ready to take up the fight

at a moment's notice MacArthur ordered

b-29s to take out two Bridges along the

yalu River on the border hoping to slow

the Chinese from sending in any more

troops but they missed so I will lead

the fight in 32 we will take out the any

aircraft in sunuju City tar series you

will fly support for the Panthers until

it is safe for them to come in and bomb

those bridges this is is just a friendly

reminder gentlemen don't shoot or bomb

anything on the Chinese side of the

river unless you want to be personally

responsible for starting another world

war

or flying directly into gunfire I need

everyone Sharp be smart
