Also they didn't charge extra for every little thing. There was even a

Bill,
I have to agree with you. I'm sure a lot of the true flying scenes got
dumped in favor of being able to win over the general public. I also
think the CGI scenes were a little cheesy. I remember a documentary that
was made just to show how the scenes were computer generated. I think a
documentary about how the flying scenes were filmed would have been much
more fascinating. But I guess we do have to realize what society finds
interesting is not really what we find interesting. Maybe us Pieters
don't really fit that well into society, Ha!
That being said I still really did like the movie! As for TGWP, for some
reason every time I watch it I feel a little depressed afterwards, it
really is kind of a dumb movie. But man I sure do like it! Like I said,
us Pieters may not really fit that well into society. But hey, that's
fine with me!

Dark Blue World is excellent!
http://www.sonyclassics.com/darkblueworld/index-withflash.html
O.K. So, this has turned from "I hate that movie and George Peppard
(The A-Team pilot notwithstanding)" to "I love that movie."
So, here is my list of those I thought were pretty cool (in no
particular order):
Dark Blue World
The Flight of Phoenix
The Bridges at Toko Ri
12 o'clock High
The Battle of Britain
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines
The Great Waldo Pepper (yes, I like it)
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo
The Right Stuff
The Dam Busters
Top Gun
One Six Right
Flyboys (thought it was OK)
Strategic Air Command
Always
Memphis Belle
The Blue Max
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Midway (this is really just continuation of T!T!T! ; some of the same
footage)
Some pretty hokey movies that had good flying scenes:
Jet Pilot
Cloud Dancer (great flying, but really bad movie)
Hells Angels
Air America
Forever Young
Pearl Harbor
Flight of the Intruder
Flying Tigers
633 Squadron (this actually wasn't too bad a movie. There is some
great flying scenes, but pretty bad special effects; consider the
era, though)
Really bad movies:
Iron Eagle (all of them)
Slipstream (pretty much as bad as Enemy Mine)
Cloud Dancer (had to put this in this category too; really horrible;
turn the sound down)
<There was another one the I can't remember the name of, but it
pitted a C152 against a Tomahawk [acro no less])
Stuff that I liked from television:
Piece of Cake (6 parts on PBS about the time leading up to the Battle
of Britain; great stuff)
A Perfect Hero (PBS; about Capt. Hugh Fleming; survived a fire in a
Spitfire during the Battle of Britain; makes an actual appearance in
The Battle of Britain movie)
Faster than Sound (Nova)
Daredevils of the Sky (Nova)
Black Sky: The Race for the X-Prize (Discovery)
Black Sky: Winning the X-Prize (Discovery)
Wings of Madness (PBS: about Alberto Santos Dumont)
I am sure that there are lots of others (there's a whole set of
movies based on Ernie Gann books [Fate is the Hunter, etc.], but
stock up on the popcorn. These ought to keep you going through winter
when it's too cold to build or maintain.

To me one of the funniest airplane movies scenes was during the opening of
Airplane when you hear
radials of an old DC-6 but then see a Boeing 707 airliner emerge from the c
louds. (with the theme song from
Jaw's playing in the background) My pilot friend and I were the only ones
in the entire theater laughing.
"so Johnny, have you ever been to a Turkish spa ?" Lloyd Bridges....'p
icked a bad week to stop sniffing glue'.
I agree with Don Emch regarding how TGWP can be depressing. If watching a
t home I only watch the first
2/3rds and then pull the plug on it. That scene with Frank Tallman flyin
g down Main Street with only five or six
feet to spare on his wingtips from the storefronts. Stellar flying.

Here is a simple slip/skid I made for my project. It's a ball-bearing in a

Haven't seen Dark Blue World, the remake of Flight of the Phoenix, One
Six Right, Flyboys, or Always (that title sounds like a remake of A Guy
Named Joe.) I'll have to look for them.
Thanks for mentioning Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. I
haven't seen it in at least three months. (Where's my DVD? It's gotta be
here somewhere.) Always a joy!
As for "some of the same footage," how many movies have used that film
of the guy blowing his carrier landing and skidding into the island?

Only one from this list I remember well enough to comment on. Loved it

Speaking of interesting instruments, N8031 has an altimeter I've never
seen before. Here's a picture of it (click on the image for high
resolution version):
http://5n429glenoak.homelinux.net/gallery/N8031/img_2521
It doesn't have the typical window that displays the barometric
pressure, but it does have a little tiny triangle that runs around on
the outside edge of the graduations (it's right about the word "of feet"
sitting at the 45' altitude mark).
I've verified that this triangle moves around the perimeter based on
differing barometric pressure, but I'll be darned if it makes any sense.
Does anyone know how this works?
Thanks,
Dan

Look at the photo again... there is another triangle (pointer) on the inside ring
(just to the right of zero). Also, on the inside of the altitude markings
(0, 5, 10, 15) there are other markings that read 20, 25, 30, 35 respectively.
Those might have something to do with the barometric pressure, right? I mean,
they are in the right range... perhaps the outer is an incremental measurement?
What a cool instrument.

Mark,
I like your theory...it looks like it would make sense. One thing
though....the altimeter is reading approximately 945 ft, let's say. Olson's
elevation is listed at 955, so that should be about right. This would make
the barometric pressure, according to the inside ring, approximately 20".
That's reeeeeally low. I think the lowest ever recorded was somewhere around
25".
At least that is how that would appear to read to me. I could be completely
wrong. I don't know how the pressure works on that kind either. :P

> Just where does one find one ball bearing?
Gary,
All items, except the baby oil were obtained from ACE Aeromotive (ACE Hardware).
The ball bearing was in the section of fasteners where there are rows of drawers
with screws, bolts, springs and such. Get the plastic tube first and then pick
a bearing size that fits well and a couple of short bolts that lightly thread
into the ends. A small piece of brass is all thats needed but if you cant
find any, look for a door kick-plate itll give your shop a supply of brass for
many projects.

I don't have the real answer you're looking for, but I'm pretty darn
sure that the 20, 25, 30, 35 markings are for thousands of feet, after
the indicator has made a full revolution (20,000 ft per revolution). The
0, 5, 10, 15 are for the first revolution, and 20, 25, 30, 35 are for
the second revolution. Not likely to be very relevant for a Piet.
It may be that this altimeter is the old style where you don't need t
know the barometric pressure, just the elevation you're at. Turn the
adjustment knob until the altimeter reads the correct altitude and
you're ready to go. But that doesn't explain what the little triangle
markings are for.

Possibly a Kollsman Altimeter built for the US Army, prior to the
implementation of the Kollsman window. Possibly assembled by Square D
Company.

Interesting Altimeter [was: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: skid ball]
Speaking of interesting instruments, N8031 has an altimeter I've never
seen before. Here's a picture of it (click on the image for high
resolution version):
http://5n429glenoak.homelinux.net/gallery/N8031/img_2521
It doesn't have the typical window that displays the barometric
pressure, but it does have a little tiny triangle that runs around on
the outside edge of the graduations (it's right about the word "of feet"
sitting at the 45' altitude mark).
I've verified that this triangle moves around the perimeter based on
differing barometric pressure, but I'll be darned if it makes any sense.
Does anyone know how this works?
Thanks,
Dan

I bought one from e-bay a few years ago that I'm not using. Back then
they were running around $200 used. Recently I've seen them for less.
You can get a new one from Fresno Airparts for $495 last time I looked..

Thanks Terry for the great flying movie list! The one I forgot to put on
my list, even though it's a bit corny by today's standards is "Wings".
Made in 1927, it is a silent film and won the first Academy Award for
Best Picture. Clara Bow, the "It Girl", Richard Arlen and Buddy Rogers.
Lots of real World War I airplanes flying with a real Fokker D.VII crash.
I've got it on tape but haven't seen it come up on DVD on Netflix. Maybe
if we all start asking they will get it.

I just finished all 5 videos, and I loved what I was able to glean from the
talk. I am 6'4" and 245 lbs (or as my flight instructor would say when doing
weight and balance figures "Yeah, but what do you weigh with all your
clothes ON!"... OK 255 lbs all up weight...) and have been concerned with
the 'unknown' of the 612. It almost sounds like if you want an even better
lifting wing, Lowell suggests the 613.5.
Decisions Decisions...
Thanks again Jeff!
