Great movie (The Right Stuff)! I love how the actual Chuck Yeager cameoed as the janitor in the officer's club.

He also did some bartending - had the scene when he walks and says "Ya all want some whisky."

I never knew that Skim Fly, I've got it on DVD so I shall have a look.
I also agree its a brilliant film the use of locust sounds to depict the media swarming all over the place was a master stroke. its my favorite docu-drama space movie I rate it a lot higher than Apollo 13.

I lived in the Antelope Valley (the area around Edwards) for 15 years, a magnificent place for aviation. It looks like a hell hole, but the ugliness of a baron desert is quick eclipsed by the thunder of a jet going overhead. F-15s, 16s, 117s, 22s, B-1s, B-2s, C-130s, C-17s, P-3s, and other neat stuff is seen on a daily basis. Had a good time while I was there and met a lot of neat folks!

Sounds great Fly, my biggest gripe about the UK is no room too breath my home island is 3 X 2 miles and 40,000 live on it and theres only 2 access roads thats one of the reasons I like going abroad for my holidays.

Gosh - I don't blame you, seems very confining!
