[CATCH 22]

Still from "Dive bomber" with a Ryan mocked upView attachment 852870

I remember that"mocked-up" plane: it was "playing" a modern British fighter (don't remember what type exactly). In the documentaries used in the movie one can see at least 3-4 types of camouflage and markings, used by the US-Navy in different periods.

I don't remember the name of the movie, or much else, with this airplane. Ronald Reagan's character piloted this Spitfire from Canada. I forgot why. I saw it on a crappy tv after consuming much Mekong Whiskey in Bangkok many years ago. GreenKnight121 helped me out with info on that movie.

I think I have the movie on a DVD/digitalized copy maybe - I remember watching it 10+ years ago in a relatively good condition. I'll check and see if I have it, what was the reason. Totally forgot about flying the "British plane" from Canada - how could I!

You weren't drunk enough.

 

[CATCH 22]

Not that I remember. But I didn't find any DVD, CD or a file with the movie. Was I only dreaming? Was it a VCR? I know I have same boxes with old DVDs somewhere in the basement, didn't check them all yesterday. I'll search again.

With a shoutout to GreenKnight121 and GrauGeist , the movie is "International Squadron". Check out the thread "The Gipper meets the dreaded Zero".
I'd link it if I knew how.
Correction. I might have seen it in Khon Kaen and not Bangkok.
