Yeah, he was a pretty good actor, was in tons of stuff leading up to Roscoe P. Coltrane. Totally agree that the Charger and the Daisy Dukes cutoffs were the real stars.

I believe that was James Best, who played Burt Reynolds's best friend in a little movie he made called Hooper.
If you've never seen it, watch it. It's in the style of Smokey & The Bandit, but a completely different movie.
Very enjoyable. One of my favourites.

Hooper (1978) ⭐ 6.4 | Action, Comedy

1h 39m | PG

Correctamundo, yep, that's him, another movie with a Trans Am going like hell, I remember seeing it in the theater with the redhead I was dating at the time who, coincidentally drove a brown 1978 Trans Am.
 
The Lost Missile (1958) starring a Robert Loggia (Feetch La Mana from Soprano's for you younger folks)

A rather schlocky flick with a thin plot but...

I think they had footage of every fighter and bomber in the USAF inventory along with Sabres and Hunters and maybe even Meteors from the RCAF. I mean, there is LOTS of airplane footage, a lot of it quick shots but much of it long enough to enjoy the planes. Just off the top of my head:

FIGHTERS
F-80
F-84
F-86 + RCAF F-86
F-89
F-94
F-100
F-101
F-102
Hawker Hunter
Gloster Meteor (I think)

BOMBERS
B-36
B-47
B-52

I may have missed some though. However there's several shots of F-86D's cutting loose with all the rockets in the tray, the F-94 firing nose rockets and the Scorpion emptying both wing pods, lot's of great shots for that.

The plot is rather dumb but I highly recommend it for us plane geeks.

Joline and I watched another episode of "Country Music", a documentary by Ken Burns. It is an excellent series, covering the whole spectrum of American music development. Last night was the chapter that covered the plane crash that killed Patsy Klein, Hawkshaw Hawkins, and others. I did not know that Hawkins fought in Bastogne and earned four battle stars.
