[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3473408, member: 44288"] I just watched an interview with "Shoes". He is one of the two Tomcat pilots that flew against the Japanese Zeros in The Final Countdown. He described the action sequences were really hard to film because the director said the Zeros look best with their canopies open and the Tomcats look best with their wings pinned back. With the photography being done in a helo at hover, the Zeros at 90 knots and the Tomcats at 300 knots. He said the Tomcats were "falling out of the sky" because they had swept wings at a slow speed. Shoes was the Tomcat that gunned the Zero. He said he watched the other pilot almost hit the water. Shoes was right above him. He also said Cathryn Ross hated the Tomcat pilots because they were so loud when buzzing the yacht she was on. They did it eight times. [MEDIA=youtube]YLreti98BLw[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
