MIDWAY







Last night Gary and I watched the last part of the old movie "MIDWAY" we have watched this movie many times. We've watched all/most of the World War II movies many times. Gary likes to see -the real footage that has been added to the movies. But it is real hard on him because he sees so many flaws. Example--- Charlton Heston ( Gary's hero because of his views on gun ownership) flies off of the carrier in a TMB-Avenger, then they show him in flying formation in a F6F-Hellcat, then there is a close of him in a SBD-Douglas Dauntless, then he crash lands on the carrier in a Helldiver.
PS - did I mention Gary restores World War II airplanes. This is Gary's brother Bryan and Todd they both work with Gary. They are rebuilding a P-38 for a museum. If you ever have any questions about Warbirds, Gary is your man.

Far Guy calls this inconsistancy in Aircraft.. a comedy..obviously the Technical consultants had no idea what they were doing. When it gets so unrealistic for the era, or the planes keep changing..he stops wtching. :(
