Well I dont have too much personal experince in real life, as far as seeing aircrafts or flying them and stuff so I am stuck to virtual reality as games, books and pictures, however the air war part of Sum of All Feras from Tom Clancy was pretty cool. You actually see the mig fighters using afterburners while they are taking off, and B2's taking off one by one from the landing strip waiting orders from the president to drop nuclearwrheads. I though it was pretty cool. You dont get to see that in most movies. They are more like ok we go some of these shots from USAF now its time to put or pilot/actor in a fake plastic cockpit with an old Amiga Joystick and a cheap ass non snell aproved helmet, bending his body left and right in order to give audience full fly expericene during the movie.
