WWII Thunder Birds movie

Mon Jun 29, 2009 9:16 am

was just on the Fox Movie channel and will be repeated on Thursday, July 16, 10:00 am ET.
If you have not seen this movie, it was shot during WWII at what is now Mesa's Falcon Field, and other training fields in the Phoenix area. If you look you can see the hangars that used to house the Champlin Fighter Museum.

I'd love to watch it, but locally, KOMMIEKAST has made FMC a part of another higher priced package so they don't get my patronage-

I just finished watching the movie, the first time I have seen it in many years. It was great see Falcon Field how it was, Red mountain was in many shots, as were alot of landmarks in the Phoenix area. The writers even paid attention to what was around here at the time, with the mention of the Biltmore resort, and the Westward Ho Hotel, and both of them are still around.
