I generally like the idea of the show, but the "dogfights" look like a 1990s video game, so I have a hard time taking it seriously.

That said, it's amazing to learn about that stuff.

Yup - I can watch it for hours - very handy yesterday while the Pack was losing

"Oh Man!! I cannot watch this anymore - flip - 1 B-17 vs 17 Zeroes - this should be interesting!!"

I know I gotta get out more - but it was minus 20 out there last night....

It's an awesome recreation of an actual event that would have been impossible to film in the first place. I think the graphics are crazy good, right down to the flight control movement.

I can only compare a firefight to a dogfight, but the event lives forever, right down to the details. As such, I know these pilots experience the same thing because all the detailed manuvers are created from memory.

My utmost respect for the pilots and the teckies that created the graphics. Awesome!!
