Thank God for Mel Gibson to rescue Hollywood from itself!!!
With Gibson involved; Couldn’t wait for the show to hit the screen in Houston so I could take My kids and show them a reasonable representational response to their: “What did you do in the war, Daddy?” – (I was an H-34 Driver, out of Udorn ’66 – ’68)… Despite Gibson’s standard magnificent acting, the writing was a bummer compared to the REAL calibers of wit & humor that took place. It’s a damn shame the writer didn’t have tapes of the up-country aircraft comm traffic to draw from; you’d be waking-up in the middle of the night, laughing at the one-liners. In 28-years and 13,000+ flight-hours in 7-Nations on 5-Continents; that was the greatest bunch of maniacs I ever had the honor of working with.
Some pilots are willing to work anywhere to “slip the surly bonds of earth” …
This film rendition of Christopher Robbin’s “Air America”, the story of CIA’s secret airforce in Laos during the Vietnam War has been fluffed up a tad too much. I would have hoped they would have kept the tone of the book which was a bit edgier; more like the film version of MASH. This version makes the “non-war” in Laos seem like a Disney World Ride. However Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr make it worth the price of admission. After you watch the flick track down the book for the REAL story.
