Sorry for the last minute notice, but I only discovered last night that Turner Classic movies has been running aviation films all month on tues nights in July! I didn't see any references anywhere else on this site to this...so I thought I'd torment someone else...I was up half the night watching movies that I had never heard of! ( too young I guess) Captains of the Clouds was pretty good ( I like Cagney- some of the- in plane- shots were a little cheesy)
At any rate- one more tues night left in the month....and it looks like there might be some good ones..so get out the popcorn and a cold wheat soda ( or set your dvr and repeat that on friday!) TCM.com has a schedule and lots of neat info- including stills and things from the movies that they have been showing....here's a partial schedule for next tues ( july 31)

Missed a few of these. Was able to sit long enough last night to watch Jimmy Stewert in "SAC". I had to chuckle a bit as my kid says "Hey isn't he the voice of the sheriff dog on Fival goes west" Disney movie if some of you don't know it.

Then caught a part of Flying Leathernecks, with the Duke.

Then caught a boat load of "Don't you have something else to do besides watch flying movies?" Yes Dear,

Fly Safe, Bub
