Last Holiday with Queen Latifah in 2006 was better than the 1950 version.

In my opinion

If I'm right (because I'm about to leave work, my laptap is isolated at home, and I won't be back on line till midnight), name three movies where they walked out to steal the aircraft with their visors down.
Just saw Sunshine and liked it a lot.

You're up.

Actually, I preferred "Solar Crisis", think I rewatched just 2-3 months ago, as a better as in more watchable movie...........but that's what makes horse races.

The question, as noted before, is:

name three movies where they walked out to steal the aircraft with their visors down.

Okay, big hint.

Aircraft doesn't only mean fixed wing.

Well, since I'm less than hour from breaking for the holidays in less than an hour, I guess I'll give the answers and leave it open.

Airwolf Full Episode (Shadow of the Hawke, Part 2) - IMDb
(at 17:35)
It's from the pilot movie for Airwolf, so it is in the movie category.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA2w...tailpage#t=193
(at 3:17 if it doesn't start there)

And the honorable mention?

That was "Not with My Wife You Don't" where Tony and his accomplice steal a HS 125 variant (http://aviation-safety.net/photos/ai...-P-d-1-500.jpg ).......................

...............................gaining access to the aircraft wearing sheik robes and dark glasses (I think, been a while since I've seen the scene).

OPEN QUESTION

I knew one was a Bond film, but the cobwebs got in the way.

How about 3 films with an angry man eating bear?

I was also thinking Blue Thunder on the aircraft question but don't remember Roy Scheider wearing a visor.

As far as man eating bears, I'd go with

Prophecy
Quest for Fire
and, morbidly, Grizzly Man.
