Classic Aviation Movies

• Top Gun – With the sequel ‘Top Gun Maverick’ being released in the fall, now is the perfect time to re-watch the original!
• The Aviator – The Aviator is the story of aviation legend, Howard Hughes. It chronicles his successes and his eventual deterioration into madness and isolation.
• Flight – This aviation drama is about a pilot who makes a miraculous landing. The investigation that follows only leads to more questions and the pilot’s life is exposed to the public.
• Hot Shots! – A hilarious parody of fighter pilot movies, Hot Shots! is definitely the film to turn to if you’re in search of some comic relief.
• Sully – The depiction of the events that occurred on January 15th, 2009, Sully is about the heroic actions of Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. After striking a bird, and with no time to divert to an airport, Sully miraculously made an emergency landing on the waters of the Hudson River.
