This would have been just as appropriate for last week's theme, "Wild" as for this weeks. One of my favorite movies with my all time favorite actor, Robert Redford. Redford's character is an aviator and explorer.
And if that doesn't do it for you, there's always "The Great Waldo Pepper" with one of the great filmed aerial choreagraphies.
How 'bout the real deal?
There's always Snoopy!

Gang: I think I should have "led" with Snoopy!
(I knew it. I always try for too much.:)
The scene from out of africa flying is amazing, one of my favorite scenes and the reason I went to Africa two years ago. I too took a flight over Africa; in a hot air balloon. There are still parts of the world without fences...
Oh the costumes in Out of Africa! Exquisite! Snoopy isn't far behind... -Jayne
Very, very cool picks! Love Snoopy and the Great Waldo Pepper!
SNOOPY!
You know, I have never seen "Out of Afric" or "The Great Waldo Pepper". Have to rectify that, methinks!
Snoopy is a fave! Nice post.
2 great movies...i think Streep won an Oscar for OOA...if she didnt she should have!
VE: just read your post. you sure get to fly alotta cool places even if the flights are hairy.
Jayne: Out of Africa is one of the beautiful films all the way around.
Subby: Thanks. You make me feel better (about thinking I overdid it)
Wings: what can I say? see it!
e: Snoopy is the best.
IT's been a long time since I watched Out of Africa but Redford was a piece of work in his heyday. I remember them filming "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines at Henlow Air Base in the south of England when I was a kid. Great fun watching fake dog fights and old planes.
I love historical figures, especially Snoopy! LOL!
Hah! You had me with Snoopy.
What a fun post. Enjoyed the clips, especially Snoopy. Have a great weekend!
Ahhh, Redford! He still makes my heart go pitty-pat! And Snoopy, well, he's my true secret love!
Thanks for the smiles!
