Splash The Zeros, Pt. 1

Part one of a two-part look at one of the best sequences of the movie "The Final Countdown" (© 1980, Polyc International, B.V.), showing two F-14 Tomcat fighter-interceptor jets, launched from the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Nimitz, identifying various contacts, and then engaging two of them (two Japanese Zero fighter planes) after being carried back in time by a strange storm. Awesome footage from an awesome movie (from the era of the cold war between the United States and the former Soviet Union)! Hat's off to the naval aviators who did the top-shelf flying in this movie!
