During lunch last week my colleague @runwaycontact and I were standing around Changi Business Park waiting for some passport photos to be developed - just part of the significant waiting required for attending Aero India.
We noticed a trailer for the 2012 South Korean movie Soar into the Sun playing outside a video shop. Although I've become used to inaccurate depictions of military equipment - aircraft especially - over the years, this video really takes the cake.
That said, I'd love to see a T-50 - or any jet, for that matter - do a last minute tail stand in the middle of a city, blowing women's skirts all over the place. I've also never seen a jet's afterburners shred an office building's windows. That would be a neat trick at an air show.
And if the fighter action is no enough, the film also appears to offer good dialogue:
Officer 1: Why did you accept such a troublemaker?
Officer 2: Because he's too good.
Hmmm, what 1980s film could have inspired those lines?
