Rew's "Silver Screen Dogfights"

The best movies of war planes, helicopters, dogfights, and just great flying. Contains both feature films and documentaries.

(I snuck an anime series in there too. I don’t care if you are not a fan of anime, if you like fighting aircraft the "Macross Plus" series is fabulous.)
