Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Flight of the Intruder

One of my favorite movies. The A6 is my most favorite combat aircraft. Love the scenes of that archaic instrumentation in the instrument panel.

Presently available on Prime.

Yeah, sure, I know the book, and the movie have a slim grasp on reality. But still I like it a lot.

Favorite line from any movie ever: Willem Dafoe, "Come on Sandy. I'd do it for you."

That was a great book, I’ll have to check out the movie. Thanks for the heads up.

Was this the story featuring a main character popularly known as "Magnet Ass?" Read a ton of those books back in the 80s.

It is a 1991 movie based on Stephen Coonts's book of the same name published in 1986. Coonts was a bomber pilot previously.

There are apparently 9 or 10 books in the Jake Grafton series.

My dad has watched that about 672 times. Plus or minus I might be off 10-/+

It is a good movie, no doubt.

But I knew kids that watched Barney and Friends purple fuzzy dinosaur less number of times.

I asked him if he was retarded. I seems excessive.

Just me stopping by I’ve watched it a couple times in the back ground. Dude is ready for jello.

I won't volunteer for the Jello yet.

I think this evening was my third viewing in 30 years.

I went to College with a guy who bragged he had seen "Star Wars" thirteen times during the time it was playing in our local theaters at initial release.

We can be driving somewhere and him ask me “hey you ever watch that flight of the intruder? “
Oh my foucking Gawd…i just say yeah with you… a lot and dont want to hear a story about it, the end

Then he shifts to CSI miami, new orleans, denver, buffalo, newark, blah blah blah

The Marlboro Man was Jake Grafton.

What about "The Great Santini"?

Up and at ‘em, Hogs!

Pretty sure there is a Campfire member the flew some version of the plane.
I'm thinking it was the Prowler.

Human Dobermans, referring to the Marine guards.😆

I believe there are at least two former A-6 pilots here. Jorge and Pugs

It’s a very entertaining movie, with a great cast. The mad chitter switching to the mad pisser was funny as hell considering I was stationed on an amphibious assault ship at the time.

Friend Brad Johnson starred as Jake Grafton. RIP, gone too soon.

I have over 1,000 hours in that wonderful aircraft. Knew 2 guys in the squadron that filmed scenes for that movie all around Hawaii.

I always enjoyed my conversations with Brad, when he came into the Gun Library.

IIRC, Jorge flew the Lockheed S-3 Viking.

Pugs was an A-6 guy.
