ahhh..the 80's!..a time like no other! evrything was the bomb back then..the movies actually had good plots and you wanted to see the movies over and over again..miss those days!
Absolutely. I lost count on how many times I went to see this movie. Feeling a bit down.....go watch Ironeagle. I remember coming out the cinema and riding my bike back home. Felt like being a fighter pilot right there with imagination and dreams riding wild!!!
Art Scholl...I love the hammerhead stall that he does...Camera placement was almost perfect...made it look like he slid right up the face of the cliff, stalled over, kicked the rudder over, and right back down the face. A Master Pilot...Rest in Peace
Gotta give some props to Mike Runyard who's the stunt double for Knotcher. He was a factory racer for Can Am and Suzuki back in the 70's. He also did stuntwork in James Bond A View To A Kill, Iron Man I & II, Ant-Man... Dude 's the real deal.
Everytime I watch this , keep wanting to say " Come on Art , pick up the flaps , drop the nose , and pass him already... ! " RIP Art Schol , awesome pilot , nice too , got his autograph at an airshow long time ago . That hammerhead turn he does against the rocks = amazing !
drop the nose lol he was like 10 feet of the ground. That landing tho was pretty good making it look bad was the trick the wing tip a couple feet off the ground always got me
These movies made us get our pilot licences! Pretty awesome scene...those legendary general aviation planes chasing the mighty Honda XR with the famous and solid RFVC engine...👍👍👍👍
Because of this movie, commercial aircrews have been supplied with cassette players with this music score. SOP is to use this music to enhance pilot performance during critical phases of the flight. Also heard flight schools are using it too. Pilots graduate 26% quicker when listening to this song over the headsets while doing their mountain training.
The thing that scares me the most is how close his wing tip gets to the ground when he is "landing" after the race. RIP Art, we have movies like this where we can truly appreciate your talent.
In the movies our heroes always pull it off. In the real world of aviation, well, "there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots." Nuff' said.
This movie was what got me loving to listen to music while working. I swear listening to any kind of music makes the time go by faster or at least gets me working faster the entire time by the time I look at the clock I have basically finished the job and only 15 minutes has passed.
Great Movie! Seen it at least 30 times and never get tired of watching it! I think Jason Gerick was a better actor when he was that age than he is now! Yes I agree that this a much better and exciting film to watch than top gun, and I loved it too!
I was once down to 10% oil pressure in my R22. I then put in the cassette tape of this song and was able to not only keep my engine from ceasing but fly 15 miles without loss of aircraft!!
@@angelvalle9963 "The music was jamming D" of course I won. I had 40 deg of flaps and crabbed the aircraft for max drag just like the movie ..... but some how still won regardless how slow I made the Cessna!!!
Neuri, "Jimmy Branson" was a friend of Doug's, Reggie's and Tony's who died flying "The Snake" with Knotcher. He was running a lean mixture (remember when Doug asked Chappy, "What are you doing making my mixture so rich?"), stalled, and couldn't pull out. Chappy: As _lean as you were running_, if you went into a stall you would've _lost your engine_, and _never_ would've been able to pull it out! Doug: That must've been what happened to Jimmy! Chappy: That's what happened to the Branson kid, all right. He didn't know that, either. And, they sure couldn't tell him after they peeled him off that _cliff!_ (Yes, I know this movie a _little too well!_ :D
I can happily say i have flown in each of the 3 aircraft seen here. My father was a private pilot and between him and his pilot buddies all 3 of these airplanes were available to me as a kid to ride in to our dawn patrol breakfasts. My dad owned an Aeronca Champion 7EC, His buddy Terry had a black and white Cennsa 150, and his other buddy Pete owned the Tomahawk.
i have to give it up to both the movie and Arthur Everett Scholl (r.i.p.) when i first saw iron eagle i knew i was born to fly!! it was such a great inspiration for me
This movie was a total childhood inspiration for me. Once I got old enough to ride dirt bikes and fly single engine airplanes, I realised the harsh reality of the world, and that is I would never be this cool.
Art Scholl R.I.P. 1931-1985. Pilot of N9828J - 1975 Cessna 150 Aerobat. Great movie stunt pilot. My first plane to train in was a 1969 150 Aerobat and later got my license in a 150. Art Scholl is forever missed at air shows and in movies!!!
Thank you! And yes, like i have said multiple times. I DON"T think you even know BASIC aerodynamics, but now that I have given you all of the answers all you have to do is look at all of my previous posts. But I have to say, once you fly in an A-10 you will definitely reconsider your choice of best single seater. Every time you fire just a small burst from that 30mm cannon on the nose the entire plane slows down. It's like hitting the brakes in a car and letting right back off. And the entire
A loose cap would not spill all of the oil out of the engine. The oil sump is not pressurized. Pilots inadvertently leave the oil sticks loose on Lycomings and Continentals all the time...you will get a little bit of oil out but not much. Ask me how I know. :-) Smoke systems pump oil directly into the hot exhaust pipes to produce smoke...they don't put oil into the combustion chamber. I have a smoke system that I installed on my homebuilt RV-7A.
This is still one of my favourite movies of all time. Before Top Gun this movie just made me love flying. The Falcon is still one of .y favourite fighter combat aircraft. I still say the Teen fighters were the very best. This flight scene I just loved and was in my head when I went up in Cessna 150 early on in my PPL training. It still is the best flight scene ever made non military that is.
All the best to Art Scholl, the awesome stunt pilot in the Cessna. Died in a horrible crash later on. We all could learn a bit about stunt flying from Art. Coincidentally enough, Art (a pilot also) is my father's name.
I don't think I'll ever be old enough to rock and roll this hard. if anyone knows of any, and I mean ANY, song more awesome than this one, please speak up now.
Sorry I'm late ;) One that came to mind is Dare by Stan Bush from another 80's movie I loved: "Transformers". But I agree, I looked for years to find this song because it's so good! Also, another classic from this same soundtrack is Gimme Some Lovin' by Spencer Davis Group. Can't say they're "more awesome" because obviously taste is subjective and there's so much music, but I think they're equally awesome ;)
@cff121 AOA is the angle between the mean chord line of the wing and the relative wind. The angle between the relative wind and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is the sum of the AOA and the angle of incidence of the wing. Difference in AOA between normal level cruise and level slow flight depends on the airfoil, power, and the flap position, which changes the chord line of the airfoil.
Love the part with Doug's friends when Knotcher nearly becomes road-kill: Reggie: What's up with the Knotchhead? T: Well he almost started a new career: as a hood ornament! Reggie: HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Nothing screams the 80s more than this sequence.
Seriously, this is cinematic history being laid down to the tightest groove ever.
This is the greatest non-military based airplane scene in film ever!
Agreed 👍
agree
Growing up in the 80’s & 90’s rocked!! Love this movie.. was a great movie for kids & teens. Still a great movie today.
ahhh..the 80's!..a time like no other! evrything was the bomb back then..the movies actually had good plots and you wanted to see the movies over and over again..miss those days!

He also was one of the pilots for "Top Gun" at the same year, where he had this accident and died.
A true legendary aviator. Rip
Make America Iron Eagle Again
Gotta give some props to Mike Runyard who's the stunt double for Knotcher. He was a factory racer for Can Am and Suzuki back in the 70's. He also did stuntwork in James Bond A View To A Kill, Iron Man I & II, Ant-Man... Dude 's the real deal.
He was riding the hell out of that bike.
and it was still so slow that full flaps were needed even with a hand full of throttle@@angelvalle6515
Everytime I watch this , keep wanting to say " Come on Art , pick up the flaps , drop the nose , and pass him already... ! " RIP Art Schol , awesome pilot , nice too , got his autograph at an airshow long time ago . That hammerhead turn he does against the rocks = amazing !
drop the nose lol he was like 10 feet of the ground. That landing tho was pretty good making it look bad was the trick the wing tip a couple feet off the ground always got me
He was also crabbing.
Such a great soundtrack! I miss the 80's. Best music, with no disrespect to prior decades.
Great great music. This movie rocks, despite the lower-budget.
(MYLSB)
Here's a lil' hint from an old fox,
the song is named-
"Old Enough to Rock and Roll"
by "Rainey Haynes"
These movies made us get our pilot licences!
Pretty awesome scene...those legendary general aviation planes chasing the mighty Honda XR with the famous and solid RFVC engine...👍👍👍👍
best sequence of a Cessna, in a movie ever!
Longtime comment but a closefriend of mine became a fighterpilo from this heh
Still love this scene and this song to this day. Keep jammin’ to the tunes cuz you’re zooming! 😂

Also heard flight schools are using it too. Pilots graduate 26% quicker when listening to this song over the headsets while doing their mountain training.
I did notice the flaps, even years back haha. every time I watch this scene I think about them.
This scene always made me thought the flying was insane. Then I started learning how to fly the Cessna and now I'm just at a loss for words.
The thing that scares me the most is how close his wing tip gets to the ground when he is "landing" after the race. RIP Art, we have movies like this where we can truly appreciate your talent.
I always considered this the best scene of the movie.. I'm sure not to be the unique...
Thanks a lot Rainey!! ♥
In the movies our heroes always pull it off. In the real world of aviation, well, "there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots."
Nuff' said.
these movies will never be done again..classics
one of the best scenes ever, they really couldn't of done it any better.
if only they made great fun movies like this these days
Nope!!!!! Hollywoke won't do this nowadays.
This movie was what got me loving to listen to music while working. I swear listening to any kind of music makes the time go by faster or at least gets me working faster the entire time by the time I look at the clock I have basically finished the job and only 15 minutes has passed.
Loved this movie when I was a kid in the late 80s. Made me wanna be a fighter pilot when I grew up!
Did you manage to become a fighter pilot ?
@@Konleb No, grades weren't good enough in school to be in the Air Force.
@@brianbaswell5895 holy @#$@ how did you graduate??
Some of the best piloting I have ever seen in a cessna 150. Both machines were beast.
the best 80s movie ever "huh, i can't hear ya" *punch to face* "can you hear me now ?!" haha
Oh god... I used to love this movie when I was a kid. Feel so ashamed now
Great Movie! Seen it at least 30 times and never get tired of watching it! I think Jason Gerick was a better actor when he was that age than he is now! Yes I agree that this a much better and exciting film to watch than top gun, and I loved it too!

@@72launchpad lol
The greatest verizon commercial there never was!
A classic one... Can't wait this movie to be launched on DVD!
Brilliant segment.
How can you not want to fly that cute Cessna after seeing this.
my favorite part of this video is at 3:59 when the cessna just rips onto the screen and meets the bike, sends a shiver up my spine every time hahah

I remember when I was a kid and my friends and I would fly our planes around the canyon...you know like kids do.
this is one o my fav movies
childhood movie ever since today
I love Doug's voice!
i have to give it up to both the movie and Arthur Everett Scholl (r.i.p.) when i first saw iron eagle i knew i was born to fly!! it was such a great inspiration for me
So shocked when this song was not on the album!
Knotchers dirtbike is BadAss !!! Cool ass movie with awesome soundtrack !!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
This movie was a total childhood inspiration for me. Once I got old enough to ride dirt bikes and fly single engine airplanes, I realised the harsh reality of the world, and that is I would never be this cool.
I destroyed so many toy planes recreating this exact scene...
I did it with the real thing ;) Dat tomahawk didn't know what hit it.... and i lost 250ft haha
Iron Eagle is still a great film and it has a great sound track to
I can't hold myself from making another post just to say that THIS CLIP IS AWESOME!
god... i was a teenager in the 80s and for the most part... I have to agree. ALthough there were some kickass movies in the 80s.
I watched this at the theater.
Classic...
This was great in the theatre.
Art Scholl R.I.P. 1931-1985. Pilot of N9828J - 1975 Cessna 150 Aerobat. Great movie stunt pilot. My first plane to train in was a 1969 150 Aerobat and later got my license in a 150. Art Scholl is forever missed at air shows and in movies!!!

Doug: "Can you Hear me now?" The Original Verizon Cell Phone Guy!!!!
Best movie ever
I have to say this movie had an awesome soundtrack

The song makes this sequence that much better
Will always be a good movie.
thanks for posting this! I love this movie
Why we no have no more movies like this
always luv jamming to tunes
Such a great movie.
Love this movie!
one of the best song in the 80's......but nobody knows this.....#
I know it’s cheesy but I’ve always loved this movie
Classic scene from the archetypical 1980s film: The "drag race" scene...pretty cool.
Thanks for sharing!
0:05 the good old times to listen before iPod...i miss cassettes..

Can you hear me now?

When I first saw this movie (age 11) I was like " Damn, I wanna go fly a jet and Get Some !!!! "
Rainey rocks; she personally autographs her CD's! Furthermore, doctors should prescribe this song instead of Prozac!
Oh Yes :) Still have the CD from her, bought some Years ago as they found the old Mastertapes :D
very cool movie....
YEHAW! I got my 2 Singles today. This Song is so damned good! Love it.
I dig the music...
I love this scene with the Cessna aerobat A150M it reminds me of some good times....
good song
fantastic, nice song
Dam that pilot behind that cessna is good...This movie and "Top Gun" rock!!!!!
They made him look like a student pilot trying to land.
The best ever scene is the Beech 18 in “It’s a Mad Mad Mad World”
Love this old Honda RFVC 350 XR.
Knotcher is the man.
I own a Tomahawk with almost exactly the same colours as this one. What a scene!
Art Schol......what a sick pilot...so much skill and balls
Awesome!!
this makes flying a 152 seem soo much cooler than it is
great show lots of action enjoyed

Notice that when Doug clears Devil's Face, even Knotcher's friend is impressed.
nice music
Art Scholl the Cessna pilot had balls of steel!!!!!
SUUUCH A FEEL GOOD TUNE!!! Feel like doing a million miles an hour lol!!
Way to fly Doug.
Great man!! Thanks for it...
