Anyone remember this flick? Was really good, with an interesting premise (time travel/rewriting history). Not a bad cast either (and Katherine Ross... )

Great flick, I just wish we could have seen the Tomcats battle the zeroes to prevent Pearl Harbor.

Yep, that was the real bummer of the movie.

Just thinking what that one aircraft carrier could have done in WWII.

Would Maverick and Iceman be in the remake?

I'd rather see Chappy make an appearance.

Just figured it was an aircraft carrier and Maverick and Iceman would fit right in.

I thought it was really good. Though I'm a history buff and like the premise.

Tomcats going against the Zeros was badass.

Today they'd send a squadron of Rockwell B-1 Lancers back in time to decimate the Civil War South.
