I'd recommend the film Apache then.
Like Top Gun, but not as cool, and with Helicopters. 80's cheese
Do you mean Wings of the Apache starring Tommy Lee Jones and Nicolas Cage? That film is epic.
"Oooops, you blewww it..."
Oh and it was 1990 I think, so not 80s cheese

When I first saw that I was like WTF! Since when do helicopters do 'loop the loops' but it turns out some skilled Apache pilots can actually do it! Very impressive to say the least.

They do all the testing down in Sailsbury, so if they were headed to Portsmouth thats probally where they were off!
Ive seen a fair few when ive been heading towards Portsmouth in the early hours just skimming the tree lines at fuck off speeds!
