Disagree. I liked it a lot. As clarkjohnsen said, less 'Spielbergian' than the vast majority of his other films. Was it on a par with 'Schindlers List'? No. But it was head and shoulders above most of his other 'serious' films such as 'Munich' or even 'Private Ryan'.

And who doesn't like seeing low-level P-51s shot on 35mm film?

Cadillac of the skies.

You mean Lamborghini or Ferrari, right?

  Quote from the movie. Though you probably know that.
  
  Ferrari or Porsche might be my frame of reference. I would never, though, call the P-51 the 'Toyota of the skies'. (-:
