 Rating:  - A Gathering of EaglesI liked the movie. I was in it when it was filmed at Beale AFB, CA in 1963. I was a Security Policeman on the flight line and we, as well as our aircrews and missle crews were used as background players. SAC, with a little human dramatization, was pretty well portrayed with the ORI (Operational Readiness Inspection) which typically hit about 2 AM as a No Notice inspection by 15th Air Force. When the end of the movie came and they showed a ... Read More Rating: - Just when everything seams to go wrongThe story is of the everyday life of a wing commander and the decisions he must make regardless of wife, friends or extenuating circumstances. Col. Jim Caldwell (Rock Hudson) has a new task of shaping up a strategic air force wing during the 60's that is not up to snuff. Ton top of this he is newly married and his wife (Mary Peach) does not know what she is in for. Can he maintain friendships or at least discipline when he as you would expect must turn ruthless in his endeavor? This ... Read More Rating: - The Day the Magic LeftI love this film, especially because I've been there and done that on ORIs and MSETs. However, as an aircraft maintainer for over 20 years, including 8 as an enlisted man, I used to dread it when TBS The SuperStation would air this movie. All the Lt. Colonels and Colonels on the base would watch it, and for the next month, they were all trying to be Colonel Caldwell. That is, until the "word" on Rock's "orientation" came out. I am not being homophobic, I am just reporting ... Read More Rating: - A Gathering of Eagles is a remake?I'm writing from Argentina. When I saw this films and automatically I remembered the movie Strategic Air Command. The story is very similar. Why? Jimmy appear as a B-36 pilot. In the movie land a DC-3 with a USAF General making a simulated exercise with false prisoners running on the base plataform an in the end of the film, Stewart fly B-47. In A Gathering... is similar to that but start Taylor flying B-47 and finish with B-52. I don't remember the plane used by Rock Hudson ... Read More Rating: - A Banner Portrait of the Strategic Air CommandThis jewel of a motion picture provides an unusually accurate depiction of life on a SAC - Strategic Air Command - base during the 50's, 60's, and 70's. The dreaded ORI - Operational Readiness Inspection - is also quite accurate. Even the most staunch Russian became weak-kneed when it came to the capabilities of this formidable air arm. The casting is superb; the aerial photography and the MITO - Minimum Interval Take-Offs - are truly some of the best Air Force footage taken by the motion picture ...
