This could be good!! Seems like they're going with the filming likes of an impressive French film (for the flying aspect), titled Les Chevaliers du Ciel, U.S. title is Sky Fighters.
And like you say monkeyfoot, be carefull!! Those are antiques!!
TMU Pictures will be taking audiences for some high-flying action in their action-adventure film War Birds, says the Hollywood Reporter. Michael Chait wrote the original story and will produce and direct the screenplay written by Josh Staman and Bryan Binder. J. Todd Harris and screenwriter Richard Jefferies (Tron Legacy), who will polish the script, are producing.
Plot Concept: "Birds" follows an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot as he gets pulled into the underground culture of illegal, real-life aerial combat. Shooting is scheduled for the summer in Michigan using all real airplanes and aerial sequences, including authentic P-51 Mustangs, P-38 Lightnings, F4U Corsairs and a B-17 Flying Fortress as well as modern military helicopters and jets.

This sort of sounds like taking the illegal cagefighting shown in movies like Lionheart, Gladiator (the one with Cuba Gooding), and Fighting and applying it to airplanes. Don't know if this actually happens in real life though.
Way to go Michigan filming!. Better be careful with those B-17s. Only a handful of those left.
