"Red Tails" = Great Movie!

Good portrayal of some very humble heroes...

I can't even begin to thank these heroes enough!

What is it about?

Red Tails is about the Tuskegee Airmen, the first all-black American fighter squadron during World War II.  It has some of the usual Hollywood misrepresentations but the computer graphics of the in-flight scenes are stunning (if as noted sometime unrealistic).
E-P2 w 14-42mkII lens, OM, PenFT, MMF-2 adapters
E-1, E-620 w 14-54MkI, 50mm, 50-200mmMkI, OM adapters
OM-1md, OM-4, many OM mount lenses including Vivitar Series 1 90-180 flat field macro

Lucas had some input from some real Tuskegee Airmen & from what I've seen (on the web) they appear to be generally satisfied (although some inaccuracies were pointed out)...

That being said,
An old neighbor of mine was a Tuskegee Airman - so this movie hits just that little bit more closer to home for me......

I gotta make time to see this. A lot of scenes were shot with a 5D mk 2!!!
More megapixels don't necessarily mean more resolution...
