Pilots Quotes in Flight of the Intruder (1991)

[before leading the daylight raid to North Vietnam]

Cdr. Camparelli: This is a daylight raid, gentlemen. Air Force, Marines, Navy, everything we got. They've had three years to get ready for us. The most formidable air defenses in the history of warfare. Our job, the task of the Intruder, is to kill SAMs. Make no mistake about it, gentlemen, SAMs are where your ordnance goes. Otherwise, those B-52's will be dead meat. We can expect a forest of SAMs and flak you can lay down on. We've got to cut a path through for the Air Force. We'll be going in broad daylight with nothing to hide behind. We'll be easy targets up there, gentlemen, but they're counting on us. Lean into it. Let's go downtown!

Pilots: [all cheer]

Razor: [meeting the squadron for the first time] I'm Lieutenant j.g. Jack Barlow.

Pilots: Sit down, asshole!
