Description

Hear directly from two of the pilots who flew the Harriers you see in the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger / Jamie Lee Curtis hit movie True Lies. Director James Cameron had a clear idea of what he wanted. He took good care of our Marines who were there to support the filming and made sure they were treated well and had time with their families over the holidays.



Buggs and Moto join us to talk about their path into tactical aviation. They relate how they became Marine pilots and their experiences on deployments around the world.



See below for photos from the set and for the 'player' to listen here on the website.
