I didn't see the whole scene, but it was a TV program that usually previews an upcoming (or just released) movies. In the trailer I saw some African-American pilots in WW2, flying P-51s and fighting against German fighters. No doubt it was a movie about the famous Tuskegee Airmen. So, I searched the internet, but the only thing I got was a movie from 1995.
I maybe wrong and it turns out they're actually REviewing the movie, anyway. But, in case I'm not, do you guys know about any new Tuskegee Airmen movies?

One coming out called 'Red Tails', I think there was a thread a while back about it.

Should be able to find the trailer with that name.

Cheers!

Ah, so it's called "Red Tails"? Yes, I've re-searched it with that name, and found a web with synopsis and some screenies. Looks good. I hope the story is more historical than romance. I always admired Tuskegee Airmen. Would love to see it once it's released here. Thanks, Mojo thumbsup

Fascinating video but I disagree with Lucas's main point of contention but I'm afraid that would be PWEC material!
