I thought this was gonna be about an oil spill.
Hell, that's all that comes up when you type in "Valdez"
Is this a good one? I've never seen it.

I think so. I watch it occasionally. Found it, where else? in a thrift store on what else? VHS LOL. I'm sure you can get it here and there.

Pretty good old western for sure.
But not up there with Lancaster and Douglas in Gunfight at OK Corral, that one is sublime.
Burt's finest...Birdman of Alcatraz. Just my opinion.

I would imagine, with a 70 RR "back then" this was a much easier task than it is today.
I have to admit, I came along a little later. My favorite Lancaster/Douglas movie is "Tough Guys".

I snagged it on Ebay last night in a 3 pack. I like Burt Lancaster so I am sure it will be good.

Oh, man you have NO idea. I was stationed at Miramar then. One day I got up real early on a Sunday morning, like, 6AM. I discovered that even on I-5 N of Miramar towards Del Mar there is no BODY. I used to crank that thing right up. That thing had 3.54 gear and the tires put 70 right at 3K. It would do 140, and was a LOT of fun getting there. Back then, the CHP did not have RADAR.

Yeah, by the time I got to Miramar, I-5 was stupid with traffic at all hours. Course, I didn't have a 70RR, either. All I had was a 5 year old Ford Ranger V6.

When were you there and what did you do? I was there 70-74, maintained GCA RADAR. Our shop is all covered up with concrete, now, way out along the taxiway, our shop used to be off the W end of the bore sight range, if you can find a photo of that. I've not been able to find any online

I didn't spend that much time there. I was an AT, and my ship was making the change over to the F-14D Super Tomcats and they needed a radar tech for them. Miramar had the school for the USM-467 RADCOM test bench, which was used to R&R the AN/APG-71 radar in the plane. I was there from May to August of 97. I was also at North Island from April to August of 95. Never spent more than a few months in San Diego at any one time, but absolutely loved the place!
