Post by: Smoothice on April 16, 2010, 04:02:24 PM
I just watched a movie the other night...there was a cool quote...

"I am removing you from your duty as the liason with the Civil Air Patrol...."

Can anyone guess which movie it was from??

Cool to hear "Civil Air Patrol" mentioned in a movie  :clap:

Air Force is training apes of various types in simulaters to fly nuclear missions. One ape is transferred to the Base (Eglin?) from a university project where he had learned to communicate by sign language at the same time Broderick is assigned to the lab. Broderick finds out that eventually all the apes die because they are subjected to a blast of radiation at the end of their last simulation. He frees them and they (the apes) steal an AF Bronco and fly off to the Everglades where they establish an ape colony.
