It was written by Pat Conroy. It was made into a movie. But I am referring to the book. Anyone read it? This is helicopter related because he could have made a great helicopter pilot.

I was a Marine student pilot in Pensacola in 1968. The commanding officer of the Marine training unit was Colonel Don Conroy, the Great Santini. He was a big guy who flew F-8 Crusaders.

their were no operational F-8's or enough stock footage of F-8's when they made the movie. 

The movie business before CGI!

Because actor Robert Duval wasn't rated in the F-8, but he was in the F-4.   True....read it on the internet...
