I picked up a (not cheap) copy of this film and I'm glad I did: it's very good and I'll watch it again several times. The aircraft porn is great, as is the SAC dark blue nylon flyers jackets porn. The only downside might be in a few places they whip out a shameless promotional message for the USAF, but hey without the USAF this film would have been impossible to make. Only one scene, about 3 or 4 seconds long, uses a model plane; everything else is filmed in real life with real planes on real airbases and in the air. In our modern days of CGI, this sort of real-world-ism is a joy to watch. Useless trivia: Stewart wears an N3B, while his crew all wear N2B jackets, plus the insulated overalls.A few B&W and color shots from one of my favorite movies, "Strategic Air Command," with Jimmy Stewart.
