I *do* remember the 1st film as a pretty good thrill ride wrt  
to the flying scenes, the tragedy, and the comeback.

I just read the wiki plot of the film. Most of the "scenes"  
played back in my head.  No need to see the film again.  ;)

But I hear the 2nd film has vastly improved flying scenes due  
to more clever filming tech, and suspense.

You might like to give it a try and see what story Maverick has  
to tell.
