Punjab, Jan. 24 -- Fighter, the first joint project from Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan, will be released globally on Thursday, one day ahead of Republic Day. Fighter, which is about an elite Indian Air Force (IAF) unit called the Air Dragons, is directed by Siddharth Anand, who also directed Shah Rukh Khan's hit movie Pathaan last year.

It is not the only one, though, that has pilots with rigorous training regimes and aircraft to fly. These movies, which include some from the Top Gun franchise, have some amazing airborne stunts. They are listed in no particular order.
