Premiered in Macon, Georgia, Scott's hometown, "God Is My Co-Pilot" had commercial success as one of the last of the patriotic productions to be released during wartime. In a modern context, the film has received a revival in interest as it is now considered one of the "classic" aviation films, primarily due to its aerial scenes, which were always considered one of its assets. Along with Scott's role in telling the story of the Flying Tigers, "God is My Co-Pilot" is now considered to be more a historical record.
