Aviation Documentaries

I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who tapes all the aviation related documentaries on cable TV.

All of us here cringe when watching a movie and see a 747 taking off and then they cut away to a B-52 tucking in its gear. Yesterday I taped one called "Aviation Daredevils". Aviation history is great, but when the narrator tells of Charles Lindberghs 13½ hr solo flight in 1924, you really have to wonder!! (My fifth grade history book put it at 33½ hrs in 1927). Oh Well!, the High-Def video footage is still worth watching.

Speaking of aviation related shows, tonight (Sept 28) at 10 PM on the National Geographic Channel, "WORLDS TOUGHEST FIXES" about a Boeing company team that responds to an out of service 767 requiring major repairs in the field.

Time to FIRE UP the DVD recorder!!!

That 767 doc sounds very interesting! I'd like to watch that.

An article in Air & Space Magazine says that part of the deal in making the documentary was that the airline would not be identified. I guess they underestimate the resources of NYCA. Check out: http://jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6143996&nseq=0
