It's about a WWII P-51 Ace who is reunited with is airplane after 60 years. Someone restored it to the exact specs of when it flew over the skies of Europe during the War. Seeing it allows him to open and up share stories with his grandchildren about flying during the war. Prior to that he never talked about it. Towards the end he get's to go flying in a specially modified Mustang with dual controls. During the flight his airplane with his grandson in the backseat suddenly appears on his wingtip. You need to find the plugin to allow you to view vimeo vids!!

And finding a plugin for your computer or finding a computer to watch the video will be worth every effort!!

Or, you can purchase a DVD on there website. I'm going to purchase one myself.

It's not that I can't view Vimeo vids. I'm on a dialup so it would take two days to view a 10 minute clip. LOL I've just got to get something faster. Anyone out in the boonies that have found a fast solution that isn't too much trouble? Satallite is just not too reliable and we don't get cable out here. I might have to go the satallite route though if that's all there is.

I'm using Clearwire at my house in Emmett. Works pretty good where I'm at (even when it's raining or snowing hard). It's kind of like satellite, but not. You can take it with you on a road trip, to the hangar, in the RV, etc. Just need 110 electrical and a signal.

Get a broadband card -- I'd imagine every cell company must offer them by now.

I've had my Verizon one for almost 4 years now, and LOVE it. I got it so I could positively have weather access when working in remote areas, and it has not let me down. I can land, turn on the laptop, ask it to update itself geographically, and be online in minutes. Having radar and lightning info in areas where fuel stops are few and far between has been great.

It's sure made flying in thunderstorm weather much easier.

Chris Woods is a fantastic film maker, a good pilot, and is a huge asset to aviation. I was privileged to meet him at a couple of sailplane competitions (1980's) at Estrella Arizona and fly with him a few times. I took a candid photo of him while he was taking photos of other airplanes flying low over his head, crouching on top of a truck at Minden gliderport. He's the real deal.
