That's a truly fantastic (and moving) video. I've never read the famous book, though have read many articles about the author through his aviation passion, which I share. ( When I was quite young my father would lavish me with plastic airplane kits - I especially loved warplanes - fave being Supermarine Spitfires, such a beautiful machine; also early planes such as Bleriot's, Wrights', later civilian and military jets). And in the '90's went mad building, flying and crashing (sometimes!) R/C balsa kits - it's amazing how fun those are to fly, also how actual pilots are usually crap at flying them initially - you don't have any "seat-of-the-pants" type feedback which pilots are used to, and it's rather hard at first!
Anyway, thanks again for the link. Strange things happen, eh?
