I can heartily recomend the entire series but of particular interest to PLU is the episode "The Pilot". The explaination of the priciples of flight is sure to stike a cord with any student pilot whose eyes have ever glazed over during a briefing.

Both the TV series and the Radio one are good but I am a fan of radio since it doesnt interfere with my workshop "hands on" time.

It would be remiss of me to suggest anyone bittorent it but absent my suggestion you might just do it any how.

Enjoy

Mark

Didn't take long to crack a funny, "(Heathrow) with all the facilities and infrastructure that a modern city needs, including it's own airport" hah!

5 Karma for the one who finds the Microsoft Flight Sim 2000 logo. No joke, it's in there.

Hint #1: it's in the first clip.

I thought a good reason for learning how to fly would eventually crop up. After watching just one episode, I don't think I'll fly commercial again. I'll fly myself and shift my house away from any flight paths.
