There was a one hour show called Free Flight on the Discovery Channel
in the early 90's. It was part of a series called Equinox. It was
partly about the prototype of the ASW-24 as well as other topics. Very
interesting and enjoyable.

There was an excellent short movie produced by IMAX called Silent Sky.
I say it in the late 80's but it was produced in 1977. I've tried very
hard to find a copy. IMAX says it's not avialable on DVD or video. We
should all bug them to do that.
