Default alexis park inn and aviation videos

se the quote 'brought to you by' or something to that effect.

By the way -- I have managed to impose upon Tony Clay, a retired RAF
officer, to be my "Technical Adviser" for the video page. As excerpted from
the page:
*****************************************
Technical Advisor: Over the years, controversies have erupted over
certain videos. Spotters from all over the world are usually quick to
detect any errors, but -- occasionally -- there is a dispute over precisely
which aircraft is being displayed, or what is actually taking place
on-screen.

To help with this problem, I have persuaded retired Royal Air Force
Warrant Officer Tony Clay to act as "Technical Advisor" for the web page.
As an RAF pilot, Tony has flown -- or flown in -- a number of aircraft,
including Chipmunks, Bulldogs, Tutors, C-130s, BAE Andovers, Boeing
Chinooks, Wesland Wessex, and Sea King helicopters. He also worked on a
number of RAF fighter types, including Spitfires and Tornadoes, and visited
British and American air bases around the world while in service.

As the youngest Warrant Officer in the RAF, he taught air recon,
intelligence gathering, and the history of flight. He has recently
parlayed his voluminous knowledge of aviation history into work on TV
projects such as the critically acclaimed "Band of Brothers" on HBO
television.
If you have questions about a specific video, click here to contact
Tony directly via email.


Welcome, Tony -- and thanks for your help!

*****************************************
Tony is a marvelous expert in all things aviation, and his cordial presence
has successfully diverted some of the email away from inbox!

(You wouldn't believe the number of really, REALLY knowledgeable people are
out there looking at these aviation videos. I get emails from retired
admirals and generals every day, pointing out tiny little details that most
of us would never have any way of knowing. See the video about the F-100
Super Sabre crash, for instance, to read some great input.)

Strangely enough, while we were posting back and forth, I have received two
new contributions to the page. Jav, better fire up another hard drive!

The new drive is spinning its bits as I type this, I've had it under
test for the last couple of days. It's been fine, so I'll plug it into
the server over the weekend, and move the entire site to the new system.

Jay, thanks again for the drive contribution.
