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! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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. -jav |
