Discovery Wings Channel ???

wrote: I have a question I have had Discovery Wings Channel for a long time now and usually there is nothing new on it same old reruns for the last 2 years. I have not once seen any thing about Cessna aircraft on there except for that annoying learning to fly that ended after solo. I always seem to catch the same episode. Wonder why the don't do any documentary's about Cessna and some other excellent aircraft? I have sent E-mail to Discovery Channel with no response been about 3 months. They are lacking content they need to keep attention of people that watch their channel or we will stop watching. If you cancel your service before spring, you should order a copy of this. Our 25th Aviation Reunion was treated to a preview of In The Shadow Of The Blade at our April reunion. You will want to see this if you have any interest at all in choppers and the men who flew them in Nam. Here is Cheryl's e-mail: Friends, Four-and-a-half years of labor, 250 hours of footage, 8 states (plus the District of Columbia), 10,000 miles, 42 landing zones, untold sleepless nights, lots of tears, immeasurable joy, and hundreds of heroes later, I am indescribably delighted to announce the long-awaited birth of In The Shadow of The Blade! (I find it impossible not to use birth metaphors, for this project has been so like a kind of collective pregnancy, with hundreds of people contributing their talents, skills, stories, time, and efforts to the care and feeding of something that can only be described as having taken on a life of its own.) A huge thank you to all of you who participated in the gestation, and a great big virtual cigar to the post-production "doctors" who saw her through the final stages of labor and delivery--Herbert Bennett (online editor/post-production supervisor/colorist), David Govett (post-production audio mix), Paul Dumas (asst editor, jacket designer, and all-around post-pro hero) and Julie Weber (Arrowhead's tremendous, patient, and skilled biz manager). And with that, at long last, here we go.... We are delighted to announce the upcoming release of "In The Shadow of The Blade" on DVD and home video and its original music soundtrack "Nobody's Gettin' Outta Here 'Till They Hear That Sound." All products will be available online in approximately one week. Look for the "buy it now" button on the website--as soon as that goes up, we're in the green. We will notify you as soon as the redemption house is ready. The ITSOTB DVD includes the 105-minute feature film and an additional 60-some minutes of bonus material: "Living In The Shadow" music video "Because They Earned It" tribute to airmobile medics "Let's Dance" (from our helicopter pilots) "Crew Interviews" (behind-the-scenes) And additional stories including our tribute to the Five-O-Duece, Bobbi--The Weather Girl!, A Letter To My Dad, and more. (Also available on a 2-VHS set). "Nobody's Gettin' Outta Here 'Till They Hear That Sound" is a 17-track original music CD with audio from the film that tells a story itself...We think it might need a label: Warning--This Soundtrack Can Make a Grown Man Cry... FIRST EDITION PRICES: DVD: $30.00 2-VHS set: $35.00 (same content as DVD) Original Soundtrack CD: $15.00 Also available now: new ITSOTB sweatshirts, hats, tees, magnets, and more....You can order it all online through our licensed vendor at www.intheshadowoftheblade.com and look for it soon in museums and other retail outlets around the nation. There is still so, so, so much more, and we've decided that we'll put the rest of it together in a "Landing Zone to Landing Zone DVD" in about six months or so to catch "the rest of the story." But for now, there is this movie of a battle-scarred helicopter's journey across this great nation, landing in places where veterans and families waited to tell their sacred stories, unlock their memories, and reconcile with their war and their nation. We think it's a movie everyone should see. Get your copy. Grab your hankie. Strap in. Pull pitch. And take your heart for a ride In The Shadow of The Blade. p.s. Discovery Wings has acquired North American broadcast rights and plans to air ITSOTB nationally first quarter '05. We'll let you know the air date as soon as we know it.
