bomber

* German World War 2 Newsreels:JG 26, Rommel, Night Fighters, Panzers
& more. See World War 2 the way it was shown to the German people.

* Black Cat PBYs What was that mysterious plane swooping down out of
the night sky on unsuspecting Japanese ships and bases, hundreds of
miles from any known American airstrip? The answer was, as you'll see
in this good humored, affectionate film, the slow, ungainly, but
deadly "Black Cat" PBY.

* B-58 Hustler 1st Test Flight in resorted color NEW!On Veterans Day,
Nov 11th, 1956 Convair's revolutionary delta wing B-58 "Hustler"

giant B-36 "Peacemaker" intercontinental bomber.

* Recognition of the Japanese Zero with Ronald Reagan Lieutenant

Japanese A6M Zero fighter the hard way

* Operating Light & Medium Tanks in World War 2 New Restored Not only
does this film cover the basics of operating World War 2 era American
tanks, it offers a rare look at two seldom seen early examples, the
M-3 Medium "Lee," (British "Grant") and the M-3 Light "Stuart." A Lee
was featured in the 1943 Hollywood classic motion picture "Sahara,"
starring Humphrey Bogart. The Stuart appeared in many episodes of DC
Comic's "Jeb Stuart and the Haunted Tank," often in the unlikely role
of taking on German Tigers.

* Operating the Browning Automatic Rifle "The BAR." One of the iconic
weapons in the US arsenal.

As part of a masters degree capstone project, I'm looking for people to help by completing a brief (5 min) survey on the effectiveness of the FAA WINGS program on general aviation safety. The survey is entirely anonymous, and your answers will be used to characterize the current program.

Link to survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1B7B...lwVWE/viewform

If you can, please participate as this study will be used to evaluate the program and ultimately provide suggestions for improvement. Whether or not you're actively flying your input will help!

If you're interested in learning more about the study let me know, and I'll be sure to send you the details. Thanks! ]]> Piloting Plummea1 http://www.aviationbanter.com/showthread.php?t=167999
