Saw and amazing film last night thanks to 2K. Cold Blue is restored combat footage taken from the 8th Air Force B-17's. Thanks to Paul Allen for all his contributions to aviation and beyond.

I highly recommend this film to adult pilots and aircraft designers. It's not a kid's film. It is not a Pixar style film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imtdgdGOB6Q The film is controversial. I looked into the controversy before I saw...

Hi all in US-glider land! I am just curious: what happened to the rebirth of the Polish Kr-03 trainer, which was supposed to be built by a company in Florida? With the Euro growing stronger and stronger against the US$ and the aging fleet of 2-33, I thought there would be a good market for this US...
