I don't think I saw anyone post this but apologies if I missed it.


There's a new PBS program on the behind-the-scenes workings of AirVenture
with a focus on the 2007 show. Quite interesting and well done IMO.

Hey, guys, I'm curious about this bit:

"Viewers get an insider's perspective when INSIDE flies along with the world's
best aerobatic pilots as they twist and tumble through the sky, and follow a
father and son crew as they fly their restored P-51 Mustang on its maiden
voyage to Oshkosh after a 14-year restoration..."

I'm not sure which one they're talking about, but I hope it doesn't turn
into those "Wait...WHAT?!" moments like the one about the B-29 restoration
in Greenland.

No it doesn't... The P-51 that the show focuses on has a successful
trip to/from the show. But the fatal P-51 landing incident involving
2 aircraft is covered in the show (with video of the crash).
