I've been an "Expanded Basic Cable" guy for the last 20 years.. In the mid
90's Discovery Wings was included and I could watch it any time of the day

out of my channel range. Then it became the Military Channel.

I recently up dated my AV system to join this millennium and the Military
Channel is now in my channel line up.

What a POS!

My question is, does anyone have the back story of how the Discovery Wings
channel became the Military Channel? Everybody I knew considered Discovery
Wings a fantastic channel and I assumed it had high ratings.

Now I've got 250 channels including such winners as the Extreme Basket
Weaving Channel. I can't for the life of me figure out why some network
genius can't see the value of bringing back Discovery Wings.

It switched before I got a chance to pitch my new shows for the channel.

I bet you could pick a new airport every week, and start opening hangar
doors and ask about local aviation. You would see some really neat
aircraft/projects ant it seems every area has local aviation "heros" you
could get some cool stories from. You could probably get over 20 good
episodes from my state alone. A multi-year series aught to be easy.

Also, I think a show where you go from flyin to flyin interviewing
people would be cool. (No, I am not talking about Oshkosh)
