What format is that video in? I just get the pip-up with blanks where the
video should be.

REAL

I found that if you watch one, you then have to refresh the main page before
clicking on the other, but it all works here.

It was Real Video. A little player popped up instead of my more usual Windows
Media Player. I actually found a file a couple of years ago called
REALALT102.EXE on the web that allows me to run Real Audio and video files
without all the spyware. I have a copy if you can't find it anywhere else.

For those that have seen the Masters of Disaster air show this may or

may
not come as a shock, but Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin are no longer

with
us.

See www.avweb.com for the story.

They will be missed.

Did anyone notice that on the AirVenture Air Show page today, Franklin's
and Younkin's names have been erased? Gone. Like they didn't exist. The
EAA took the time to do a big write-up about a plane that won't be coming
due to wing corrosion, but nothing about this tragedy. Somehow I expected
more from them.

I expect that if, instead of wing corrosion, the B-29 had gone up in a
ball of flames crash then it too would have quietly disappeared from
the AirVenture website, and correctly so. It should be noted that the
EAA did write up the accident on the EAA website (www.eaa.org), where
it remains the top article at the time of this writing ("EAA Mourns
Loss of Younkin, Franklin in Air Show Accident").

Whatever format it is in, it is buried inside a flash object. I had to
activate flash to see it, and then deactiveate it when done (by renaming
all versions of flash.ocx and swflash.ocx)

Must depend on what system and software you have. I didn't have to do
anything before, after or in between to view them, just click. They are
compelling, but hard to watch (emotionally).

You must not know how to look. Yesterday the accident story was front and
center on the EAA home page. It is still there today but down a couple of
stories.
