PBS television's popular "Nova" series traces the brothers' journey (from their bicycle shop in Ohio) and attempts to re-create the historic first flight using a modern-day team of pilots, historians, builders and aviation experts.

The Greatest Flight
1995, NR, 60 minutes
Peter McMillan and Lang Kidby recreate a historic flight from England to Australia in the open-air cockpit of an exact replica of the Vicky Vimmers biplane that made the journey in 1919 in this riveting program from National Geographic. Retracing the exact flight path, the pilots travel 15,000 miles passing stunning landscapes and historic sites like the Taj Mahal. Along the way, they endure stormy weather, bureaucratic red tape and more.

The Hunters (1956)
During the Korean War, a World War II veteran fighter pilot (Robert Mitchum) joins an F-86 squadron in South Korea. Major Saville's indoctrination training is quite short, and he is soon leading elements of F-86s into combat against North Korean MIGs. In addition to the confident protagonist, Saville, the squadron is composed of a motley group of pilots, including a young hotshot "top-gun," Lieutenant Pell (Robert Wagner), and an alcoholic, Lieutenant Abbott (Lee Philips). The lead antagonist in the air is Casey Jones (Leon Lontoc), a North Korean ace who is shooting down many of the U.S. F-86s.
On the ground between aerial missions, Major Saville meets Kristina (May Britt), the wife of the troubled Lieutenant Abbott, and the two find their mutual attraction nearly irresistable.
The flying was filmed over the southwest United States, much of it in the vicinity of towering cumulus clouds, thereby adding to the sensation of speed. Real jet planes were used almost exclusively, with very limited employment of models. A great film if you enjoy watching high-speed aircraft.

In accordance with our arrangements to the Airport Board and Staff and simply because we love being at the airport working on projects of all kinds, we have a work party on Saturday morning.
Vintage members have been asked to clean up the airport tractor and it's in dire need of a good washing and some waxing to brighten up the paint. Power washers and plenty of soap and water will be available.
Fresh hot coffee and donuts will be available when you arrive. If you're still hungry around lunchtime there are some really good beef patties in the freezer just waiting to be grilled. Some of the guys may also decide to run into to town for lunch, if you're interested.
Please stop by if you're able to help and plan on having a good time with the Vintage group for a couple of hours to freshen up airport equipment.
Hope to see you there!!!
