Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted December 4, 2014 Wrench thank you for that vid in the TV thread. It caused me to find this...never seen it. Late 50s/early 60s ....

Don't have sound on my computer. 13:00+ several high altitude spins ~ 17:00+ ... Early F-105 refueling attempts....KB-50J takeoff. 26:25+ ... arming including winder racks and belly shape.

ironroad 218 Posted December 4, 2014 If you do a Youtube search on Great Planes, WINGS (insert aircraft name/designator), or Discovery Great Planes you can find a lot 70s/80s era documentaries on WWII and Cold War Era aircraft. The WINGs and Great Planes series was awesome, I remember having a few of those on VHS and I believe they were originally produced in either the UK or one of the Commonwealth countries (the narrator's accent sounds kind of Aussie or Kiwish*). Good stuff, back when documentaries had good footage, were formal, had decent narration, and really delved into the subject matter and not like today's documentaries which are dumbed-down and try to appeal today's ADHD reality tv generation. I have been looking for the complete Wings/Greatplanes Carrier series, particularly the ones they did on the Korean and Vietnam wars.
