This movie takes a while to download/buffer, but it is wonderfully worth it.

While the planes are not really "our period," they are propellor driven, and magnificent to watch. Not the effects of gravity and Gs on the woman pilot's hair and this tassle thing on the man in the red plane.

One might not think planes are supposed to be able to fly like this. Certainly, when one hears about the Fok D7 "prop hanging" and wonders what that looks like... well, you'll see that and a lot more. (They really can fly almost sideways!)

Enjoy!
