Quick Update on filming Inside The Cockpit
Added 2020-02-11 22:23:56 +0000 UTCHey all,
A few hectic days after my short break which means that this update comes out a bit late. Soon, I'll be flying back over to Germany to film a bunch of Inside The Cockpit episodes (and more) for all of you. I'll also be visiting the Military Archives once more.
As for the filming schedule, I have planned:
- MiG-21
- F-104
- Do 24
- Do 31
- VAK 191
- EF2000
- Fokker DVII
- He111
- An-2
Here is hoping that it all goes well! More updates to follow soon from the road.

2020-02-21 19:22:32 +0000 UTCMystery Science Theater 3,000 created a wonderful episode around a movie, "Starfighters," that was about a squadron converting to the F-104. The DVD is part of a set of four, available from Deep Discount and other outlets. I don't know if RiffTrax has made this episode available as a Video on Demand (VOD), yet. Worth watching to the end, for the movie itself to refer to the trans-Atlantic flight safety flotation overall as "the poopy suit." MST3K made up a wonderful, awful song, full of poopy references.
