Brilliant! David was good friends with my Dad, in fact he was best man at my parents wedding in 1977. David flew my Dad to the Le Mans 24 hour race in his own plane in the late 70's. What a legend! Sadly, I never got to meet him as I was born in 84. Gone way too soon.

Saw this in the 80s on National Geographic Explorer. It inspired me to learn to fly aerobatics. The sounds of Supertramp's Child of Vision and Mozart's piano concerto are missed.

Nice, but it's been chopped around a bit, and should have kept the original music IMHO.

Thank you, unfortunately I had to clip it and change music due to copyright issues. I would have loved to have kept it original.
