I first saw this when Mikey from Buffalo featured it, sure has come a long way.

Professionally produced and well presented update video on "Night Fright", you're both naturals in front of the camera too.
Good to see the progress being made on the aircraft, such a restoration takes time, but l have no doubt Charlie and the team will get there.
A few years ago l had the idea of having a local Big Band l have sung with play such classic movie themes as 'A Bridge Too Far', 'The Longest Day' and some Glen Miller thrown in for good measure on the day of her completion roll out/first flight. Charlie seemed keen on the idea too, who knows it may still happen.
You will find the band playing on several of our own videos, along with a number of aviation related stories that you may find interesting to watch.
Keep up the good work
Gary

De writer of the book Night flight (Vol de nuit , 1931), Frenchman Antoine de Saint-exupéry. A commercial pilot before the war and at the startt of the war he joined the French air force, demobbed in 1940 he went to the US and later went to join the Free French air Force even in a bad health and past the maximum age for pilots. He dissappeared on July 31, 1944 with his Lockheed Lightning P38J,
