Hi guys,

you know those times, when you are just plain bored with not a whole lot to do. Well I did a little snooping on Youtube, well one thing ledt to another that lead to another and so on, but I found myself looking at some rather interesting video, which I believe was uploaded by a gentleman in Japan (?) that he has done (?). Rather than give you a page by page type note on this you may like to check into the video's he has listed on "His" page of video listings. So......without further "ado"...I present you the Youtube link to this gentlemans page.....check out the stuff he has done. It looks like a very done set of video's:

Enjoy,

Paul

Easy there, big guy...time to take a deep breath and relax.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised you hadn't seen any of this footage before. Most of it has been floating around in vhs format for years. If I knew you'd get this excited, I would have given you some of the old videos I had (before the unfortunate "accident" one of my little ones had with a 2-liter of Pepsi, but that's another story).

It would seem that the stuff on youtube may have been pirated from a certain dvd. Check the following discussion from over at j-aircraft.

i guess i lead a sheltered existence!!! i'm 45, & have been into aviation history since 1972, reading on the topic, building & blowing up models, collecting / dealing/ selling antique aviation memorabilia since 1987, 4 magazine articles published. i guess my running the family business has alienated me to a certain extent over the years, i put in damned near 80 hours per week, & it cost me my 1st marriage.... honestly....... everything i've seen over the years is the usual fuzzy worn out footage right up to the dauntlesses in japanese markings!!! i've got koku fan books, books out the ying yang beyond that. i can sniff out a warbird at 3/4's of a mile!!! i watch enough of the boring channels as my wife & kids call them....... & still nothing close to that you tube footage posted today.
