Preordered the Legends 09 title the other day - The Horsemen clip sold me, but the 190 footage is a nice bonus!

Is that a real FW or one of the new builds?

Heck, I want to buy a ticket to the show and another to get across the pond for 2010!

I sent the shortcut to a Canadian friend who flew Halifaxes during WWII and here's his reply...
I'd heard they'd manufactured one from scratch and totally duplicated according to the original blueprints.
It sure looks great! We had one follow us, on the homeward leg, for about 20 minutes, one dark night but each time he began his approach, my Mid-Upper Gunner would tell me to "Screw Port - GO!" and I'd do that, whereupon I assume, he lost sight of us and had to resume his former heading. After about 4 such attempts he must have decided it was't going to be worth the effort and we didn't see him again. He may have been running low on fuel. I never saw him but my sharp-eyed gunner certainly did!
Me-109s, FW-190s, Ju-88s and One (only) Me-262, also spotted by Both my Gunners but unseen by m'self. They spotted that guy coming in from behind and were about to tell me to get the heck outa the way when he flew right past us, obvioulsy with someone else as his target.
I never saw that one either but both Gunners hollered "There's a 262", at the same time, so there isn't any doubt about it's having being there. He'd passed us and left us far behind, before they could even get a bead on him..
