So last night I was just going through the On Demand and the first thing under History Channel was a special on Swamp Ghost. It's 45 min long, says produced in 2020. Basically an interview with Fred Hagen that has footage of the recovery in it. I never knew anything about it or saw it posted, forgive me if it was already discussed. It was short and concise, but worth the watch.

Found this trailer here.

That looks good.

Nice to see the Movie Memphis Belle in the flying sequences. She wore that temporary scheme a year or two ago for filming and I was starting to wonder if this documentary would ever be released.

Something else for your viewing pleasure...A documentary about the founding of PanAm. It played on PBS stations this spring, but I don't recall ever seeing it announced. I ran across the last episode last month on PBS and after some googling found all three episodes are posted online in a couple of places. If it has already been posted on WIX..my aplogies...
Across the Pacific, all three episodes...

Believe it or not, that shoot was in November, 2013. We did the flight ops out of Fantasy of Flight while the Liberty Foundation was leasing her.
