is there an emoticon for "swells with pride" ?!!!

It's colon+right parenthesis, while holding the <CTRL>+<ALT>+<SHIFT> keys and humming "Rule, Britannia."

Outstanding! History told thru the story of flight!

[H.G. Frautschy]

Oh my, that's fantastic! The CG'd formation shot at the end is goose-bump good!

[Hal Bryan]

Yes, definitely some of the least offensive airplane CG I've seen ... and that's high praise from me!

Here's a video that looks at the making of the ad:

One error noticed, the DH89 Rapide shown is wearing the registration G-ADCN, in actiual fact this belonged to a DH86 Express. Nit picking I know, but it is difficult to ignore when you remember the aircraft flying out of your local airport back in the 1950's! (Whoops, given my age away now) Wish that some of the DH86's where still flying around, four engines on a biplane.
