I'll need more time to check them out so I'll have a look later. Looks to be some really interesting other videos from that person too.

These are pretty good videos. Super Connie's are very nice.

I love the connies. They are so awesome to see live at dusk. The engines glow a red/orange color when at Full power. Has anyone else experianced this phenomenun?

I actually have those videos, along with several others like it on my hard drive. The 1st one you link to, is slightly different in parts to the one I have. The one I have is about 6 minutes longer, and is entitled "Letter from an Airline Pilot". My second part is also slightly longer. You'll note at the end of your second one, he refers to the listener as one of the passengers. This refers to the fact that the whole story starts as a letter from a passenger is delivered to the Captain, and the movie you are watching is his reply to that letter.

 

Very interesting.
