Bill asked->How is it that Mike Cuy looks so young in the video, but his plane looks>the same as it does now?It's a program called "PhotoShop", Bill. By using it, the producers at EAA wereable to knock a good dozen years off of Mike's appearance, not to mention abouttwo full kegs worth of beer belly and an extra chin. They felt that publishingthe raw unedited footage might lead to credibility problems for non-aviationtypes who saw his beautiful airplane but couldn't believe that somebody likeMike could have built such a beauty, much less fit in it. The voice-overwas not really Mike speaking, either... they have Hollywood studio men with youthfulvoices and good enunciation who did the sound track for the video.I think Mike may have paid them off, too ;o)The very best part of the video, for me, was hearing Steve's airplane spring tolife. I know that sound!!! Pocketa-pocketa-pop-pocketa goes the A65. Justviewing the video made me once again pull out my stack of sectionals and keepplugging away at possible routes and stops to Brodhead this summer.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
