THIS

I stopped watching the show because of this and the "Here and here" crap.  I also watched an episode of Stormchasers last week.  I'm sorry, but I don't need a recap/preview of upcoming events 16 times a show.  Without those recaps etc, that hour show lasts 15 minutes.
Well nerds with camera's. :D I like the show buy wow that Imax guy is a tool.

What is with the camera shaking when an aircraft whizzes by? A simulation of the fight doesn't need all that damn drama.

You should have seen the Kamikaze episode, it was funny seeing crappy looking CGI bomber crew bailing out.  I guess they spent all of their money on the aircraft CGI portions.

Worst part is none of the control surfaces ever moved, talk about tight budget..

I like the old pilot part .. There was an old man a few house's down from me that died last year and come to find out he was a WWII pilot and I did not even know it . Man , I would have spent all my day over there talking to him if I would have know that .

One of my frequent customers at our book store is a former B-24 pilot. He brought in a picture of his crew to show me one day.  Always has a story to tell me.  Plus, he told me what the proper landing speed of a 24 is, (around 100mph indicated). Saved me a ton of crashes.

I found out the other weekend that one of the "Memphis Belle" crew lived right down the road before he died!  :O
