Gray Eagles Film by Chris Woods

I found this quite touching and don't recall seeing this here before.

Quote
Filmmaker and P-51 Mustang Pilot Chris Woods has put together a wonderful film that captures the emotional reunion between a humble WWII Mustang ace (Jim Brooks) and the historic plane he thought he'd never see again.

Inspired by the flood of memories triggered by this unimaginable encounter with a long lost friend, the 88-year old pilot finally breaks his silence, sharing his stories and experiences of war with the grandchildren who never thought they'd hear them.

Wood's interviews with Brooks, his grandchildren, and other airmen who were touched by the Mustang's role in history are cut together to create a compelling narrative that is framed in stunning high-definition photography.
"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."
— George Patton

Think it's been posted a couple times before, but a great video nonetheless.
