Looks like it is only short vignettes and they edit more than one for each trip. I found two for Louisville on youtube.

I'll take any positive GA press we can get!
 
Watertown? He's going to regale with stories of Perkins or Culvers?

I don't think we can get that in Chicago ironically. I gotta check.

Don't forget the pilot's discount coupon from the FBO! :smile:

We LOVE Watertown! In addition to Steakfire, the Wisconsin Aviation FBO Rocks! And there's purportedly a really good coffee place around the side of the airport!
 
Just saw one on WGN during HD presentation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Hadn't seen it before!

Thanks to Jesse for a good search engine on POA, so I could append to Tristan's post instead of starting a new one.
