Default New TV Show To Me

Not sure if this has been posted, but wanted to share with you all that I have recently stumbled across a really good documentary series on Netflix called "Plane Resurrection". Basically, it's the restoration of historical aircraft. They are broken into approx 1 hr episodes. I find them quite educational and entertaining.

Unfortunately Maurice Hammond, who features in several episodes, was in a serious accident with his P51 'Janie'.

He is back home now, in good spirits and on the mend by all accounts.

I nice series, not over dumb-downed and even a bit of RV action.

Default Plane Resurrection

I also recently found this on Netflix streaming through a Roku and have enjoyed watching it. I've seen four episodes and plan to see the others soon. I'm sorry to learn of Mr. Hammond's accident and hope he gets well soon.
Several good closeups of different fabrication methods have been interesting.

I wish it would show more work on the actual plane rather than give you a history lesson and show a bunch of archival footage. But it is good to see a show about planes now and then.
