I had tears in my eyes while I watched it.
It's also available on DVD (at least for Region 1) but I don't know where to buy it - mine was a freebee after I donated some money to a WWII vet organization..
I watched it and had the same reaction. I frequently go to Wright Pat and it frustrates me to no end that I didn't know before hand that this would happen - I would have found a reason for a TDY....You simply can't underestimate the moral boost and technical achivement, let alone impact of what they accomplished.
