Just saw the Guppy episode on 'Mighty Planes'. Now that is how to make an aviation reality show. Not too much emphasis on the inevitable 'deadline' and not one single 'But...there's a problem'. No 'reminder scenes'. No stupid over the top music crescendos every five minutes (even when a flight deck window shattered at altitude). Educational, even for pilots, and beautiful scenery. And a very interesting old aircraft with unpretentious and competent crews (one captain had flown the Space Shuttle).
Interesting that they disconnect multiple control cables to swing the nose open on the thing. Stratoliner/Stratocruiser? airframe, B52 mainwheels, 707 nosewheel, P3 engines, Herc props!
