Has anyone seen, and can direct me to a video I recall from the distant past. I recall seeing a long time ago (probably 16mm film) showing one of the first Cheyennes, which was painted all blue, with white "blueprint" type artwork.
It was this plane: (I hope this works)

The video (movie) shows it in level flight, with the whole aircraft in an obvious flutter in pitch. This is not the video of the Twin Comanche tail fluttering, though similar.
If anyone can provide me a link to this I would very appreciate it, I have some Cheyenne flight testing to do, which will involve flutter testing.
Thanks, Jim
