… that there is a sky up there…. 

Found this great promotion video while browsing, it was newly made for the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in Oregon:

Evergreen Space and Aviation Museum is the home of the HK-1 flying boat known as the “Spruce Goose”. A great aircraft collection with photos and history along with the Hughes flying boat.

There is more like these, the whole series made for the museum at Wieden + Kennedy.

When i have a minute or two i like to go through FS related contributions in Youtube and sometimes there is a movie that really strikes a bell watching. This time it’s the way the maker, Larsked,  sees FS that stood out for me… sometimes taxiing aircraft reminded me of ballet dancers (am i getting to mellow? <g>) But watch for yourself:

If you have an interest in the American space flights you’ll probably already know this, but you can follow everything that’s currently happening at the International Space Station on Web TV, just click here! The NASA website has a wealth of other really interesting information, photos and videos for you to peruse. But seeing what happens up there all the time is really exciting. Have a look!

I was browsing through YouTube looking for something else and came across this fantastic FSX advertisement that was launched for FSX marketing around September 2006 if my memory serves me well. I don’t know who produced it, if you do and have any more information on this short movie please fill in a comment (that’s one of the nice new features on simflight… <g>).
