Looks to be pretty good, but not sure if Reach for the Sky can be beat, we shall have to see.

www.thunderbirds50.com. E-mail Dennis Hall at precision@Thunderbirds50.com for an Order Form for the DVD.
Unfortunately, they only accept check or money order (so rudimentary I know). Write 'em a check and put it in the snail-mailbox!
I received my copy of this DVD in the mail a few weeks back and it's definitely worth getting! Some new camera views during maneuvers, many of which were filmed during Aviation Nation last year as already mentioned and besides, you'll still learn a thing or two even if it lacks in continuity between maneuvers or anything more than a random glimpse of various maneuvers in no particular order. Of course "Fifi" is the center of attention, being the first female pilot on the Thunderbirds as this was filmed during last season. I thoroughly enjoyed the Cockpit Tour and Walk-Around with "Pinto" in the bonus material! Especially the part about the stop watch and wearing out two pair of gloves... I also like the quote on the inside of the toilet that's passed between the Blues and Birds for losing the annual softball game! No, really that's an understatement... I LOVE THAT QUOTE!!!
The DVD is in standard 480p quality, but shot with good cameras, so the footage is clean and crisp despite its lack of HD.
