Fwd: C-130 "Angel Flight"















 
 

 For the info of those who may not know, the 'angel wings' that appear in several of the pics used in this video are not 'PhotoShopped' in -- they are naturally-occurring smoke trails churned up by the turbulence over the wings and horizontal stabilizer and are from the flares that are deployed to confuse enemy target-seeking missiles.

Now, I defy you to watch this video without either chills or tears -- or, both!!  Be sure to read the comments below the video (after) you return from 'full screen.'

God, watch over all our vets
and their families -- those still with us and those who have gone on.
 
 
This video is about a song called "Angel Flight". . . .   It is terrific. The song
is being performed with "effects." Listen to the words of the pilot and the
tower, and make sure you sit quietly and listen at the very end.. You will
understand why one of the singers said he would be glad to help with the
song.....if he could stop crying. This is beautiful. God bless Vets!

Clever 1-Minute Video Shows How Airplane Wings Really Work

Finally someone has shown what I have argued to be the case for 30 plus years. If it worked the way most
books say it does then you could not mix paint and there would be no need to stir anything.
