"... that he's never seen until now"

Not sure if any of you have seen this video before but it is absolutely fascinating.  I got goosebumps watching it.  It was well worth the 15 mins of your time.

Very very cool.  All sorts of different corners in that conflict that most of us know nothing about, and Photo Reconnaisance definitely meets that description!

That's cool but it was kinda douchey of the film makers to lie to the pilot they way they did.
