  • If anyone can find what this piano piece is called with the 747 I'd be eternally grateful.

  • It must be located on one of the KPM production music albums. I'm not sure which one, there are currently 700 CDs to choose from. These music albums cannot be purchased in the regular market, only off eBay.

  • Simply drop dead gorgeous... When I was a kid I used to watch this series, recorded on VHS by my dad. Remains the best aviation series and will remain forever since they don`t make 'em like this anymore.. Today I fly to 747, so this particular Episode (Trailblazer) has truly sentimental value for me.

    Al my respect to bob!

    Thank you for bringing back a little bit of my youth!

  • Thanks man! I'll try to upload more in the future...

  • I could be wrong but I thought the episode Trailblazers went just up to WWII. I was thinking this was from another episode but like I said I could be mistaken.

  • @shimcraimer Agreed, I wore my tape out replaying it over and over.

  • i wish thay made new ones with the same style as these but about modern aircraft like the A380.

  • Ditto... this was first shown when i was 10 and i watched it continuously for 5 years!!

    This has really brought me back to my childhood days living in England and loving aviation!!

    Thanks

  • This exact episode is what sparked my interest in aviation. I was 3 yrs old and my parents recorded this off BBC and I would watch it over and over again. I was inspired by Richard Bach's views and the ways he described his love for aviation!
