  • Bad photography. Just because you have access to a video camera does not mean you know how to make a quality film. Tell the subject to remove his hat to illuminate his face and move to fore front so we can hear him above background noise.

  • Hi, Franklin.

    Our "AVweb Short" videos are shot "on the fly" by our writing staff and go online unedited. They're meant to compliment written content found online at AVweb. I edit our longer videos (like the Herpa DC-3 flight), which are meant as stand-alone products.

    That said, you're right on this, we know it, and we'll work on it. Thanks for the comments.

  • The Kid IS ME!

  • i saw this on top gear(uk show). was suprised to find out that you had to have several licences including a chauffer,pilot,driver,and ham radio licence just to operate one. oh yeah,then theres the insurance and the health and safety checks costs.., etc. theres a lesson in this folks; cool stuff like this will always be out of your grasp as long as the bueracrats are in control of your wallets and your lives.

  • HI

    Is this aerocar situated in Kissimmee at the warbird museum??

    im a student @ euroflight kissimmee and i have seen a aerocar trailer.

    kind regards

  • I heared about the areocar when I was about 10 and have always wanted to see one in person

  • Wow, what an unbelievably cool machine.

  • And don't forget to brush your teeth or the Frankinator will tear you a new one.

  • I think it is great that he is preserving this classic of aviation history. Would be cool to see it flying of course.
