Is there a way to download videos from the site? My motivation is actually todays coverage of the first flight of the 748i. I would love to be able to show it to my dad who lives in North Carolina. He doesn't have the internet, nor will he get it. (in his 70's) But I know he would love to see this footage as he is also a huge fan of the 747.

True story, but I hope you'll bear with me. Keep in mind that this occurred in the early 70's, so things were a bit different then. My dad knew then the CEO of Lufthansa - Guenter Eser. My dad actually helped him get established in the states to get the Miami location going. Well, my dad would get invited to inaugural flights to new locations. This one time, my dad met up with a german pilot from WW2 that was the test pilot on the aircraft that pulled german gliders airborne. The aircraft type escapes me, but it was constructed much like the P-82 twin Mustang. (I have the Flug Revue magazine in storage somewhere, now I have a good reason to look for it) He told my dad to come to the cockpit once they were at flight level. He did so, and this is the part of the story he loves to tell because he knows it irks the hell out of me.   The pilot not only invited my dad into the cockpit, but also had him sit in the captains seat! Oh it gets better. Like I said, things were different then. At that time, evidently the crews were permitted to have one small glass of beer. Small orange juice glass if you will. My dad was given one. So not only was my dad was at the controls of a Lufthansa Boeing 747 over the Atlantic, he also had a glass of beer in his hand! (I hate him!)   One last salt in the wound was the pilot had my dad turn the "milk bottle lid" button just enough to go of course only to let go for "george" to get back on course. I know my dad will want this to be on his epitaph.

So with that said, I hope you'll understand why I'd love to get footage of the 748i flight for him to see.

Regards.
