I would have preferred if they'd left out the goofy biplane staggering through the sky. But then, I saw the original "This is Cinerama" in the theater in LA, circa 1961. All of it was cool, but flying down the Grand Canyon in a B-25 was just too much fun. Too bad the seats weren't articulated, because we were leaning into all the turns, pullin' about 3 g's in our minds.  :P Steve

In 1944 18-20 year old's stormed beaches, and parachuted behind enemy lines to almost certain death.  In 2015 18-20 year old's need safe zones so people don't hurt their feelings.
