I don't know if it was already posted but here is one of my favorite Aviation tale made in a short movie for Christmas on Disney+!!!

Trailer :

I wanted to celebrate it with an artwork I have done few years ago... at least i didn't do a big mistake with the DH100 Booms like in the official artwork for the movie... lol

John Travolta in it

I am ok with it, he is an aviation lover so I am sure producing and acting in it, the movie will be decent because he is doing it for the passion (he even owned a Vampire by the past).

This just drop on Disney+

One of the Vampires based here in Norway was used for the shoot, flown by the owners, who I have flown with several times at airshows, etc. Looking forward to seeing this, it’s a tradition for me to listen to the reading by Alan Maitland every December with a glass of whisky in my hand and some logs on the fire.

I never heard of the Vampire, the first single jet engine jet fighter to serve with the RAF.

or that it was used in these 2 wars I also never heard of:

that's what I get for being young.

Just watched it. It was pretty good. I didn't think the flying sequences were great but good enough. I'll show it to mum next week, she better have the tissues ready.
