Hi Guys,
we have foxtel and have been recording some programs on IQ( Like mysky) one was about scrapping a 747, which was really intresting to see how much money they made, something like $6 million out of it.
the other (which i stil have recorded) is on the EH101, man can that chopper fly, it is amazing watching some of the manovers that a biug chopper like that can do. if you get the chance to watch them do, they are very intresting

Oh, yeah I watched the start of that, then had to go to bed. They always put the interesting shows on really late

What was it called? I might be able to catch it on youtube or something.

it was called 747 breakdown, air crash investigation is pretty good too, i record those and watch them later i just watched one about the DC-10 and how the cargo doors were a big problem and they weren't fixed until a fatal crash happened.

And if you have Nat-Geo, Friday or Saturday, 3 back to back episodes of air crash investigation or seconds from disaster

(plane style, not bridges collapsing or the like, boring!))

For those with Sky, I think it [747 Breakdown] screens on Discovery? (or maybe Natgeo?) - I saw a snippet of it the other day.
