GRAY EAGLES FILM BY CHRIS WOODS | www.asb.tv

Filmmaker and P-51 Mustang Pilot Chris Woods has put together a wonderful film that captures the emotional reunion between a humble WWII Mustang ace (Jim Brooks) and the historic plane he thought he'd never see again.

Inspired by the flood of memories triggered by this unimaginable encounter with a long lost friend, the 88-year old pilot finally breaks his silence, sharing his stories and experiences of war with the grandchildren who never thought they'd hear them.

Wood's interviews with Brooks, his grandchildren, and other airmen who were touched by the Mustang's role in history are cut together to create a compelling narrative that is framed in stunning high-definition photography.

ASB.TV loves beautifully done aviation storytelling films. Fellow Mustang pilot and director Chris Woods has put together one of the very best! Watch for yourself and see... then go to the link below and order a copy of GREY EAGLES for your own.

Gobbles comment: The link takes you to a 30 min short film that is amazing. Imagine 100 P-51s on the tarmac, a B-17 in the mix, and this aviator getting to take the controls once again. Amazing!

 

That's an awesome post. I am going to have to watch the whole thing later. Thanks for sharing this. Gotta love that P-51 though.

 

Post of the day, no question!! Thanks again bud

I'm definitely emailing this to my 86 yr old grandfather, as he flew the P-51 in Korea and a B-17 in WWII.

 

The P-51 is one of the most beautiful planes ever made.
This is a great video, with a touching story. It is definitely worth watching.

 

A story that equals the plane, and I don't say that lightly.

 

Can't wait to watch this at home! Thanks Gobbles!
