Great Voices, Great Planes

Over the last couple of weeks we've had an opportunity to brush up on our historical aviation knowledge, with the help of Military Channel host and former Survivor: Panama contestant Terry Dietz.  

Terry - a Simsbury, CT resident and American Airlines pilot - is a retired US Navy Commander and he provides the narration for the show Great Planes.  The show, about to start its 3rd season on Military Channel, focuses on aircraft that have played a vital role in significant military events throughout US history.   

Although Terry had previously made a name for himself on TV through his 3rd-place finish on Survivor in 2006, his expertise and enthusiasm when it comes to aviation is perfectly suited for this show.

We've even managed to learn a thing or two... 

With Season 3 just about ready to "take off," we're looking forward to seeing the new episodes!
