Red Baron

Michael Selig (A UIUC aero professor who is heavily involved with the
FlightGear project) sent me the following interesting tidbit.

On Wednesday, 18 Dec is the Discovery Channel Unsolved History show:

    The Death of the Red Baron.

FlightGear was used in the model development for some of the computer
generated footage that went into the production of this show.
However, they they didn't use FG for the final rendering w/ machine
guns blaring away.  When they went to UIUC to do some of the filming,
they took footage of Michael S. flying w/ FlightGear, so it may
possibly appear in the show.  One never knows, however, what will get
lost on the cutting room floor.

They have some more info on the show at http://dsc.discovery.com.

So, if you have nothing better to do, this one might be interesting to
watch.

Regards,

Curt.
