As the only member of our regular cadre of flyover pilots without smoke this relegated me to the slot position or caused us to limit our use of smoke in some cases - no...

    Movie Recomendation - Infini

    Just watched an Australian sci-fi flick called Inifni that I happened across on the Youtubes, original story, fantastic acting, solid effects, great sets.
