Ik voeg de soundtrack van dit filmpje toe als vrije keuze voor de Top2000 van dit jaar. Who needs Queen or Eagles when you have a J79...

Dear All,

It's fair to say, grown men are weeping at Starman acres .... the 637 first potted at Verona (can't think what I was doing there, visiting the Opera perhaps) in 1982!

YES! :D
To put a damper on this: received an e-mail from Mr. de Bruin. At this moment there are no plans by the guys flying it to display outside of Norway, and non-Norwegian authorities seem to be very, lets say "careful" about this one.
