Col. Kittinger is a pilot as well, and he appears in the latest trailer for Will's movie, A Pilot's Story:

Not to get this too off track, but what happened to the trailer Friday night at Oshkosh? We went to the Fly-in Theatre after the Podapalooza expecting to see Will's new trailer, but it wasn't shown!Col.

Yes it was - Just a lot later than was expected! It was supposed to show at 7 PM or something like that, but when I got over there at about 8:45 and talked to Will, they still hadn't presented it. I ran off to the traditional post-podapalooza dinner at a mexican restaurant so I'm not sure when it finally got shown.
You were at the Fly-in Theater and NOT the Theater in the Woods right?

Yeah, we were at the fly-in-theater. In fact we saw Jason in the VIP area, but we don't rank to be able to go in to talk to him!Yes it was - Just a lot later than was expected!

We left when the X-15 pilots came on stage, because we figured that they wouldn't put Will's trailer between that and the movie, and Greg & Sharon were waiting for us at the compound.

Yeah, they must have played it after you left.
