Mister Cooper, you are a never-ending
source of amazement! That plus you have
the God-given gift of Personal Altitude,
making you the ideal filming platform!
Whenever I watch a Cluney Vid, I just KNOW
I'm going to be seeing the TOPS of people's
HEADS!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Bliz!

you mean that you can actually FIT under the bonnet of an Me109? i bet your arms ache after all that flapping don't they? =))

ACTUALLY, i saw 'Black Six' flying several times, before she back-flipped and was grounded :(

agreed though - although i only pointed out that it just isn't the 'real deal' :p
