I don't know how many of you know about this channel but I thought I would tell you about it for those that don't.
It is called the Discovery Wings channel. Its a 24 hour aviation channel.
I don't know if it is available on cable or not. I have a the Dish Network and its is available in the Top 150 package.
Needless to say, when I am not watching a movie, I have it on the Discovery Wings channel.
Sure I have seen some of the programs but If you are like me, I never get tired of, as my roomate calls them "Airplane shows".
Just thought you might want to check it out if you can get it.

Bye,

In my area it's part of an ATT "Digital Cable" package which costs an extra $15/month. The rest of the package is mostly garbage so I had to pass.

Is it mostly repeats of the old "Wings" program that used to be on the regular Discovery channel?

Does anyone have the Discovery Wings CD's? There are 3 of them...one covers aviation up to Midway, then Midway to Hiroshima, then post war. I have the Midway to Hiroshima one. Lot's of info, videos, interactive animations, still photos and campaign histories. I'm not sure if they are still available.

There is a Discovery store here in Albany that has all the CD's, videos, etc. from the channel. I know where I'm sending my wife Christmas shopping this year

Jerry,
Its got everything from Space to Hot air balloons. Quite a wide variety in my opinion.
There are some of the old "Wings" programs on but there is usually nothing else on anyway.

Love the channel!

One of the few channels I go out of my way to watch. I always liked "The Wing Will Fly..."

Yeah Jerry, I have the Midway to Hiroshima and Blitz to Pearl Harbour set.
Great amount of info, the simulators are good for their size too. He-111 in particular.

Unfortunately, ATT Digital Cable here does not carry that; I have asked for it, but am told " not enough interest". My reply is always, Excuse me, but my bill is paid, and I am interested - that is more than enough. Then they hang up on me. I blame first Discovery, for making it a seperate channel, then myself for not showing ATT the size of my weapon.

I MEANT the cannons on my SPIT!! Gee, can't take you guys anywhere...
