WTIC-TV Fox Student News
|
My name is Giovanni Tomasi and I was the anchor for the Wright Brothers' Flyer story. When we discovered that this historical reproduction treasure was coming to our area, my cameramen Ryan Kortmann and Dan Cryan decided that this would be an excellent student news story for WTIC-TV and Fox 61 News. The WTIC-TV Fox Student News story program is sponsored by our local Fox affiliate, WTIC-TV. The student news program is open to all middle and high schools in the state and we have enjoyed producing several stories for them. If you have any questions please contact the webmaster and ask him to forward your message to our teacher, Mr. Thomas Dzicek at Capt. Nathan Hale Middle School. |
We lower the Flyer from her perch in the
FAA Flight Deck Museum (1:42).

I cannot stress how much high speed access is recommended for these
clips. Quicktime format 7.8Mb AVI format 18.2Mb MPEG format 15.0Mb Lower quality clips more compatible with low bandwidth connections . Quicktime format 1.7Mb RealMedia format 812kb This file was sent to us by Encore Cafe in MPEG format. Due to some of the technical issues of how MPEG files encode sound, the Quicktime and AVI files do not have a soundtrack. |

To have the Flyer fit in our semi-trailer, we first had to remove the canard (1:18). | After the canard, we removed the rudder assembly. By pure coincidence, the center wing box of the Flyer fits snugly into a standard length semi-trailer. (1:06) | |
