As I type this, I know it's going to bite me in the ass since this is about James Horner and it's on FSM's board, but I wanted to spread the word to those who might be interested (and those who aren't who will choose to threadcrap with negativity just to be "that guy", well that's pretty much the definition of pathetic)
For several years, composer James Horner has been taking to the skies in vintage World War II fighter planes, flying with a team known as The Horsemen, a trio of aerobatic pilots who fly in tribute to those who flew fighting for their country.
Horner is known as the Fourth Horsemen, and anyone who has seen Horner in recent "Avatar" interviews and scoring session footage will not only notice that funny blue scarf, but also a baseball cap - that cap is one of the official Horsemen hats worn by the team.
Horner wrote a piece of music that he had recorded with his usual hollywood orchestra and actually cues it up personally at some of the various air shows the Horsemen fly in, as it is their official music they choreograph their routine to.
This is a video (available in a variety of quality formats) about Horner's history with the team and recording the piece.

Horner can be seen in a few other videos on the site as well, and the full-length piece will eventually be made available for purchase from the ASB (Air Show Buzz) website.

Loved it! There's no way to download and save that video; is there?

Well, to quote Mr Horner himself at the end of the video:
"Pretty damned good"
This is what James Horner should be in all his music - to me that was absolutely gorgeous and thrilling to listen to - I'd love to have a copy of that.
Full marks Mr Horner - full marks.

but also I like the music that I could hear in the video. That'll be one to get for sure.
