Oh, and speaking of Mythbusters.  I think I forgot to tell you guys that my plane and I were part of an episode back in 2011 (maybe aired in early 2012).  We were confirming the myth that flying in formation can save gas.  Had a super fun 2 days of shooting with Karri, Torri, Grant, and 8 of my formation buddies.  The episode is called "Toilet Bomb" and is available on amazon if you want to waste an hour of your life.  I am only in a few brief clips, but in one really nice slo-mo shot you can see my prop turning the oppisite direction from the other guys while we were overhead for the break.

I think the Mythbusters debunked the explosive decompression myth.  Not an overly scientific source but not bad for cable media.
