GREAT PROJECT !! Love it ! Music...not so much...brazil...VERY MUCH

[andrelbgiraldi]

But this song "speaks" to our heart (Brazilian Air Force lovers), like a P-51 in fly by with Glen Miller song. I think you know...

I´m making another video, much better than this. In this time - we will listen Joe Satriani.

Thanks for your opinion.
