Airborne
Short Film (Full Length) – 1980
I never thought I would get to 30 years old and then I never thought I’d get to 40. Then when you get to 40, you want to get to 50.– Pilot Doug Maxwell, in a January 2017 North＆South article on deer culling
Yesterday the deer were hunted. Tomorrow they will be farmed. Today's airborne captures will have become history.– A prediction made at the end of Airborne, which failed to come true
