Yup, fabulous video.

It took me a few seconds to figure out that "microlight" wasn't 'a small 
light' but rather 'the very lightweight flying vehicle.'

Having just watched the Games of Thrones season opener last night, it of 
course reminded me of one scene from that episode...

Am I the only one who was reminded of the wonderful 1996 movie FLY AWAY 
HOME (w Anna Paquin, Jeff Daniels)?

Am I one of the few who, because of the accordion, was (also) reminded of 
a scene from a 1950's Jules Verne movie (which I think was AROUND THE 
WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS, rather than FIVE WEEKS IN A BALLOON, although a 
quick YouTube skim doesn't verify either, although one does have one of 
the starts playing a concertina)?

Thanks, Phil!
