★★★ · No mention of the Gilmore Girls.. Sorry. · Spuzz · 2017-05-18
A silent tribute to those early air pioneers, the Gilmore Brothers! What, you never heard of them? Well, neither did I, until I watched this thing. What this appears to be is not neccesarily a salute, but something of a "what could have been" as we see the two brothers go into the shed and dust off their 'plane' which looks like it couldnt get off the ground in the first place, and present it to the world to prove.. something. I'm not too sure, but I will give bonus points for the Gilmores looking like they just got out of the Ozarks.
