[QuadList] Quads on a....

[David C. Crosthwait]

Regarding:
And the VR-3000's went everywhere, and some of the footage from
Compact Video, particularly shooting from one Lear  Jet, a second one  
flying over "The
Grand Canyon" was the best early airbourne video that I have seen.

This was known as "Astrovision", which was comprised of a PCP-90C, a  
VR 3000, and a Lear Jet 24 aircraft.

I will post more on the website soon.
