The Tiger Boys and Girl is a short documentary film by Tom Vetter & Joey Giovenco of TVRE Productions in Buffalo, N.Y. Their footage is as simplistically moving as the subject: old airplanes and a group of friends who love to fly them.

Steve Roberts believes pilots should begin their flying careers in gliders. Apart from teaching you how to fly with some subtlety, you’re never really sure where you’ll end up. The results are often unexpected, as you’ll read in this humorous tale.
