Sorry Seven. Your post was accidental deleted when I was removing a bad post. I will have to look for the rest of the Air Zealand videos you mention.
This is great. i checcked out some of the others as well. What a great way to have some fund AND make sure that passengers will not want to miss a second of their air safety briefing !
