  - Free lesson: 'movie' is derived from the term 'moving pictures', which is what film was originally called; video of course is a later derivative of film. To get to the point, yes it's a picture, yes it's eligible. --jjron (talk) 06:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Oh, whee. Thanks for that little lecture. I'm giving this one Strong Support for its encyclopedic and historical value. I'm simply astounded that the first supersonic flight took place onboard such an aircraft. -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 04:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
