Red Tail Reborn, produced by Cleveland area filmmaker Adam
White, has been picked up for national distribution by PBS. Hosted
by television star, Michael Dorn, Red Tail Reborn toured the United

starting in February 2008.

Laser (ABL) program, capping a successful year for the
revolutionary airborne directed energy weapon system.
