"The Four-Winged Dinosaur" premieres Tuesday, NOVA February 26

"In 2002, the discovery of a beautiful and bizarre fossil astonished  
scientists and reignited the debate over the origin of flight. With  
four wings and superbly preserved feathers, the creature was like  
nothing paleontologists had ever seen before. Join us this Tuesday as  
NOVA travels to the Chinese stone quarry where the fossil was  
discovered and teams up with the world's leading figures in  
paleontology, biomechanics, aerodynamics, and scientific  
reconstruction to perform an unorthodox experiment: a wind tunnel  
flight test of a scientific replica of the ancient oddity."

"The Four-Winged Dinosaur" will premiere Tuesday, February 26 at 8pm  
on most PBS stations
