Check out page 78 of the latest AOPA Pilot issue if/when you get it. They
devoted a full seven pages to the article about this movie. Marco "Wizard of Draws" wrote in message news:BD562E20.1E3FB%jeffbREMOVE@REMOVEwizardofdraw s.com...

Marco I did see that article, but I don't see any mention of sponsorship or actual involvement on the part of AOPA. Other than helping publicize it in a magazine read primarily by aviators, what has AOPA done to bring the film to the attention of non pilots? Stuff like this can go a long way toward keeping GA airports open and helping people understand why GA is important to their communities. -- Jeff 'The Wizard of Draws' Bucchino Cartoons with a Touch of Magic http://www.wizardofdraws.com http://www.cartoonclipart.com

"Rosspilot" wrote in message ... Check out this site. Click on "Trailer". http://www.onesixright.com/ It's great. Beautifully produced, obviously a labor of love. I look forward to seeing the completed project, and hope it gets lots of exposure. Of course my own home airport's story has a history even richer and more interesting than this one.  I'm sure one could do a very nice littlefeaturette on most GA fields. I only have one minor criticism of the film: with only one exception, everyone shown (at least in the trailer) is what most of the movie-going public would probably think of as an old geezer. Of course, that accurately refelects the pilot demographic (you and me), and while that's not the movie's fault (it is after all depicting history), in order to "connect" better with the general public it might not be a bad idea to show some people in the film without so much gray hair. Media pieces like this can help bring more folks into GA by showing how exciting it is (something that's not accomplished very often) but trying to hook young folks by showing a bunch of (us) old farts isn't going to be as effective as showing some younger, more, um, attractive types. Maybe AOPA should be working on J-Lo and Beyonce to see if they might be interested in taking flying lessons (hey, I heard that Angelina Jolie wanted to get her ticket, maybe it's not such a crazy idea!). Anyway, that's minor nitpicking. It's a very nice film, and my hat's off to the folks who are producing it. As the original poster said, we need more stuff like this (a LOT more). -- David Herman N6170T 1965 Cessna 150E Boeing Field (BFI), Seattle, WA - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Visit the Pacific Northwest Flying Forum: http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/pnwflying
