First impressions after viewing the main picture and extra features.
It's quite professionally done, but ultimately it's not a flying or aviation DVD, it's the history of Van Nuys Airport. Thus, unless you're familiar with the airport--I'm not--it can be a little boring. I found myself hitting the fast forward several times. Was a little disappointed they didn't have night flying scenes. With such a professional production they would have been great. Unlike the trailer on the web, you won't find Enya's music in the DVD. Is it worth the price, nearly $30 + shipping? Sure. But I'm still waiting for the ultimate flying video. |

Thus, unless you're familiar with the airport--I'm not--it can be a little boring. I disagree completely. It's very little about the history of the airport, and very much about people who love to fly, why they love to fly, and what they get out of flying. It's beautiful, and it's sentimental, and it has some of the best flying scenes ever filmed. I got it last night, and I've watched it twice already. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Every program has two purposes -- one for which it was written and another for which it wasn't. |
