Customer Reviews

Why would you want to fly a small plane?
This is a very interesting movie for anyone interested in flying or learning to fly. This would be great movie to show to those who wonder why in the heck you would want to fly in a small plane. The movie also explains the importance of General Aviation airports and the role they play in our national infrastructure. It has great photography and was very well researched.

To say that this movie is by Sydney Pollack is a bit misleading. He had a very minor role in being interviewed for a few minutes but he obviously has a big "star power" name. It is really the work of the Director, Brian Terwilliger. I was fortunate enough to hear him introduce this film at the AOPA convention in Palm Springs. This is his first film and he really did everything he could to make this happen. Anyone interested in aviation would find this a great movie!

Great Aviation Movie
If you are a pilot or just someone who is fascinated by aviation this movie is a must see. It explains why I fly better than I can express it myself. A very interesting story about the evolution of an airport. It makes you realize just how precious these local GA airports are and how they are disappearing very fast.

One Six Right
This is a wonderful little "documentary" about the history of small airports in the USA, and how important it is to keep them open. Too many are disappearing each year, and once closed are lost forever. The history of the the Van Nyes, CA airport is explored as an example of the importance and success of a small airport.

I had a pilots license at one time. My husband saw this on Amazon and ordered it for me. I loved it! I just order a copy for my father for Father's Day. He was also a pilot and the proud owner of a Waco biplane.

I recommend this DVD to anyone with an interest in flying, especially of private planes.
