Purchased as gifts and did not open cases, but saw the show on telivision and it was outstanding. So much so that it prompted me to buy two copies.

The DVD is an HD version.. which will not play on MOST players. I purchased One Six Left at the same time and that one was a normal DVD and a great show. I E-mailed Sporty's Customer Service center and told them of my problem and their suggestion was to go out on Ebay and purchase a HD DVD player so I could watch just this one movie.. Why would I purchase an out of date player and why would they sell this HD disk when they know the players are no longer available! Since I open the package I am sure I can not return it..

An interesting amalgam of pure "joy of flight" and anti-urban sprawl polemic. The sound of a big Merlin-powered prop biting off chunks of air is music to any airplane lover, as is the sight of a classic airplane, be it a little yellow Cub or a "heavy metal" Mustang. One Six Right presents this aspect of aviation well, albeit too briefly.
The music composed for the feature is pleasing, and the producer wisely didn't allow it to detract form the aircraft sounds, a mistake made by too many who try to catch the essence of flight on video.
The polemic portion portrays sprawling cities as often being like matriphagic insects. It's certainly true that many an airport has been lost to urban sprawl, which ironically stifles the commercial and recreational aspects of general aviation. The legal principle of coming to the nuisance often gets trampled by the greed of politicians, real estate developers, and unregulated population growth. While it was not the purpose of this video to examine this phenomenon in detail, I would like to have seen more development of it, and better juxtaposition of the wonder of flight and the ramifications of growth. It presents one California city, Van Nuys, that manages a symbiosis with its general aviation airport, and one Illinois city, Chicago, that doesn't.
What this movie does, it does well, but I was left wanting more. It was a very tasty appetizer, but it left me hungry for the main course.

If you've ever dreamed of flying, if you know someone who's a pilot, or if you're a pilot yourself, you MUST see this movie. It's really a love story -- between the pilots and their airplanes, between fathers and their sons (and daughters) who followed their dreams, and between a community and its airport, in this case VNY, Van Nuys Airport in California. The history of the airport parallels that of general aviation in this country, and it is this history that the movie seeks to tell. Although there are some famous names in the credits, they are not the stars -- and refreshingly, Brian Terwilliger treats them with no more (but no less) honor than the other less famous pilots featured in the film.
It is clear that Terwilliger is passionate about his subject -- everything about the film shows a loving admiration for the men and women who lived the history of aviation in this country and in Southern California. The cinematography is simply spectacular, and the sweeping score adds to the breathtaking aerial shots. The film's message is clear from the beginning: general aviation, and general aviation airports, are national treasures we should all work to preserve.
Recommended without any reservations whatsoever.

While channel surfing I came across this program. I remembered my daughter, who lives in Woodland Hills California, told me she drives her car to the Van Nuys airport to park for a fraction of the price she would be charged at LAX. The program was already around a half hour in progress and caught my attention. I found another date where the program was broadcast and recorded it on the DVR. Rather than take up space on a temporary recording medium, it only made sense to own the DVD.
The photography is wonderful, the interviews are extremely interesting. The information on the disappearance of general aviation airports is sitmulating -- I especially enjoyed the expose' of what Mayor Daly had done to the Chicago lakeside airport -- almost criminal.
Beyond the spectacular photography, the music is also memorable. I haven't purchased the music CD yet, but I just might.
