Part 1: The Story of Commercial Aviation An incredible overview of the history of commercial aviation, told at a pace and with plenty of action to keep any viewer fascinated. This is the same video series featured in the San Diego Aerospace Museum's all new Commercial Aviation Exhibit. It's fascinating and fast moving. The story is told in three 7 minute "chapters" featuring the early years of first airmail, and right up to the 40s. The second chapter takes the story through the turbulent years of WWII up to the jet age. The great 4 engine airliners of the 40s and early 50s fly in all their glory. The third chapter is about the jet age and shows the progression from the first commercial jet, the DeHaviland Comet, to all the Boeings; 707 through 777, Concorde, Douglas DC-8, even Convair's 880 & 990, the Lockheed L1011, and Airbus. The story includes September 11th and its impact on commercial aviation. An all-original music score adds drama to accent the stunning flight scenes. Part 2: P-51 Mustang In Action The P-51 Mustang is considered the best looking and certainly one of the best performing fighters of WWII. This video features action and combat footage of P-51's in action. The dynamic music track supports a narration which tells about the P-51 and its role. Great flying, solid music and just enough facts to keep it interesting but not get in the way of the aerial ballet of P-51's. The Mustang was the aircraft flown by the legendary Tuskegee Airmen of WWII, the first squadron of African American fighter pilots. Part 3: Great Flying Scenes This part is a compilation of some outstanding aircraft footage out of the archives, combined with some of the best work from director Fred Ashman. Aerial sequences shot with Clay Lacy introducing the new Learjet 60 and the Galaxy Business Jet (now the Gulfstream 200) are combined with phenomenal shots from productions shot for American Airlines. From the 70mm giant screen films for American's C.R. Smith Museum (named after American's legendary chairman) to shots for promotional films and commercials, the series of sequences is set to original music scores created for "Dream of Flight" and "Spirit of American." "Pure fun and entertainment." Worth watching over and over, just for the fun of it.

More than three football fields long and 214 feet high, the "Megaships" are engineering marvels. This is the story of how they are designed and built, spanning more than 3 years from concept to completion of each ship. The Freedom Class ships are the newest and biggest, but the foundation and core design all came from the first of the giants, the ships of the Voyager Class. "Adventure of the Seas", "Explorer of the Seas", "Mariner of the Seas", "Navigator of the Seas" and "Voyager of the Seas". Go behind the scenes to the shipyard in Finland to see how these giant ships are designed and built. Watch as the gigantic blocks, weighing as much as 600 tons, are pieced together like a colossal jigsaw puzzle. Witness firsthand the tests, the problems, and the triumphs of engineering leading to the drama of sea trials. Watch the captains train in a simulator where they must handle simultaneous dangerous situations and emergencies. Experience the first Atlantic crossing, with hundred of craftsmen working to complete the interior details, even as the ship encounters a major storm. See the fire and emergency training and Coast Guard inspections. Go behind the scenes in the kitchens, the engine room and on the bridge to see the behind the scenes action first hand. The Megaships are true miracles of engineering construction and logistics. This is their story. |
