Summary: Fighter Ject three year loves it!!!
Review: My three year is absolutely in love with this movie. He has watched it more than one hundred times I am sure. I find it perfect to teach him the dynamics of flying and see the fighter jets he so loves without all the violence as in most other movies of this nature...would love to see more like this.

Summary: Get anything else, trust me.
Review: People who highly rated this have lost there minds. This must have been there first DVD. The video was the worst I have ever seen. Some sort of tinting filter was used throughout, at times masking half the screen. its similar to looking up threw a top tinted windshield. Also, this thing is boring and short. They pulled a sneaky by including the extra features as part of the total running time. The story lacked direction. The sound was good, but there was occasional "digital distortion" in the center channel. This happens in many DVDs when the producer disregards the dolby standard and exceeds Established levels. Your DVD player will not disregard these standards and will clip anything above for theater system protection. I heard the same in some places of Super Speedway. But it was a much better film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a joy ride!
Review: Sit back and enjoy this joy ride from the Wright brothers to the Blue Angels. The video footage is breathtaking. Of course, it isn't as good as on a real IMAX screen but you certainly can't do better on your home screen. Tom Selleck's narration is easy to listen to and soothing, in stark contrast to the excitement you'll feel watching the in-flight footage. This is entertaining, educational and just plain (plane!) fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magic of Flight
Review: The IMAX version of this movie was spectacular. Definately worth viewing on DVD and in the theatre. As always with IMAX films, you can expect the sound and picture to be remarkable.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Barely OK - They Should Release FLYERS Imax Movie Instead
Review: The sound quality (DTS) and some of the action scenes are OK. But the rest of the movie is boring, and the sound track will make you want to vomit!

This same company should release the FLYERS Imax movie, which is a story (not another boring documentary), has better action, and has one of the best sound tracks (Basil Paledouris) that has ever been written.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Better on the IMAX screen
Review: This is a great film to see on the IMAX screen.
It doesn't do it justice on the average TV set.
If you an aviation enthusiast you will like this DVD.
The Blue Angels make Top Gun look like beginners.
The only thing i didn't like was the soundtrack music.
What's with the Hillbilly music?
It should have the music from Top Gun.
If you can , rent this before you decide to buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great film for both kids and adults
Review: This is a wonderful video. We have owned it now for 2 yrs and it has been viewed at least once a week by my now 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter. What a fabulous educational tool. This video helps explain the science behind flight. My son at 3 understood the concepts of yaw, pitch and roll. Interesting for both kids and adults.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unreal!!!
Review: This is the absolute best movie about fighter Jets. The camera work makes you feel as if your are in the cockpit. Currently this is playing on the IMAX screen at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I recommend this to anyone who is fascinated by flying.
