Just got this on the Piper list:
This movie looks great! I have a strong suspicion it won't really be shown at a theater near ME, unless it goes to Imax theaters. It looks to be a vanity project with some strong backers. Good for them! All airports should have such good support.
Meigs could have used it. Like VNY, Meigs (well, the lakefront) was Chicago's FIRST airport.
If you'd like to see some other great high def movies with flying scenes, there are two or more Imax movies that have great flyingfootage. I own "The Magic of Flight" which I first saw at the Cradle of Aviation Museum at on Long Island. Now that I think of it, having incomparable history behind it didn't stop THAT airport, Roosevelt Field - the site where Lindy left for Paris - from being turned into a mall.
I caught that one and "Stormchasers" on INHD2 on Comcast HD. "The Magic of Flight" put the Imax cameras on the Thunderbirds. At the beginning you fly in a red RV6. It has nice stuff on the theory of flying with animations and how it started with the Wright Brothers. It's a goodie to give to your non-flying friends. This Onesixright looks to be another one.
Stormchasers has the Imax camera on a GLIDER seeking out lightning at over 17,000 feet! It also has a good explanation of how thunderstorms and tornadoes are formed.
