On the Discovery Channel HD there is a 90 minute documentary more or
less about the history of Vanuys Airport in California. It has some
of the most incredible air to air footage I've ever seen. It's well
worth the watch. Phil Boyer amongst others get to talk about General
Aviation and the challenges it is facing due to airports being
closed. We all know the issue well.....

The DVD is available from most Aviation retailers (Sportys, JoePilot,
etc).

While the focus is on Van Nuys, it's a good overview of GA.

You're right -- the air to air work is amazing. There are several
awesome scenes, but the DC-3 on approach to touchdown is my favorite
-- very, very cool.

The companion DVD is ok, but not required.

Would be a good one to lend to those interested in becoming a pilot.

Ordered that CD a couple of days ago after reading the good feedback on
imdb. I'd be interested in any other recommendations of well filmed GA
DVD's.
