Review of Airbourne - A Mix of Vintage Commercial Restoration and Blimps DVD

In the late fifties aviation was beginning the transformation from props to jets. Visit the observation deck to view one of the first TWA 707s, along with several carriers since merged or vanished. Fly in a restored Constellation once owned by John Travolta. Hear from a WWII B-17 ball turret gunner. Soar slowly over northeastern Ohio aboard the Goodyear blimp "Spirit of Akron".
Learn how Next Generation fuselages are assembled in Wichita, KS and transported by rail to Renton, WA where final stages are viewed. Join the captain of an older 737 as we descend into Buenos Aries. A Boeing publicity short takes you on a first flight to Seattle above Mt. Rainier. Then, take in landscapes arctic to tropical as an inducement for you to request a window seat on your next flight!
