I Grew Up in the Flight Path
- By Dave from San Luis Obispo CA USA on Wednesday, September 10, 2014
- Pros: everything
- Cons: none
- Review: I've been looking for a DVD of this since I saw it on Discovery several years ago. I grew up watching (and hearing) the C-97s, C-130s, and U2s flying in and out of Van Nuys Airport, along with all the private planes and this film shows so much of that plus the history of the busiest private airport in there USA. The film his very well made and a must for anyone interested in smaller airports.

The perfect thing for those who have a love for flying
- By David from Yorba Linda CA USA on Monday, February 14, 2011
- Pros: Fantastic presentation, stories and history about flight
- Cons: Not for everyone - Only for those with a passion for flight
- Review:
I once had purchased this movie via itunes, however I could only view it on my computer and wanted to share it with others. I have always had a passion for flight as did my older brother. As an avid private pilot and worked in the professional video industry, this movie had a special place in his heart. While cancer took him from us, this movie reminds me of his passion as this movie is about keeping the dream of flight alive.

Flying is My Passion, So I Loved One Six Right
- By Dave-61 and still flying from Broomfield CO USA on Tuesday, June 09, 2015
- Review:
Fantastic, it clearly exceeded my expectations. I also have the companion DVD One Six Left which explains the filming and more details.
The flight scenes in the air are unequaled in quality and beauty, composition! The musical score was superb!
I think pilot stories are really important and perhaps to have some of those go into more detail or be re-enacted would be fun to see and hear.
I like the way this DVD really presented the General Aviation story of how important GA is to the local economies and why airports are important.
Of course I am a pilot, so I could watch airplanes all day long, but I would bet some of the viewers were bored by long flight scenes with music.
The scenes with real actors that are also pilots were also very interesting and I bet they have some stories. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 26 Other people found this review helpful.

An Excellent Video on General Aviation
- By A Customer from Greeley CO USA on Tuesday, June 23, 2015
- Pros: If you love General Aviation - this video is for you!
- Cons: None
- Review: As an Aerospace Education instructor, I use this video to instruct my students about General Aviation. I like the pilot interviews where they briefly describe how they got started in aviation. The film is professional-quality and very informative about the history of General Aviation and the challenges it faces today.

- By Mike from Brownsburg IN USA on Thursday, April 01, 2010
- Pros: For once an airplane movie without the glitz of Hollywood. Just the truth
- Cons: Too short
- Review: A pilots story/film. With a mix of no name people to incredible people, the film had it all. Have viewed it 4 times since purchased and still loved watching it. Watched it with my 87 year old father who was a P-51 pilot in WWII. It brought tears to his eyes.

Made me want to go flying
- By debbie from danville VA USA on Monday, January 10, 2011
- Pros: It was right on!! Beautiful film and music. Watched it 3 times first time.
- Cons: It was over too soon-Could have watched for hours
- Review: Wow - Gave this to my husband for Christmas. He so appreciated the story of the growth of Van Nuys and understood the demise of other small ports. We live on the east coast and have seen so many small ports go by the wayside. My husband flew with his dad back in the late 30s and 40s and began flying himself in the 50s. Became an IA and his business was almost all taildraggers. We love door-off flying, wind in your face and boy this really was a part of this film. The thrill of learning and the solo ride. I thought my husband was going to cry and maybe he did hide a tear or two from me. He is restricted to LSA now. But he is still flying. And yes, he always takes me too! Thanks for all of the beautiful film.

- Pros: Quality of in flight video is exceptional. Sincerity of presenters. No hype, just the facts.

- Review: This is a nice upgrade of the previously issued DVD by the same title. One or more of the characters who made brief presentations were known to me, esp. John O'Crowley, now deceased. I have flown a Piper J-3 from 16 R and landed on 16 L, so it was nostalgic, to say the least. The message is clear-"SAVE OUR GENERAL AVIATION FACILITIES OR THEY'RE SOON GONE"

- By John F. Comeau from Torrance CA USA on Monday, October 12, 2009
- Pros: Music and cinematographry
- Cons: none
- Review: I saw this first on PBS coming to it with only minor interest because I'd lived near Van Nuys airport. I was blown awy by the beauty and romance of the cinematography and music. It transported me into all those cockpits but more over sparked deep emotions about the wonder of flight. It awoke the child within me. I bought it because I knew I had to watch it many times.

- Pros: Aerial photography is spectacular and the soundtrack is quite enjoyable.
- Cons: Wished it was longer
- Review: I am not a pilot, and am quite surprised how much both my wife and I enjoyed this documentary. This documentary is really quite interesting. The video gives a glimpse into the history of possibly the most famous general aviation airport in the U.S., the Van Nuys Airport. Surprised how scarce they are becoming. Enjoyed hearing the pilots, retired from flying, telling their stories. Got a chuckle from the term "hangar pilots".

- Pros: Excellent
- Cons: None
- Review: I first saw part of this story on PB. Later recommended by a pilot friend of mine. I am very glad I purchased the DVD. I have shown it to many of my friends that are not pilots and they thought it was great. It is a very important message why we can not allow the small airports to be closed down. People have to stop moving next to airports then start complaining about the noise.

If you don't fly, this should make you want to learn!
- By Phil Pool from West Burlington IA USA on Thursday, September 10, 2009
- Pros: Very entertaining, with lots of info about VNY airport and many great tales of it's past pilots and their remembrances.
- Cons: Wasn't long enough! I would have enjoyed at least another 30 minutes and would have tried to interview Harrison Ford, a HUGE flying advocate
- Review: I started flying in 1976 and it was at VNY. I moved to Iowa 5 yrs. ago from S. CA. and never owning a plane, this movie got me pysched to want a plane. I've always rented, but hadn't flown in almost a dozen years. Watching this movie, the production value, the music and the professional 'look' was very inspiring. Knowing the many circuits I've taken there, touch and go's, flying in the busy S. CA. basin, it brought it all back! The history of VNY was something I didn't know, and it was very intriguing. I had a personal friend who flew a Lear for Clay Lacy and got to ride in one once from VNY to Fox Field in Lancaster, CA. What an aircraft! Hearing Clay's story was also quite interesting. In the 26 yrs. I lived in S. CA., VNY had a lot of changes. The biggest was when the Air National Guard moved their base of C-130's to Pt. Magu. I was sad, because it was always exciting to be sharing your approach with sometimes six C-130's coming back from a training mission. There was NEVER a 'dull' moment at VNY! One Six Right is inspirational and if anybody is thinking about learning to fly, this should push them over the edge. I highly recommend it for anyone.

Thank you so much for the quick and correct service
- By Marilee from Las Vegas, NV on Monday, May 04, 2009
- Review: I wanted to thank you so much for the quick and correct service on the onesixright and left dvds and music and the Hot Wings planes I ordered last week and just now received. I will be recommending your website to others. I only wish my Father (who passed away last year) could have seen this dvd and enjoyed these planes with my grandson. My dad served in the Air Force and the Navy, was an airframe and power plant mechanic, was the head mechanic for the world record (fueling from the ground to the plane) endurance flight here in Las Vegas (Hacienda plane is hanging in the Las Vegas terminal), built and flew model airplanes since he was young, kept his pilot's license his whole life, and truly loved planes and aviation. Thank you again. In memory of Irving C. Kuenzi....

- Pros: It's almost like listening to Dad talk. Fabulous.

- Review: I originally purchased this to become familiar with Brian Terwilliger because he was at an event I was attending this July. I am not a pilot myself but a daugther of a pilot. I have been surrounded by planes and pilots all my life and I know that certain "something" you see in a pilots eyes when they talk about all things aviation. This documentary does that to even us non pilots. I've watched it several times now.

- By Ed Brown from Bakersfield, CA on Thursday, February 08, 2007
- Pros: Wonderfully informative and emotionally uplifting.

- Review: I loved this video. My reasons for being a pilot are all summed up in the stories on "One Six Right". My Father meant the world to me but I didn't realize it until he was gone. He never got to complete his pilot training back in the 1953. I can only hope to honor his memory in some small way by becoming a pilot.

- Cons: None
- Review: Depiction of Van Nuys Airport is a DVD to savor. It is the kind of airport everyone would like to fly out of. And if you're over-the-hill like I am, it is an old pilots dream just to go and watch. It is a dying breed. If scheduled carriers were flying into Van Nuys, the little guys would be shooed away. Movie producers have captured the spirit and aura of Van Nuys. Thank you producers for giving an old pilot immortal words, "Runway 16 Right, Cleared to land."

A Wonderful Bit of Mine and the Valley's History
- By Michael from Las Vegas NV USA on Saturday, May 31, 2008
- Pros: Great History, Great flying scenes. Wonderful interviews.
- Cons: Not long enough! Should be offered in Blu-Ray
- Review: I moved to the San Fernando Valley in 1961 at the ripe old age of 12. Soon I was riding my bicycle to Van Nuys airport as often as possible to watch the planes take off, taxi and land. I would also sneak into a FBO on the east side of the airport that had an old decomposing P-63. I would sit in it all day long and work the controls (the canopy, instruments and control surfaces were long gone). Van Nuys was much less formal then and I could watch the C-97's take off and land to my heart's content. In 1963, my brother got his private pilot license from Skyways (at the northwest corner)and my very first flight in an airplane was off of 16R with him to Catalina. Even though I learned to fly at Santa Monica 10 years later and I now live in Las Vegas, Van Nuys is still my home field and "16R" captures all of my early aviation memories. I loved the history and the interviews with all the people who felt the same way I do about Van Nuys. I just wish the video was longer.

- By Wingman-Hang Glider Pilot-1000 hours in GA from Kansas City (Roeland Park) on Thursday, February 08, 2007
- Pros: The dynamic footage with CA and the mountains as the backdrop. The diversity of the airplanes. The stories from the pilots themselves, well except for Lorenzo Lamas!
- Cons: Needed more natural sound. Many pilots will recognise a plane by the sound of it's engine!
- Review: The visuals are just what you would expect, breathtaking, clear, colorful and exciting. There were shots that were from angles only another pilot would get flying in and around the other aircraft. I would like to make Van Nuys Airport a destination now in future travels just to hang out and see what happens, who lands and what they fly. The historical perspective for me, parallels my own journey into the past and the introduction that I was given as a child to the world of aviation.
