Aviation
Week Two-Pack (Superior Airpower, Ultimate Dogfighting DVD 2 Pack Movie. Amazon.com Superior Airpower The three hour-long programs on Superior Airpower provide a look
at the people and technology that define American airpower in the
modern era. The first program focuses on the role of the aircraft carrier,
and some spectacular footage shot aboard the USS Constellation vividly
illustrates how thousands of crewmen, from the all-powerful "air boss"
to sailors laboring several levels below the flight deck, must carefully
coordinate their efforts to launch and land jet fighters. An informative
segment details the capabilities of all the various planes based on today's
carriers, and of course there is plenty of heart-stopping action footage
of jets taking off and landing. Another program follows the development
of "stealth" aircraft, planes that are virtually invisible to radar, from
the drawing board to deployment over Baghdad in the Gulf War. Interviews
with engineers who labored to make what seemed a far- fetched fantasy into
a very effective airplane provide a glimpse into the shadowy and
super-secret world of designing modern weapons.
Ultimate Dogfighting Ultimate Dog fighting features two complete programs spanning the
entire history of aerial combat. The first program tells virtually the
entire story of fighter aircraft, beginning with the biplanes piloted by
pioneering aces in World War I. Through archival footage and
interviews with veterans, the evolution of fighter planes through the decades
is detailed, and the pivotal role played by fighter pilots in World War
II, the Korean War, and Vietnam is examined. The second program on the
disc gives the viewer a look at the modern training programs for
fighter pilots, with a particular focus on the intense training America
pilots receive in air combat maneuvering (ACM) classes. Great fighter
pilots hone their skills endlessly, and the cameras follow American fighter
jocks who take to the air and engage in mock combat with instructors flying
jets that mimic those of enemy powers. The cameras aboard a modern fighter
provide a pilot's-eye view of the adversary, down to how an enemy jet would
look while in the sights of the advanced electronic weapons system
that would launch an air-to-air missile. These programs are intelligently
assembled and very well photographed, and together they provide an
entertaining and informative look at how fighter planes and tactics have
developed over more than 80 years. --Robert J. McNamara. Price: $21.99
The
Blue Angels, In Pursuit of Excellence (2000) VHS Video. Description Blue Angel pilot #2, Lt.Cdr. Mark Dunleavy says, “There’s nothing
special about me or any of the other Blue Angels- just the job we
get to do is pretty special.”
Now you can see just how they get that “job” done- on the ground
and from inside their cockpits in the air. This behind the scenes
look at the US Navy’s Flight Demonstration Team is a fascinating metaphor
for finding something in life that you care about and then pursuing
it with a passion to do it the best you possibly can.
“I hope that kids who watch this video don’t think this is
something that can’t be attained or that they can’t do, because I guarantee
you we’ve got jobs on this team that every kid in America could do if they
set their minds to it,” Lt.Cdr. Mark Dunleavy, USN. Price: $15.95 ASIN: B00004TKME
