Well, that was a fantastic evening! I even got to see some aircraft I hadn't seen before.
This is a documentary (with no narrator) that features pilots (male and female), ATC, and others associated with Van Nuys Airport- from day one! Lots of flying sequences and fantastic photography and musical score. Bob Hoover, Clay Lacey, and others. Lots of good stories, not one of those typical "talking head" documentaries. All the interviews were done first, without a script, and were then woven into a story about general aviation- including lots of warbirds!
There was even a Q&A session with the directors and producers.
My wife loved it!
All the planes below (and then some) were featured flyers in the documentary.

Lighting was challenging (of course I say that for my daylight photos too), so I had to do a little Photoshopping.
