Summary: Moving & inspiring
Comment: If you've ever dreamed of flying, if you know someone who's a pilot, or if you're a pilot yourself, you MUST see this movie. It's really a love story -- between the pilots and their airplanes, between fathers and their sons (and daughters) who followed their dreams, and between a community and its airport, in this case VNY, Van Nuys Airport in California. The history of the airport parallels that of general aviation in this country, and it is this history that the movie seeks to tell. Although there are some famous names in the credits, they are not the stars -- and refreshingly, Brian Terwilliger treats them with no more (but no less) honor than the other less famous pilots featured in the film.
It is clear that Terwilliger is passionate about his subject -- everything about the film shows a loving admiration for the men and women who lived the history of aviation in this country and in Southern California. The cinematography is simply spectacular, and the sweeping score adds to the breathtaking aerial shots. The film's message is clear from the beginning: general aviation, and general aviation airports, are national treasures we should all work to preserve.
Recommended without any reservations whatsoever.

Summary: I was pleasantly surprised
Comment: While channel surfing I came across this program. I remembered my daughter, who lives in Woodland Hills California, told me she drives her car to the Van Nuys airport to park for a fraction of the price she would be charged at LAX. The program was already around a half hour in progress and caught my attention. I found another date where the program was broadcast and recorded it on the DVR. Rather than take up space on a temporary recording medium, it only made sense to own the DVD.
The photography is wonderful, the interviews are extremely interesting. The information on the disappearance of general aviation airports is sitmulating -- I especially enjoyed the expose' of what Mayor Daly had done to the Chicago lakeside airport -- almost criminal.
Beyond the spectacular photography, the music is also memorable. I haven't purchased the music CD yet, but I just might.

Summary: Not quite what I expected
Comment: I purchased this in hopes it would tell more about current general aviation rather than a history lesson. While it was still mostly enjoyable to watch, it seemed more like something that you would watch on the History channel.

Summary: A beautiful piece of videography
Comment: I bought this video after seeing the preview on the website and I wasn't disappointed. I must say I hadn't realised it was an expose of Van Nuys Airport however there's enough info of a general nature to make it appeal to all. What was really impressive was the cinematography that takes you on a journey of aircraft and flying from angles never seen before. To sit just off the tail of a DC3 on landing was just wonderful. The music takes you away also. If you're a plane buff and especially a pilot, this is a must see.

Summary: One Six Right
Comment: As an aviation fanatic, I obviously enjoy anything aviation related. One Six Right was a very entertaining video. Anyone who has flown out of Van Nuys in particular, would enjoy the airport's history. I would have enjoyed more flying from the pilots perspective, however anyone with a facination with aviation would enjoy this video.
