Squawk 1200: Tales From the Air

Rating:
Summary: A must have for pilots or aviation enthusiasts.
Review: If you have a pilots license or even working your way towards one, as I'm doing, you'll enjoy this dvd.
Each segment is really informative, interesting and just plain fun to watch. Not only is it suitable for the whole family but the kids actually seemed to enjoy watching it too. Some breathtaking shots will impress you. Hats off to the camera man for getting into an ultra-light!

Summary: Aviation Video Review (DVD)
Review: The aviation dvd "Squawk 1200: Tales From the Air" is a worthwhile purchase. The reporter/pilot Andrew Schmertz covers several interesting stories related to flying. I particularly enjoyed the ultralight story, where a guy has a giant fan strapped to his back and is practically asking to be injured. A close second would be the remote control segment which not only highlights cool RC jets, but the whackos who have devoted their lives to the sport to the point of almost losing their families and bank accounts. Andrew tells his stories with a hint of Dennis Miller type sarcasm, but doesn't get in the way of all the great footage.
Having seen quite a few aviation videos, I would recommend this DVD. -Jon
