I live in the same town the Blues call home so I have seen this numerous times. Every time I have viewed I am even more in awe of how these men and machines perform!
Until this order I have only viewed Magic of Flight via IMAX. I ordered this as a Father's Day gift for for my dad, a naval aviator. I expected to be somewhat disappointed as only having seen on the IMAX but that wasn't the case at all! The footage is just as excellent on a small screnn.
This is a classic for all interested in flight. Dad says he might watch it every night. It's especially nice to watch him watch and relive his life's work.
Shipping was fast and the product was well packed.

My 5, 3, and even 1-year-old love this movie. It's a fun way to learn about jets and airplanes and be entertained at the same time.

Excellent aviation DVD! The only reason for not rating it higher, is I've seen the "Blue Angel" segment previously on another TV program.

"The Magic of Flight" was originally released in IMAX theatres, and would certainly have been impressive to see on the (very) big screen. The production, narrated by the mellifluous Tom Selleck, is a visual feast, and traces the evolution of powered flight from the Wright brothers to the Blue Angels. The tidbits of history are interesting, but it is clear from the outset that the stars of the show are the Blue Angels.
The film is short (about 39 minutes), as are most IMAX releases, but is generally well-paced and captivating. I found a few of the trails the director went down to be a distraction from the central theme of the film (e.g. showing some of the members of the Blue Angels lifting weights and running to stay in shape, etc.), especially with this short of a running time. The interviews with pilots were generally good, but they frequently devolved into platitudes about "being born to fly" and "being at one with the aircraft", etc. Perhaps, though, I am bit hypercritical of this aspect as a longtime airline (and former Air Force) pilot: it's not that the interview segments are bad, they're just very bland and homogenous.
Overall, I thought this was a very strong effort and well worth the money if you are interested in high performance flying.
