Modern Marvels: Air Shows

For any American who ever attended an air show and marveled at the precision flying of the pilots who risk life and limb in order to pull of some of the most impressive air stunts ever attempted, this documentary offers the rare opportunity to climb into the cockpit and learn about the regulatory agencies that work around the clock to keep spectators safe. A look at the technology and remarkable skills needed to put on such a breathtaking show highlights how pilots are now capable of performing stunts that were once thought impossible, while discussions with the promoters and organizers responsible for readying the shows reveal just how much work goes into making it all run smoothly. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
