 Capturing the Skies. November 3, 2009
Owen P. Zupp (Australia)
Sometimes in these busy times the romance of aviation can be forgotten and we need to be reminded of the sheer joy that can be derived from the amazing experience of flight.
One of the greatest examples of capturing the pure essence of flight can be found in the film, "One Six Right" by Terwilliger Productions. Set at the amazing Van Nuys Airport, the film absorbs the vast diversity of personalities and aviation hardware that constitute such an airfield. Narrated in the words of aviators and set to an emotive soundtrack, the film footage is nothing short of spectacular. From biplanes with beautiful backdrops to passes by glistening Mustangs, this film brings the three dimensions of the sky into the world of one and all; not just those privileged to take to the skies.
Through vision, words and music, "One Six Right" reminds us all why the sky is such a special place.

I bought this as a gift. I was told it was a good video.
 A compelling story for the preservation of general aviation October 13, 2009
Paul Esler (Sydney)
One Six Right tells the history of Van Nuys Airport in California, which is really a microcosm of the overall history of general aviation in America. The photography is beautiful and the flying scenes are inspirational. The many stories from those involved in general aviation and Van Nuys airport, provide a compelling human touch to the journey. The message is clear: we need to preserve these small airports as they provide the infrastructure and community for fostering the early stages of one's aviation career. All pilots, regardless of their level of skill, experience or type of aircraft flown, begin their training at an airport just like Van Nuys. If they disappear, as is happening all over the world as the demands for housing, shopping malls and industrial land take over, so too will our ability to train new pilots.
It should be noted that this is more a story about an airport itself than a story about flying. There are plenty of flying scenes, but the bulk of the story is devoted to the airport and its long and rich history. Watching the early stages of the documentary, particularly the stories about the combination of fear and exhilaration of 1st solos, certainly evoked fond memories of my own experiences learning to fly. However, I felt that the momentum of these emotions was somewhat lost when the story turned to the history of the airport. Quite a large chunk of the running time is devoted to this story, and I felt it distracted slightly from the excitement I experienced at the beginning of the movie. Perhaps more time could have been devoted to looking in detail at some of the wonderful aircraft that are stored at the airport, or some footage and explanation about actually flying an aircraft. Some of the aircraft were simply beautiful, and it would have been more interesting for me to have known more about them and the people who fly them.

Ronald Devlin (Hilton Head Island, SC USA)
I SAW THIS ON A PBS BROADCAST HERE ON THE EAST COAST ABOUT A MONTH BACK. THE VAN
NUYS AIRPORT AND VALLEY PILOTS IN PERTIQULAR ARE MY SECOND ALMA MATRE SO THE DVD
IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT TO ME. HISTORICALLY IT IS AN UNPARALELLED PRODUCTION BUT IT
ALSO CONTAINS PLENTY OF VINTAGE EYE CANDY. NOTABLY THE RED BIPLANE WAS USUALLY IN
THE EAST END OF THE VALLEY WHEN I WAS HEADING TO THE HIGH DESERT. THIS IS A GREAT
PRESENTATION ON THE PLIGHT OF GENERAL AVIATION FRAMED IN THE HISTORY OF VAN NUYS
AIRPORT. I BOUGHT BOTH ONE SIX RIGHT AND ONE SIX LEFT THE COMPANION DVD WHICH
SHOWS THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS PROJECT COMPLETED. HAVING FLOWN OUT OF VNY I
WAS CURIOUS AS TO HOW THE CLEARANCES WERE OBTAINED TO GET SOME OF THE SHOTS; IN
PERTIQULAR THE VINTACE CONTINENTAL D/C ON FINAL APPROACH AS WELL AS HOW A $[...] STOOL
FROM HOME DEPOT IS WORHT 250 K. TERWILLAGER PRODUCTIONS MUST BE COMMENDED FOR A FABULOUS PRODUCTION. I THOUGHT THAT THAT PART OF MY LIFE WAS CLOSED UNTIL I VIEWED THIS PRODUCTION; I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES FOR MOST OF IT-SEE TRAILER [...]
