i was very excited about watching this, but to my disapointment, there is no real sound, except the clasical music, which isn't bad if you like that sort of thing. the footage is great, but if your like me with a loud surround sound system and want to hear the jets screaming overhead and scaring your neighbors into thinking there under attack by a flight of f-15s, dont buy! if you like to just watch and listen to somewhat relaxing music, then by all means, go for it!

I too enjoy the sound of 50,000 pounds of thrust screaming withthe afterburner lit. Unfortunately you will only hear one fly byduring the intro of the DVD. The music, while well performed is almost too restful, especially when you see an aviator sitting in the cockpit of an aircraft capable of Mach 2.5. The video quality was a little grainy, mainly because a lot of the footage was shot a long time ago.While some shots were quite unique, most were right from Discover Wings. This is "nice" for your aviation collection but not the edge of your seat DVD you might be expecting.

I don't understand the negative reviews, because people didn't read the product description. It does say that the footage is accompanying with an original score. I find both footage and music appealing. I love the afterburner assisted take off with the rear view camera as the ground disappears in a matter of seconds. And the side by side shot of the SR-71 and U-2 is pretty cool. You are in the cockpit as the pilot pulls off a few aerial maneuvers. If you don't care for the soundtrack/score, i suggest you turn the volume down and put on your own music. But you cannot deny the top notch footage. I know people would want to hear the roar of the engine and it would be cool in surround sound, but you have to understand that this was produced before surround sound got popular. I had this originally for a laserdisc player and I always enjoy the mixture of music and video.

So if you like flying, buy this and kick back and enjoy!
