Outstanding quality (considering the age of the orginal print). If you have seen Threshold, you know you MUST buy this. If you like aviation, you will love this movie. The Blue Angels flying F-4s. It just does not get any better than that....

5.0 out of 5 stars On DVD at last!, October 13, 2008

This was my favorite aviation documentary for decades, kept my full length VHS pristine since I bought it all those years ago. Ordered this as soon as I saw it was available, I'm anxiously waiting for the DVD to arrive. Only question I have, at one point in Amazon's description it says this is Region Free, and elsewhere it says Region 1. Which is right?

It might finally have been surpassed, check out Speed and Angels, also available from Amazon: Speed and Angels (w/game). Still, if you love aviation and/or the Blue Angels, you Really MUST get this!

UPDATE: this movie is as good as I remember. However, there has been no remastering done. I's the straight movie, no special fetures, not even chapters. The video quality is about what you'd expect from a decent VHS tape. Probably the people who made it possible to be on DVD knew that it would not be a giant seller and worked with the budget they had. Still, this movie is DEFINITELY worth the money! If you like the Blue Angels you Need to get this while it's available.

Amazon no longer sells this directly, but one of the sellers they list is actually the producer of the DVD itself, and appears to be a relative of the person who originally made the documentary. Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars It Brought A Tear To My Eyes, March 16, 2008

Tigger (Hayward, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Threshold the Blue Angels Experience DVD (DVD)

I am overjoyed to see this film finally make it to DVD. I have copies of it from its first release in Beta through the short lived 60 minute version NavAir Films had out years ago. I knew most of those guys and the stories they could tell. The Phantom was the last of the fast heavy iron birds designed in the 50's that proved you could do anything if you had a big enough engine. The old school aerodynamic design had more than a few coffin corners that guaranteed very creative departures from controlled flight in the blink of an eye to those who did not respect her limits and this film showed the best of the best pilots making precision flying look easy in this bird. Until the invention of high speed camera mounts for IMAX, this was always the best film I had ever seen to give non flyers the chance of knowing what it was like to strap on a high performance jet and go blasting around the sky. I do miss the days when Uncle Sugar let me play with the best toys in the world.
