    Thought it would show video footage, but it did not. DVD just showed a bunch of still photos - hardly the experience of flying.

    Pros

    As a pilot, and a photographer, I really enjoyed the DVD. Even Mr. Munson's narrative was enjoyable, though the early view of his hotel room - for several minutes - was a little too much.

    Cons

    Could have been even better with some video instead of just still photos.

    General Comments

    watched and enjoyed then passed it along to a friend who has driven Route 66 for years.

    Pros

    I really enjoyed the scenery shown during the author's flight.

    Cons

    I felt that the author went into way too much psycho-babble about his personal life while filiming the wall of his hotel room. It would have been more tolerable had he talked about this while showing more scenery as he was flying along.

    Very informational.

    Cons

    From a highschool students point of view, it was a little boaring. I expected an action filled video of fun views and experiences.

    No offence but its not my favorite video.

    Good "slide show" - photos good quality

    Cons

    Good "slide show" - thought it would be a "video" taken from the plane over the country side, ie on the "move".

    Pros

    Somewhat accurate account of Route 66.

    Cons

    Lacks many of the more familiar landmarks/sites along the route disappointing coverage of many areas. Too many pictures of things not cloesly related to Route 66. Major city attractions fly past way to quickly to be enjoyed.

    Video is very drab -- mostly a combination of still photos, and even those don't capture Route 66 in the way I had hoped they would.

    I was looking for a more 16 Right approach to Route 66 -- if that's what you're after, this video is not for you

    I'll watch anything aviation related. Great Snap Shots.

    Cons

    Not what I was expecting. it's not a motion picture of Flying Route 66. it desperatly needs the first 6 minutes removed. I have an idea that Mr. Munson drove a VW bus with puff the magic dragon in the right seat and flowers on the side in the sixtys.
