Living in the Age of AirplanesFilmed in 18 countries across all 7 continents, “Living in the Age of Airplanes” explores the countless ways aviation affects our lives.

Of course, once your guests are bursting with aviation enthusiasm, make sure they remember that without good mechanics, nobody takes off.
