Boston - November 29th, 2011

We're fast approaching the final month of our 20th Anniversary and still have one big release due in around 10 days from now. Its a program I've been wanting to do for close to a year now and we took our time putting all the ingredients in place to get it in the best possible conditions for you and I think you will be very happy with the results. In addition I have a nice surprise in store. Some of us weren't really happy with the "Filmed in HD" thats been used for the past year because you really get little to no benefits from filming in HD. DVDs are not HD so there is little to no advantage... but Just Planes as the leader in the production of Aviation/Airline/Airport DVDs will be taking the step to bring you something much better... so keep an eye on our Facebook page for a special announcement next week!

Meanwhile we've been wanting to thank our fans for an amazing 20th year so we came up with this Buy 1 Get 1 FREE sale and picked some great titles so you could complete your cockpit collection!  Our warehouse is jam-packed right now working hard on getting your orders out. Right now the sale goes through Thursday evening but we are considering extending it another week... again details will be posted on our Facebook page.

 

New Programs

Concluding a year of filming on the Air Canada A330-300 I'm happy to bring you another top program in which you can see the results of all the technology we've added to our equipment this past year. Take a moment to check out the Video Trailer on You Tube and see all the angles we're able to bring to you thanks to the use of 5 cameras on this project!

Started more than a year ago with Toronto-Frankfurt and Munich-Toronto flights I wasn't satisfied and wanted more. We then scheduled more filming for last winter but that didn't work out either...  Most Air Canada A330s fly to either Germany or London, which is virtually impossible to film, I was told the airline would be starting the Toronto-Montreal-Brussels route in June and I was sold on featuring that route in the series, partly because Brussels is always a nice place to fly into and also because I wanted to finally include Montreal in the series. At the time I talked to Captain Paduano and thought he would be a fantastic choice for the program.. and indeed as you will see, he and his copilot did a fantastic job of presenting their A330, the route and everything they could possibly explain on this series of flights. Enjoy our 6th Air Canada program and once again we owe a very big thank you to this great airline for allowing us on board and helping us produce these high level programs!

Our next program (#11) will be here in about 10 days, all I can say is that you are in for another fantastic Cockpit program. A great airplane, a really interesting route and fantastic pilots... resulting in 4 and a half hours of pure aviation cockpit excitement.

Meanwhile I am in the final editing stage of one of our best programs ever (#12)... again 4 and a half hours on a route I picked this summer because I thought it would be interesting... Look for this program to be released sometime in January! After a very short break I plan on starting production on #13 and we have a busy 2012 season planne for you!


VHS to DVD Programs

The Sabena Boeing 747-300 program already made it to DVD a few years ago but as a 3-pack of DVDs which had not been available in a while. Now for the first time we're happy to bring you this great program on its own DVD. It features the airline's B747-300 on the Brussels to Chicago O'Hare route. In addition there is bonus footage on a B737-300 Brussels-Moscow-Brussels route as well as on the B737-500 Brussels-Warsaw-Brussels route. As a special we've been giving away free Sabena postcards that are shipped with your order of Sabena DVDs. They will continue to be sent out while supplies last.


Sold Out Programs

Air A!ps has been sold out for a few years and we're happy to be bringing this program back. You will enjoy some beautiful scenery on flights into Innsbruck and Bolzano as well as flights to the major airports of Amsterdam, Rome and Zurich.
