Summary: 4 Stars
One Six Right tells the history of Van Nuys Airport in California, which is really a microcosm of the overall history of general aviation in America. The photography is beautiful and the flying scenes are inspirational. The many stories from those involved in general aviation and Van Nuys airport, provide a compelling human touch to the journey. The message is clear: we need to preserve these small airports as they provide the infrastructure and community for fostering the early stages of one's aviation career. All pilots, regardless of their level of skill, experience or type of aircraft flown, begin their training at an airport just like Van Nuys. If they disappear, as is happening all over the world as the demands for housing, shopping malls and industrial land take over, so too will our ability to train new pilots.
It should be noted that this is more a story about an airport itself than a story about flying. There are plenty of flying scenes, but the bulk of the story is devoted to the airport and its long and rich history. Watching the early stages of the documentary, particularly the stories about the combination of fear and exhilaration of 1st solos, certainly evoked fond memories of my own experiences learning to fly. However, I felt that the momentum of these emotions was somewhat lost when the story turned to the history of the airport. Quite a large chunk of the running time is devoted to this story, and I felt it distracted slightly from the excitement I experienced at the beginning of the movie. Perhaps more time could have been devoted to looking in detail at some of the wonderful aircraft that are stored at the airport, or some footage and explanation about actually flying an aircraft. Some of the aircraft were simply beautiful, and it would have been more interesting for me to have known more about them and the people who fly them.
