Review ------ If you have ever seen the Worldairroutes Swiss MD-11 DVD, you might remember a very friendly Captain named Thomas Frick. In this DVD, Capt Frick is now a captain onboard the A340 and we join him and his crew on an amazing and eventful journey to Shanghai. After a brief introductory video featuring the A340, we join the crew in the cockpit as they prepare for their departure. After departing, all things seem to go smoothly until the Capt relates what happened a few months earlier as PilotsEYE made its first attempt to film the very same flight. Some months earlier PilotsEYE captured a very rare clip of the pilots having to shut down an engine which was showing very high oil temperatures, forcing it to return to Zurich. During this emergency it was impressive to see how well composed and professional the flight crew acted. Other highlights from this flight included some very humorous portions where someone over the radio flirts with Capt Frick s female First Officer Manuela Durussel. Capt Frick also relates a humorous incident which was due to a language barrier that I think many of you will find very funny. The final highlight before the return flight is a spectacular tour of Shanghai that I think everyone will enjoy and it may even stir your desire to visit this intriguing country in the future. Overall this is a fantastic DVD and it is a definite must have from the PilotEYE collection. |::| While these DVD s are in foreign languages, subtitles are provided in English, German and French. It may seem inconvenient having to read subtitles in order to understand what s going on but it really isn t as inconvenient as it may seem. I thought that the editing of these videos was second to none and what made it even more impressive, was the fact that there were camera views from the ground for takeoff and landings. Cameras were also present in the control tower which captured the Air Traffic Controllers as they communicated with the aircraft. The prices of these DVDs are 29.90 Euros and for what you are getting, I would say it is a very fair price. The overall presentation of these DVDs give you the impression that a major filming company spend months filming and editing to create what I think is the most unique and innovation aviation documentary to date. If you have never seen an aviation documentary before, I would definitely recommend PilotsEYE. What I Like About the DVDs Breathtaking scenery Stunning and Creative editing Features very unique destinations and aircrafts HD format. Numerous Cameras give a thrilling and unique perspective to the viewers of what goes on in the cockpit What I Don't Like About the DVDs Nothing.... --avsim.net M Carter
