Aviation: The Invisible Highway Trailer

A stunning trailer has just been released for a documentary that will be coming out next year, entitled “Aviation: The Invisible Highway.”

Via Vimeo:

What an absolutely gorgeous video that captures what I think has most of us obsessed with this hobby. As much as I write about caviar and Krug and good service and comfortable duvets and rubber ducks, at the end of the day that’s not what I truly love about flying.

It’s the miracle of flight that still has me hooked. Even millions of miles later, I still gaze at airplanes and airports the same way as I did the first day they caught my attention.

I still can’t help but have a huge smile on my face every time I enter the arrivals hall of a foreign airport and see so many people waiting for loved ones with signs, balloons, groups of people, etc., even if there’s no one waiting for me.

I can’t help but be in awe every time I look at the departures board at a major airport and see that there are literally flights to five continents departing within hours of one another.

Departures-Board-LAX

The world is beautiful, amazing, and terrifying all at once, and really it’s airplanes that bridge the gap. And they don’t just bridge places, but more importantly people and stories.

Can’t wait for the documentary, looks like the ultimate #AvGeek porn!

In case anybody still stumbles upon this old post (like myself), I wanted to mention that the documentary was eventually released with a different title: "Living in the Age of Airplanes" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3915966/

Can't wait for the film thanks for the heads up! While I travel solo for the most part, I smile every time I see groups at the airport waiting for friends/family agree with you that it's awesome. That I can be in London the in the morning for breakfast with friends and home same day for dinner with family - amazing and grateful.

the trailer is beautiful, and i love that m83 is used for the music. it always amazes me that airports are this place where almost everyone is going and will soon be somewhere else, but for that moment, you are in the same space.
