"It's a Jumbo Jet!" How many times have you heard that cry in airport lounges around the world? More than 30 years on, the impact of Boeing's first wide-bodied jetliner still lingers. Filmed from 2000 to 2003, these 90 minutes of superb action video celebrate our continuing amazement that these things actually fly! Shot airside at Gatwick and Manchester, with additional material from Heathrow and Frankfurt, we take you from the 747 Classic and its later variants, to the Boeing 767 and 777. Airbus products start with the A300, the 310 and of course the 330/340 long range jets. Tristar fans, relax they're here, along with the DC10 and MD11.
We actually go inside the third engine of a DC10, mounted high on the tail, for a fan blade check! Beside the runway, on the ramp, around the airports - great locations, stunning shots, superb sound - that's AIRPORT ACTION - BIG JETS
