Abstract
This film shows a man's love for flying and being a pilot. He also touches on student pilots and the process of how to fly a plane.
Description
The film begins with a small plane landing and cuts to a title card and a director credit. The next shot shows a sign for Aretz Airport, followed by many short shots of different small plane models at the airport. In a voiceover, a male narrator says that flying is more than pulling on throttles. He describes his enjoyment of flying with someone and how it is magical to see their reaction and being the pilot. The voiceover continues, accompanied by shots from the point of view of a man taking off in and flying a plane. The voiceover continues, discussing the responsibilities of the pilot as the film image shows a man doing pre-flight checks on a plane before flying. The narrator says it takes a few times for student pilots to get into the routine of preparing an airplane to fly. The film ends with the narrator speaking about his love for flying and hopes that he will love flying for the rest of his life. The plane lands again and the pilot walking back toward the airport.
