"One Six Right" is an exhilarating documentary film that celebrates
the unsung hero of aviation – the local airport – by tracing the life,
history, and struggles of an airport icon: Southern California’s Van
Nuys Airport. Featuring thrilling aerial photography and a sweeping
original score, the film dispels common misconceptions and
opposes criticism of General Aviation airports. Through the love
story of one airport, past to present, the film shares the timeless
romance of flying with all ages.
The film takes viewers on a journey of spectacular aerial sequences
and tells a romantic story through the accounts of passionate pilots,
air traffic controllers, historians and flight enthusiasts, including
well-known faces such as Sydney Pollack, Lorenzo Lamas, Paul
Moyer, Hal Fishman and many others. There is no
off-screen
narrator.
The film uncovers the rich history of this airport – Amelia Earhart
broke a world speed record over its runways, Marilyn Monroe was
discovered while working in its hangars, and scenes from
Casablanca were filmed on its grounds. Almost every type of aircraft
has graced its runways, from the primitive airplanes of the 1920’s to
the state-of-the-art business jets of today. Through the history of the
Van Nuys Airport (VNY), the viewer comes to have a new
appreciation for the significance of all General Aviation airports as a
critical component of the communities they serve. Located in the
heart of the San Fernando Valley, VNY is today the world's busiest
General Aviation airport and contributes over $1 billion each year to
the Southern
California economy.
“One Six Right†explores common misconceptions about General
Aviation airports, which are often criticized for noise pollution and
viewed as exclusive playgrounds for the rich. The film creates an
awareness of the threat to these community airports through
staggering statistics of airports that no longer exist, and the
rapid
rate at which they are continuing to close (1 per week in the U.S.).
Airports are not a renewable resource – these smaller and often
forgotten airports are the foundation of the entire aviation industry,
contributing significantly to global commerce and are the breeding
ground of the pilots of tomorrow.
