You did it again, World air routes, a great presentation of the A330. Too bad VG airlines does not exist anymore.

The
VG program was a truly excellent program. Our approaches
into LAX were amazing showing us the density of that
airspace and the thing that made this DVD was the night
approach into Boston Logan for Rwy 27 with the city in the
background. It was truly fascinating. I was impressed at
how young the crew looked for the flight from Boston to
Brussels considering they were flying the A330. Another
good feature of this program was when we were at JFK waiting
to depart for Boston and we got some nice shots of aircraft
departing right by us. I believe another good reason for
getting this DVD is that the airline ceased operations
making it a nostalgic collector's item. Jeff

Great
job for this DVD!! The Airbus 330-200 is truly a beautiful
lady. Is just very sad the fact VG has been one more
victim of modern concept of short living airlines like many
others. Anyway, we enjoy flying and WAR is there to
take us to the air with lovely DVDs. Thanks!!! Renato

The
whole DVD is nice! Especially the Brussels to Los Angeles
flight. I liked the shots outside, the moving map, and the
airport shots outside(Especially Las Vegas and the United
777 taking off). I enjoyed the DVD!

One
word for this DVD is Great!!! The sound and picture quality
is just so good. The aircraft walkaround at BRU and the
take-off at Boston is just the best. It contains all of the
pre-departure checklists and Captain's speech. This video
would have to be one of the best so far. 10 out of 10 WAR.
This is my 4th, but not my last. Matthew

A
stunning DVD, the taxi and take-off out of JFK gave me the
chills. Breathtaking images with that skyline of NY in the
setting sun, that in combination with the nice effect of all
those wide-bodies with their strobe and anti-collision
lights and their engines roaring, rolling past the VG
A330s cockpit at the holding point. Also very nice and
recogniseable images of the harbour of Antwerp and its
nuclear powerplant. A very nice plane that is filmed
excellent in this DVD. Bart

The VG Airlines dvd is one of the best in the World Air
Routes series! and especially nice presentation of the A330
with a detailed walkaround to show the external features of
this magnificent airplane. The nonstop flight from Brussels
to Los Angeles features spectacular scenery of Greenland,
northeastern Canada and the western United States in clear
weather. The evening flights from JFK to Boston and from
Boston to Brussels are equally impressive with fantastic
views of operations at JFK and loud & clear ATC. The
extensive preflight preparations and checklists for Boston
to Brussels add a lot to an excellent program which includes
some very nice shots of the cabin and the view from the
cabin windows. World Air Routes is the best! Please keep
them coming! Greg

A friend of mine recommended this DVD and I have to admit:
this is a DVD you must have! After I saw the whole DVD I
just wanted to see it again, especially the JFK - Boston
part. Also the outside cockpit views on the different
airports and in the air were great. Remarkable is the
clear ATC communication. VG Airlines A330-200 is DVD you
can't miss in your collection! Keep up the good work! Marcel

I just recived the VG airlines DVD a few days ago and I
really enjoyed it. My favorite part was the takeoff from
JFK. Also liked the cabinscenes. Sid
Basu , USA
After just playing this dvd I got goosebumps after seeing
the stretch from New York JFK to Boston at dusk/night! That
was the best part I have seen so far! The view from the
cockpit on the departure queu at JFK is beautifull! It is
also really interesting to see the crews 'wrestle' with the
taxiways on the airports. The conclusion is that this tape
shows you three breathtaking flights with great scenery and
good and clear ATC communication. Only too bad that the
ETOPS explanation is relativly short. But don't
let this stop you from getting this VG Airlines
DVD.

Great DVD, with an interesting look at the advanced
A330. Greg
Schneider, CANADA
A terrific job with good cockpit and cabin shots. It is
always a good when you show what is going on inside the
cabin as well as the cockpit. Keep up the good work, I will
look forward to Aurigny. Michael
Bowman, USA
I enjoyed your VG Airlines DVD, the approach into Boston was
stunning at night and the best, excellent look at the A330
Panel. Any chances of releasing DVDs weekly? (they are so
good), keep up the work. Adam

This is an excellent dvd. Nice cockpit presentation and
great night scenery. I'm looking forward to your next
program. Thanks to all the crews and film makers.

Although one of the shorter running times among the vast
World Air Routes assortment available (clocking in at 96
minutes), the VG Airlines Airbus A330 program is well worth
the money and the time spent watching this great twin-jet
being prepared for the three flights presented on the DVD.
The 11-hour-plus flight from Brussels to Los Angeles is a
top-notch chapter, with fine scenery and frequent updates on
the progress of the flight via the aircraft's TV monitoring
system. The taxiing after landing at LAX gives the viewer a
good idea of what it's like to move about on the taxiways of
an extremely busy U.S. aerodrome! Although it's a relatively
short distance to our A330's gate assignment, we're still
treated to some nice footage of the various Jumbos that are
constantly pounding the pavement and pressing for space at
LAX. I wish the taxi segment could have been longer, but it
was still long enough for the viewer to digest the feverish
amount of activity that is ever-present on those LAX
tarmacs. Major U.S. airports are just about unrivaled for
their breakneck pace of airline operations. It's fascinating
to watch the amazing coordination and timing that is
employed by ATC controllers in getting these massive birds
in the air, one after the other. Another fine example of
busy ground operations is evident in this VG program's
JFK-to-BOS chapter. I thoroughly enjoy watching segments
like this, where the aircraft we're flying is shown
progressing through a long queue of planes. Our A330 is in
line behind a number of heavies while awaiting departure
from JFK's very bumpy active runway! And this is a beautiful
"at dusk" takeoff for Logan in Boston as well, making the
scenery all the prettier! Our final flight features a
non-stop run on A330 "OO-SFR" from Boston back to Brussels.
I've grown to love the Airbus A330, and it's nice to see
that Just Planes has now produced several different programs
highlighting this gorgeous airplane.
Lest I forget to mention the very nice musical intro for
this VG program. Excellent choice. Plus a nice full and
robust-sounding Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo soundtrack (as is
the case with all the World Air Routes DVDs). I've noticed
that all of the Just Planes programs are encoded with 2.0
soundtracks that are transferred to the DVDs at a much
higher volume than almost any other DVD products you're
likely to find on the market today. Which I like very much!
You don't have to crank the volume up to 7 or 8 (out of 10)
just to hear the action. Just Planes DVDs are much LOUDER
than nearly any movie I have on DVD, which is especially
nice for the action sequences on the JPV Airport Series of
DVDs! Believe me, you won't want to crank your stereo to
"max." on those programs, or you'll find yourself making a
trip to the store to replace your blown-out speakers!
I must also make mention of the very tasteful and
well-designed DVD Menus on ALL of JPV's DVD products! Very
simple and to the point, without all the irritating music
blasting at you each time you hit the "Menu" button, which
can be very annoying after a while. JPV's menus are
"silent", which I like, with nicely-designed "underlayed"
images to spice up the Main Menu on each DVD. Kudos on the
Menu designs!
Overall, I'd say this VG Airlines A330 program is one of my
favorites in the continued excellent World Air Routes
series! I'd highly recommend it, or any of the other many
Just Planes products. David
