"Chasing The Sun"

If anyone has seen it, they would know what I'm talking about.

"Chasing The Sun" is a documentary "mini-series" of sorts that is about the first 100 years of powered flight. From the dunes of Kitty Hawk to crossing the Atlantic, to flying around the world in airplanes with no propellers six miles above the earth, it's an absolute ant total immersion into aviation history. And it was beautifully made. It really hit home with me. And I know it struck a common chord with all our flying brethren who have seen it. History of aviation, birth and growth of the airlines, into modern aviation. It's a beautiful documentary series.

One thing I never understood, however, was why PBS (in this case, KCET-Los Angeles, the producers) did not even bother putting it on DVD. You have to dig real deep into PBS's website to find any reference to it, since it isn't even on sale!

What's worse is that you cannot find anything related to it on YouTube or Google Video, or anything like it. Which is a shame, since people are constantly putting up snippets of aviation documentaries or other videos on such sites for the world to see.

If anyone would send a link to where to buy it, if it is being sold anywhere, or to a petition to get the documentary series in publication again, I'd be glad to put the link here, and sign any petition. To hide such art is a shame. It is a beautiful work of art, and it should be experienced by all once more, especially now in these tumultuous times in aviation.
