Three one hour films which explore the soaring, action packed world of aviation. Join the fighter pilot, the test pilot and the aerobat and be propelled into a world where courage, challenge and freedom rule the day In little more than a lifetime, we've shrunk the globe to the size of a tiny ball...We've realized the miraculous age-old dream of flying...and with grace and power lift off from the earth toward freedom in the skies. We are the envy of our ancestors, propelled by our drive and imagination to new heights, fueled by a timeless longing to fly...Today, we soar higher than the birds, rising far beyond the reach of yesterday's most daring dreamers.

1. FLYING COURAGE
The fighter pilot, the test pilot and the aerobat all share the courage to test themselves In the high-flying world of aviation, the fighter pilot is the most elite flyer. Today in control of a multi-million dollar machine that's fast, versatile - and deadly. Fighter pilots are the last of a vanishing breed - knights of the air who still battle directly with their enemies. They're the ones with an unquenchable desire to explore the dream further. They have the courage to test themselves - to seek out new challenges at the borders of danger. And that's story of the aviation. For flight represents a kind of freedom -

the freedom to go beyond where we are, to free ourselves of gravity, and find ourselves in the clouds, amid the skies like a bird, pointing toward a limitless and open horizon.

2. FLYING CHALLENGE
We take to the air as easily now as a bird, aloft in an ocean of currents, gliding and powering our way into the future...Yet the miracle of flight still ignites the dreams and passions of many...Flying has awakened in us our courage and creativity, our determination and our cunning...It challenges our imagination and requires us to look beyond what we see, to push beyond the limits of what we know. Pushing the limits takes vision and commitment, but it also takes courage - the courage to see an idea through to its fulfillment.

3. FLYING FREEDOM
A sense of freedom...and challenge...of exploration and joy...For many people today, these are the rewards for defying gravity, for taking to the air...Yet while most consider human flight a combination of jet engines, horsepower, and thrust, there are those who think otherwise. For them, unmotorized flight is the ultimate human act, the way to become one with nature.
