First Ever IMAX 3-D Aviation Film
"Legends of Flight," the first ever 15/70 3D IMAX aviation
film, is set for to premier June 8th at the National Air and Space
Museum's IMAX theater west of Washington, DC.
Legends of Flight explores the relationships between natural
flight, advanced design, innovative assembly techniques and
operational technologies that have brought us to the dawn of a new
era in aircraft design. Profiling milestone aircraft having
influenced later aeronautical design and performance criteria,
Legends of Flight is the latest Giant Screen feature film from
acclaimed Canadian filmmaker, Stephen Low.
The film brings a new perspective to aviation through the use of
advanced 3D technology and the personality of The Boeing Company's
chief pilot for the 787 Dreamliner, Capt. Mike Carriker. Carriker
serves as the audience's guide, interpreter, flight instructor and
amiable companion. Moviegoers will soar engineless through
breathtaking mountain passes, feel the wind in their hair
barnstorming in a Stearman bi-plane, and will experience sheer
flight exhilaration as a Harrier Jump Jet leaps into the sky at the
pilot's command and then rockets to tactical speed.
The premier event will begin with a brunch and news conference
at 1000 EDT at Reagan National Airport's (DCA) Historic Terminal A
Lobby. The film will actually premier at 1300 at the Smithsonian
National Air & Space Museum (NASM) IMAX Theater in Chantilly,
VA.
Transportation from DCA to the NASM for the film premiere will
be provided. Those who are unable to attend the press conference
are welcome to attend the premiere. Return transportation to DCA
will be provided and a post-screening reception will be held in the
Terminal A Mezzanine Museum.
