Disney’s heartwarming family comedy, Planes, revved up with high-flying action and adventure, landed in homes and mass retailers nationwide on Nov. 19. This endearing underdog story about a crop dusting plane named Dusty with sky-high dreams touches down on Bluray, DVD, Digital HD and On-Demand featuring a cargo hold full of exciting bonus features. Guaranteeing hours of fun, Planes is the perfect gift for “ladies and gentle-planes” of all ages this holiday season. To view a full eight-minute sneak peek of the film, visit youtu.be/ WBi4FWOgNPc After spreading its wings in theaters, Planes soars to glorious new heights on Blu-ray, featuring wondrous high definition picture and sound and never-beforeseen bonus features, including musical number “Franz’s Song,” deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes featurette that follows Director Klay Hall’s personal journey during the making of the film, a look at the ten greatest aviators in history hosted by ESPN’s Colin Cowherd, and more. Directed by Klay Hall (King of the Hill, The Simpsons), produced by Traci Balthazor-Flynn (Return to Never Land, Bambi II, The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning) and written by Jeffrey M. Howard (Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell and the
Great Fairy Rescue), Planes flew to the top of the U.S. box office this summer, holding altitude as the number one family movie in America four weekends in a row. Planes is propelled by a star-studded voice cast that includes Dane Cook (Louie, My Best Friend’s Girl, Dan in Real Life) as Dusty, Stacy Keach (The Bourne Legacy, Nebraska) as Navy Corsair Skipper, Teri Hatcher (ABC’s Desperate Housewives, Coraline) as sayit-like-it-is mechanic Dottie, Julia LouisDreyfus (Veep, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Seinfeld) as Rochelle, Priyanka Chopra (Barfi!) as Ishani, John Cleese (Monty Python, A Fish Called Wanda) as Bulldog, Carlos Alazraqui (James Garcia on Comedy Central’s Reno 91) as El Chupacabra, Roger Craig Smith (Captain America in Disney XD’s Marvel’s Avengers Assemble, voice of Sonic The Hedgehog in Wreck-It Ralph) as the world champion racer Ripslinger, Val Kilmer (Batman Forever, Top Gun) as Bravo and Anthony Edwards (TV’s ER, Top Gun) as Echo. Planes will be available as a Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray+ DVD + Digital Copy), a Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy), a DVD (DVD + Digital Copy), Digital HD and On-Demand.
The Pylon Place Continued from Page 45 Francois LeVot (the overall winner), Olivier Masurel, Francois Rallet, Ivanoff and Alexandre Leboulanger – all finishing in the top ten. The USA team earned the silver with Rob Holland, Michael Racy and Nikolay Timofeev in the top 10. The Russian team walked away with the bronze, with Mamistov finishing second overall.
Friendships The best part of attending the WAC 2013 is the friendships. The names may not roll off the tongue of the average pilot, but these people are rockstars to some of us. Each of them is a world level competitor and an inspiration. This level of flying requires non-stop focus and determination. I walked away with a book filled with autographs, Better Aerobatics by Alan Cassidy – who was also on site as a judge.
Even with the wind and the rain, I know I’m glad I volunteered to be part of the team. Special appreciation to Chris Rudd, the Contest Director; Lorrie Penner, the Assistant Contest Director; Joy McKinney, the Volunteer Coordinator, Lynn Bowes, the Registrar; Douglas Lovell for the website, etc., and all the other volunteers who made this experience possible. Special thanks to Laurie Zaleski and Patty Anderson for their photographs.
