Firefighter George and Amazing Airplanes

Description

ANOTHER AWARD-WINNING VIDEO BY START SMARTER, WINNER OF DR. TOY'S 100 BEST CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS IN 2003, 2004 & 2005. DR. TOY'S 10 BEST SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TOYS, 2003 & 2005. TEN BEST VIDEOS 2004 & OPPENHEIM'S GOLD BEST DVD AWARD 2006. "Firefighter George" introduces youngsters to "Pilot Sean" Tucker, a professional stunt pilot, while cameras inside the cockpit offer kids a pretty good idea of what it's like to spin like a top in the air (with additional footage shot from another plane and the ground). The program also features "Lt. Ray" Thaler, USAF, who flies his F-15 fighter jet, the Navy's Blue Angels performing their hair-raising close-formation flying, "Pilot Bambi" Green showing a group of kids a commercial jet in a maintenance hangar, and "Flight Attendant Tonja" Releford sharing several safety tips aboard a grounded training plane. Finally, helicopters--and the Army-are also spotlighted, as retired "Major Lisa" Bailey demonstrates how a Huey chopper takes off and lands. Safety is discussed throughout every phase, while interviews with the ground crews emphasize the number of people caring for each of the units. A good introduction to a wide variety of flying machines that also serves as a solid primer on airline safety, this is recommended. - Video Librarian

Amazing Airplanes.......2005-06-13

My grandchildren LOVED this DVD. They are 7, 6, and three four year olds. Each of them, boys and girls, sit captivated by the Blue Angels and stunt pilot and, especially, the evacuation from a Delta plane into the water. They are mesmerized by all of the action. I liked the way safety for the children is highlighted and the fact that Firefighter George emphasizes diversity. He shows women in traditional men's roles, as well as having blacks and whites in both the child actors and those in leadership positions. You'll be very glad you bought this DVD for your children and grandchildren...I sure am! Over 40 minutes of peace every day since it arrived...and they continue begging me to let them watch it again and again.
