6 Luftfahrer: Hopefully LAN Cargo on the 77F. That would be awesome to say the least. I don't know if they've got a 32 minute flight, though.
7 EMA747: LAN Cargo would be amazing. Their 77Fs and 767Fs look great. I'm not sure if LAN Cargo would really be classed as a new airline as JP have already don

12 EMA747: I like the look of the new CDG airport DVD. I have been on two photography trips to CDG and it is a great airport with lots of different carries. Andy

15 justplanes: This coming Friday we will have a re-release of a sold out program... and in a week or 2 we will have a new airline joining the series!

24 alberchico: just out of curiosity, if the program was filmed in 2006 why was it released now ?
25 justplanes: About Blu Rays. Before you rush into buying them make sure they are professionally produced and not something that was burned at home... BD-Rs are the
26 ZeronineLeft: Oh, you might think again. Blu-rays are the way to go. Imagine the quality! No doubt abaout that. Ble-ray is here to stay for a long time. Steve
28 justplanes: Well it is possible that Europe is different than North America... Here there isn't a single producer of any sort of documentary.. not just aviation..
29 EMA747: We have had the Blue Ray debate in the other thread and I still agree with what JP is saying. In Europe BR is quite popular but with big film titles r

43 justplanes: Hello Andy, We were supposed to have a re-release from VHS to DVD tomorrow but we have to delay it by a week because our warehouse is completely back
44 EMA747: Thanks for the update JP. I am interesting in the VHS to DVD releases and there are a few I really hope make it to DVD. Hope you have a great weekend

52 justplanes: Keeping them crossed for you too Andy! Good luck!
53 EMA747: I think there is a bit of confusion over what HD is in reality. When something is filmed in HD it doesn't mean the end product is HD. HD's big drawbac
54 tyku: Yes, that is what I see when I look at the new guys DVD's !

88 phlstudent: JP, not sure if your willing to give this information up. But I order the AC 77W and 77L videos yesterday and curious if you reached the 100 order cap
89 justplanes: Depends on your order number... but the 100 orders came in the day the DVD was released.. Right now orders 22587 through 22686 will ship on Dec 29th.
90 justplanes: Updating you... because of the number of orders received we opened the warehouse today as well... and looks like we'll be able to get 170 orders out
91 midcon385: Awesome! I'm 22729 and wasn't expecting it to ship this week (which is fine), but I'm sure going to be thrilled if it does end up making the cut! Tim

122 justplanes: Indeed Andy. I am VERY surprised at how well the old stuff is selling so we're def going to dedicate more releases to those than originally planned.
123 EMA747: Do you have a list of ALL the programs you have filmed including VHS? I ask only out of interest because sometime my local shop at EMA has some of you

131 justplanes: It took a bit of time but wasn't that hard... Easier to film in Iran than it is in the UK...

152 777guy: J P, just curious about the new Astra program. Will this be a program that is a continuous run, I.E. not separated by chapters and having no graphics?
153 757767lover: Does that mean he get's paid the wages of 3 people (HA HA ) That sounds great as long as the Government as not imposed restrictions like the BWIA A-3

Hi Justplanes,
One question about the AC 319/321 DVD, which looks fantastic by the way! I watched the preview on youtube, during the A321 flight, the Captain pointed out Cape Canaveral and said that the last shuttle mission was launched just last week, how is that possible? Did you guys record, produce and release the AC DVD within a few days? The last space shuttle was launched on July 8th and your video came out on July 15th. I'm just curious.
I noticed this little detail too in the preview. I am sure JustPlanes will be able to fill you in but I suspected that it was a case of the crew knew that the Space Shuttles were launched from there and that the last mission was scheduled doonish. So the Captain just said that the last mission had been flown. I have seen that in TV programmes here in the UK where a programme is recorded before an event but goes out after it and the presenter or whoever just say it has already happened to keep up with the times.

That's a good point. I never thought about that possibility.

Hey guys,
That was a good observation/question!
I believe that what the Captain meant is that it was just after the final flight of Discovery... It looks like we passed the area just over a week after that flight lifted off...

J P, you said on face book that the cost of producing the new Eastern DC7 was 60% higher than normal costs. Just curious about that. Why is this more costly than other DVDs? Also you mentioned about a DC3 in the Caribean. I have been on board Just planes site for a long time now and do not remember seeing that one offered.
Jim

Part of the reason of the Eastern being so expensive is that we paid to film... we normally don't do that.... we also paid so that the plane would make a special takeoff and landing in St Maarten for us to capture it from the beach... so it was a big gamble on our part because we didn't know how well it would sell... Things like the Buffalo DC-4 and Everts DC-6 are selling really well but not enough to justify spending what we did on Eastern... In any case judging from the sales of the first 2 days Eastern is an absolute hit so we def made the right call...
DC-3 in the Caribbean was a VHS we released maybe 18 years ago. It was filmed on Four Star and was a fantastic documentary on the aircraft and operation... a 3 man film crew had spent a week capturing great images around the islands... Sales were very disappointing and we lost a ton of money on it...

That's odd,you would think they would allowed you to film them for free in order to garner as much publicity as possible....

The one thing I love about the series are the more exotic operations featured like russian aircraft , vintage freighters or bush plane operations. Its a shame more people aren't into that. I still say this is one of the most unique programs that jp has done...

The MALEV program looks great! I have the original VHS program but I will grab the new DVD because of the new footage. Based on the preview, it look like JP enhanced the 767 footage too. I'm very excited about this, I've been hoping to see the MA program re-release in DVD format for years!

I totally agree with you and thats why we do those knowing that most of these will be a loss but it makes the series more complete and interesting...

Quoting kaitak (Reply 221): Any clues as to when the next DVD is coming out ... and will it include a new aircraft type?
This Friday we have no release... instead we'll have a Columbus Day sale..
Next Friday we should have 2 DVDs coming out, a release that was previously on video and a re-release of a sold out DVD..
and the plan for the Friday thereafter is for the release of a new program.
No new type planned at this time...

Regarding the AC772LR I know it's widescreen and I'm assuming it's HD and not Blu-ray. I raced through a few of the comments above, but it's not clear to me.
I've enjoyed hours of watching the many Just Planes DVDs I know, but unfortunately with the widescreen TVs viewing is just not the same. Are all future Just Planes DVDs going to be in Widescreen format (or possibly even blu-ray).

Yes I confirm, all the newly filmed DVDs will be widescreen... anything that was filmed prior 2010 when we switched to HD and that is still going to be released in the future will be full screen. We have a number of programs that were never released and that are being considered for release, those would indeed be full screen... we also have a number of videos that we're considering re-releasing on DVD and that would be the same...

We're selling this new program in both BLU RAY and DVD so you can just buy the DVD, no worries...

I got the latest AC 77L video (YYZ-HKG) in standard format; I always get mine at the aviation shop at Manchester Airport, on the way to/from home (Dublin). I have to say I enjoyed it immensely.
A four hour aviation video can be quite "dry" (i.e wall to wall technical info), but the AC crew and particularly Capt. Allen made it a pleasure to watch. I am really glad that JP has such a good relationship with AC and as Capt. Allen hinted, hopefully we'll be seeing the 787 featuring in the future. I guess my only wish would be that you could go back in a time warp and feature some old AC types - DC8s, L1011s, 747 Classics, Vanguards etc!
I often feel that one of the great advantages of this videos is often overlooked - the historical value; in years to come when a Canadian youngster asked his retired AC pilot grandfather, "what was it like to fly A330s/787s etc", they'll have these videos/DVDs.
One question I have is about the crews' careers: the Quebecois FO mentioned that he had served as a Embraer jet captain for two years, before going back to being an FO (and a relief FO, at that) on the 777; this seems somewhat unusual. Also, it seems unusual that they have relief FOs only on the 777, if I understood correctly. This suggests that he just flies as a relief FO, not alternating (as most carriers do); anyone know why AC does it this way?

Glad you enjoyed the new Air Canada DVD kaitak!
If you have a minute to email us those comments for our website that would be great!

You are right about the historic value of these DVDs.
Already we have aircraft that are pretty much no longer in service... and airlines that don't exist anymore...
As far as your question.
Sometimes pilots will go for the right seat on a larger aircraft over the left seat in a smaller one.
In the case of this F/O, he does 1 roundtrip YYZ to HKG and logs more than 30 hours...
He might have to do 10-20 flights on the Embraer to get to 30 hours and may prefer the other..
Perhaps someone else has more inside into all this...
