RE: Just Planes Videos Part 3

The next 3 WAR programs that will be sent out automatically to WAR Club members look very nice indeed (Gemini DC-10, Oasis B744, and Alaska B732). <img border=0 src="http://justplanes.com/images/Gemini_Cover_x175.jpg" width="138" height="175" border=0> <img border=0 src="http://justplanes.com/images...

214 min. of SpiceJet (per the JP site blurb)...even though the packaging shows the proverbial commonplace run time of "186 min.". Curious.

I think the new SAA A346 DVD might be a goodie.....being that the first flight (of 10 hours duration) is evidently all filmed "in the cabin" of the brand-new bird. That would be okay by me.

Tommy M.:

The AOM DC-10 DVD is merely going to be a "re-release" of the "Air Liberte" VHS DC-10 video, isn't it (which was filmed in 2001)?

It's merely a title change from Liberte to AOM I believe.
