A Pilot's Story - trailer 1

The story of flight is a sweeping saga that has exceeded the imaginations of even those who first dreamed it. And yet it unfolds (as all truly special stories do) in moments, places . . . and people. Always and ever in people.

Just above the heads of most of our brothers, sisters, coworkers, and neighbors there hang gossamer cathedrals of piled cotton below the cobalt dome of a perfect sky. But fewer than one in 500 will ever experience this through the front window of a flying machine. A Pilot's Story seeks out the special few who have answered the call of the skies, those with the discipline, aptitude, and courage to become pilots.

Filmed in hangars and homes, at restaurants and on ramps, A Pilot's Story tells the story of flight in the words of pilots themselves. What it means to fly an airplane all alone for the first time. What it means to fly an airplane for the last time. The easy rapport one can have with a person who is a complete stranger but for the shared experience of flying.

And the excitement that consumes pilots at the opportunity to share this world of aviation with non-pilots, airport communities, community leaders, and anyone else who will listen.

A Pilot's Story is a film for anyone who has sat all alone in an aircraft, firewalled the throttle, charged down the runway, and rotated. And especially for those who might if given the chance. For most people, the sky is the limit. For a pilot, the sky is home.

This is the story of the journey home. A Pilot's Story.

@figdmoney I think what he meant to say, was that even if you never fly again, you will always consider yourself to be a pilot.

@figdmoney dude, that's not it. for example, my manager at work isn't medically qualified to fly but I still consider him a pilot. I will always consider him a pilot. When you become a pilot you are forever apart of the unique community in the world who can fly an airplane by themselves and share that experience with others. All I can explain is that it's like a ever growing family. That gentleman was saying being a pilot is not just an identity, it's apart of you.
