The Magic of Flight
The Museum of Science’s Mugar Omni Theatre fills with the sights and sounds of screaming F-18 fighter jets as the panoramic film ‘The Magic of Flight’ settles in for a four month run. The 40-minute documentary traces the history of flight back to the Wright Brothers first successful attempt in 1903, commercial travel with Qantas and finally focusing in on the US Navy Blue Angels Demonstration Squadron and some of their patented, death-defying maneuvers. The film includes footage of Blue Angels practice sessions where pilots repeat and refine certain tricks, as well as interviews with pilots Sean Tucker and Patty Wagstaff.
