Wow, I think it’s been almost 20 years since I’ve seen this VHS tape...I remember having this and Awesome Trains on VHS and watched them often alongside my Dave Hood “There goes a...” tapes...was just thinking about this since it’s been so long and funny to see it posted in full. The music and Howard’s commentary is making me feel super nostalgic lol Cool to see so many other people had this video too as kids, thanks for sharing it! Hope everyone is staying safe.
"Ever since man first saw a bird jump off a tree and take to the air, the thought of flying has gone from a dream to a reality." It feels like they were shooting for something profound there but came up a bit short of the mark.
One of my favorite tapes from when I was a kid. I always thought Howard was so funny. If you can find them, you should do this with Awesome Space and I Wanna Be a Jet Pilot.
1:20 That old 90's style "music" kinda reminded me of an old Canadian exercise tv/info commercial spots that ran in Canada. It was called "Body Break". lol
Im producing music now, to get to my roots of what makes my ear so good with melodies i tracked down the first koolest thing i remember hearing, 3:08 took me forever to find what this was. I was like 4 or 5 years old
I'm pretty sure I found a current line of contact with 'Howard' after a little bit of digging. I'm tempted to shoot him a message about how great I thought this was as a kid since I never sent in mail 😊
This is cool how you upload video related to aviation , that's my major of study. I know thivsis more of a retro tech channel, thanks for the share anyway! I recognize quite a few old birds that are no longer in service now.
Back when I was in elementary school, one of my teachers used to put on cheesy educational "movies" like this every Friday, right before home time. Good times, the 90s.
I remember watching this years ago. Awesome memories. Can you imagine going 4,534 miles an hour? Holy Crap!! I wonder what that feels like? The ''non stop'' flight all the way around the at 18:49 technically did stop... when it was over. No flight is non stop. Why do pilots say that you're doing to be on a non stop flight?
@@benjamingold6987 Hence the debate. Pre-9/11 also means pre-smartphone, pre-ULCC, miles earned as is, meals on most flights in economy, redcap service, no A380, no 787, etc. a mix of good and bad.
sad that this type of interaction is now gone... where can I find this sound track? Would like to play it when I go on the treadmill later this evening
About The Boeing 747-400 Scene,May I suggest the workers on that plane listen to pop music from a boombox,whilst working on the plane? I seen this video a LOT as a child,and I could imagine that happening.
I remember another vhs about vehicles from my childhood, such as airplanes, bulldozers, and motorcycles, and they played the candy cane nutcracker theme for the airplane sequence. I even had baby einstein videos, and another about kids playing with blocks and sports (with someone saying yes and no). Childhoods are mermerible
The high pitched helium voice sounds like Alvin & The Chipmunks, Woody Woodpecker, Gabby, one of the robots from Crashbox, Talking Tom or Fred Figglehorn.
Video quality ridiculously good for vhs ep. What deck model did you use to play it? External tbc? (Time base correction). Capture device? Any post processing on a pc/Mac for cleanup or deinterlacing?
I landed up with a copy of this tape recently with some other titles from this company. It tracks horribly in any VHS deck I have. Simitar put out some real junk EP recordings.
First time I've ever seen one of these appear online. I've got one about trains and construction equipment from my childhood I've thought about capturing them to upload them. Mine however didn't have all this goofy narration...
I'd like to know this, too. I'm capturing my old VHS-C tapes and I can't seem to find the right software/codecs/bit rate/etc. that results in a quality I like. This vid looks great!
Captured via a DV Handycam, as I showed in my video about EasyCap (the first one). De-interlaced from 60i to 60p using QTGMC and upscaled to 960x720 in my video editor (Serif MoviePlus).
So cheesy its turned green. I can smell it from here in England across the Atlantic. I hope no one steps on it. Haha. I still enjoyed it. I didn't know Trump presented serious issues like aviation. Or is it Bush? Gee, help me out guys !
![[VHS] I Wanna Be A Jet Pilot (1995)](/img/n.gif)
OMG the childhood feels with this. Talk about unlocking the memories!
I still have the VHS.. I miss these days as a kid and watching this video almost every single day
@@jonahair747 it felt longer than 36 minutes when I was a kid too

0:58 can we make this scream the new stock footage scream sound? Tired of the Wilhelm and the goat screams.

14:26 me playing flight simulators and pretending I know what I'm doing
90s videos are very nice
For an EP recording, this looks great. Glad they used HiFi sound, normal (stationary head) audio is awful on EP.
A wild VHS tape has appeared!
Did you get banned from Wintergatan's channel for spamming about what weekday it is?
60FPS VHS looks so good :D
I feel like my teacher just rolled in the tv into the classroom.
I watched this as a kid on VHS and I still have it!! God I miss these days..
Used to love watching this when I was little. It felt felt longer than 36 minutes too

How do i adjust the tracking control on my phone?
Turn off your GPS and location service
MrHack: 😆
Yes!! I Had this VHS as a kid! Im pretty sure I still do have it in a box somewhere.
I was waiting to see this!
Thank you for uploading!!

0:07 - Oh god you brought part of my childhood back.
I remember watching this as a kid and I absolutely loved it thanks to my folks
Did not expect this video to come out.
Thanks for making me watch 35 minutes of this!
That thumbnail is the most 90s thing I've ever seen
As a kid I loved going to the Oakland Airport to watch planes land and takeoff. Back when you could go to the terminals without a ticket.
I love the lack of editing.
Has that 90's charm.
Also, lemme guess, Simitar was one of those budget VHS distributors.
23:52 :D thanks for uploading this. Sure fun to watch something so different and keep my mind off the Covid situation. Thanks!
Is this the precursor to “Lots And Lots of Jets & Planes”?
The trains ones are way better.

As a frequent flyer, trying to debate with myself whether I miss the pre-9/11 era or not...
Why wouldn't you miss it? Seems like it was better to me- I was born in 2001

that intro is just legendary

Wow, talk about a bygone era. When flying was a bit more enjoyable and less of an hassle.
0:08 >Simitar Entertainment
you don't see tapes like those very often in the wild.
That brings us to the next video is where the Red NYET meets the Simitar “S”.

I literally have been looking for this childhood for a long time! OMG! 🥹
Pretty neat, my grandfather worked on airplanes many years ago, I'm sure he'd like this.
Why is "Alvin on helium" teaching me about airplanes?
Was that AVGN flying across the screen in the title?
Great memories watching this as a kid and wearing out the VHS tape
About The Boeing 747-400 Scene,May I suggest the workers on that plane listen to pop music from a boombox,whilst working on the plane?
I seen this video a LOT as a child,and I could imagine that happening.
Had no idea that the narrator was "flyin' high" om helium!
I remember Flying with American Airlines from Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark Airport to Florida to Carnival Glory in 2007
23:15 some of this technology seems very high tech for today's standards. I'm amazed
I wish I had fund a awesome airplanes vhs and take pictures and say welcome to airplane and airports
Soviet MiG 21s(28:08) and Italian Frecce Tricolor(1:41) - that's one strange choice of Air Aerobatics groups
There's probably a good reason they didn't demonstrate the cargo bay using the model DC-10.
In 1991 my dad had to edit a VHS with another Vcr men i only live while it was dying out.
I remember another vhs about vehicles from my childhood, such as airplanes, bulldozers, and motorcycles, and they played the candy cane nutcracker theme for the airplane sequence. I even had baby einstein videos, and another about kids playing with blocks and sports (with someone saying yes and no). Childhoods are mermerible
wow, great, 60fps vhs material!
The trackings controls - they do nahtink.
Airplanes and airports!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 😂
WOOOOOOOOH!! 😂
Aah. 60 FPS with HiFi Stereo. *Simply irresistible.*
Nice work Mr. Kevin!! Best regards from Chile!!
Congrats on 100K...😄😊
3:4. The best ratio.
You mean 4:3.
I miss that old American Airlines paint scheme
Why is the Pinnacle Video Productions, Inc. logo a triangle of meat?
The high pitched helium voice sounds like Alvin & The Chipmunks, Woody Woodpecker, Gabby, one of the robots from Crashbox, Talking Tom or Fred Figglehorn.
I absolutely remember this from my childhood! I can imagine it's not going to be nearly as fun as I remembered it 😐
Never mind saw your earlier response great stuff as usual
Video quality ridiculously good for vhs ep. What deck model did you use to play it? External tbc? (Time base correction). Capture device? Any post processing on a pc/Mac for cleanup or deinterlacing?
Hey VW! I have an old VHS, tape, diggers and dozers or something like that, do you have a PO box I could send it to? It's yours if you'd like it!
Please, be kind: rewind.
I chose the wrong time to watch this; people are asleep and I’m trying not to laugh out loud!
I landed up with a copy of this tape recently with some other titles from this company. It tracks horribly in any VHS deck I have. Simitar put out some real junk EP recordings.
Where did you dig up that old fossil?
A thrift store.
@@vwestlife It was a joke.... Where did you dig up that old fossil? is a Star Wars Quote that I thought would go with that old video.
I'm not a Star Wars fan, so I didn't get it.
@@vwestlife I will try harder next time.
Why do I get the feeling that nobody ever wrote to Howard?
I wonder if that address is even still a valid address?
I wonder if Howard still gets letters???
First time I've ever seen one of these appear online. I've got one about trains and construction equipment from my childhood I've thought about capturing them to upload them. Mine however didn't have all this goofy narration...
EP tape looks quite good even tough it is upscaled and frame added. What did you use to capture and digitizing/upscaling?
I'd like to know this, too. I'm capturing my old VHS-C tapes and I can't seem to find the right software/codecs/bit rate/etc. that results in a quality I like. This vid looks great!

@@vwestlife Thank you! QTGMC made a huge difference!
VWestlife what model dv handycam do you use? Thinking of getting one for cap jobs like this
A Sony DCR-PC55, but any of them with AV In -> DV passthrough mode will work equally well.
Couldn't take the artificial voice. Bailed at 9 minutes.
cool video
So cheesy its turned green. I can smell it from here in England across the Atlantic. I hope no one steps on it. Haha. I still enjoyed it. I didn't know Trump presented serious issues like aviation. Or is it Bush? Gee, help me out guys !
Please, someone show this to RedLetterMedia!
I have been waiting!!
What is the music at 17:27
Why do Command & Conquer (C&C Thang - Frank Klepacki) comes to my mind at around 17:52 & 18:10? ;)
hi, how many fps should be considered when digitizing the video ?, to achieve such smoothness
60fps (59.94 to be exact) for NTSC or 50fps for PAL.
Hey , I am from India . Can u please tell us how to get our videos from tape . We have Sony handycam model no. Dcr-trv250
Amondo Dickerson looks like Martin Luther King Jr.
Man there's a bunch of dead airlines in this video. Northwest being one of them.
Makes me wonder why they would record a 36 minute vhs on EP mode rather than sp mode. Maybe they were keeping the cost down?
Exactly -- to make it cheaper to produce by using the least amount of tape.
They dubbed the wrong sound for an aircraft toilet flushing.
0:53 to 1:19 play that at 1/2 speed!
4:11 to 10:51 That sounds like those aliens who can say "The Claaaw!" and "He's the chosen one!"
Wendover Productions, the early years.
How do you get rid of the bar at the bottom of the picture without cutting the bottom portion of the image?
I actually did cut off the bottom few lines of the image to get rid of the head switching noise.
@@vwestlife head switching noise is it?
How does the head switch? Isnt it still? Then why is this line only at the bottom?
Concorde house music.
finally
Ah, the first seconds reminds me to a retroshitpost from SkyCorp.
The intro sounds like demo mode on a cheap keyboard
Santos Dummond.......
Did I hear the air traffic controller say green is for landing a plane coming into land wouldn't be able to see it.
Couldn't make it past the chipmunk voice.
This made me hate and despise Vin L. Parker!
Oh the shitty FM presets :-DDd
