There Goes an Airplane [VHS]

There Goes an Airplane [VHS]

"Pilot Dave" Hood, cocreator and host of the There Goes a... series of children's videos, straps himself into a variety of flying machines in this entertaining production. Riding shotgun on a stunt plane that loops and whooshes to a dizzying degree, Hood does a lot of yelping, but he also succinctly and entertainingly describes exactly why airplanes defy gravity. (Adults can learn from this video, too.) We learn the workings of passenger jets, and how the airline industry functions in various other ways, from selling passenger tickets to getting one's luggage to its proper destination. The plentiful comic moments include the sight of Hood falling onto a suitcase conveyor belt. --Tom Keogh
