Still shots from the DVD
Airport Action - Big Jets : £17.95 : £12.95 : 90 minutes
"It's a Jumbo Jet!" How many times have you heard that cry in airport lounges around the world? More than 30 years on, the impact of Boeing's first wide-bodied jetliner still lingers.
Filmed from 2000 to 2003, these 90 minutes of superb action video celebrate our continuing amazement that these things actually fly!
Shot airside at Gatwick and Manchester, with additional material from Heathrow and Frankfurt, we take you from the 747 Classic and its later variants, to the Boeing 767 and 777. Airbus products start with the A300, the 310 and of course the 330/340 long range jets. Tristar fans, relax they're here, along with the DC10 and MD11. We actually go inside the third engine of a DC10, mounted high on the tail, for a fan blade check!
Beside the runway, on the ramp, around the airports - great locations, stunning shots, superb sound - that's AIRPORT ACTION - BIG JETS
Comments from our customers ....
I must say that your DVDs are simply the best. The image quality is amazing. Really loved the Zurich DVD + Big Jets.

DVD formats explained
There are several different kinds of DVD available so here's a simple guide.
DVDs are 'pressed' from a master disc.
DVD-Rs are 'burnt' from a master DVD, just like copying one CD to another.
DVDs and DVD-Rs will play in any computer DVD drive [but not in a CD drive].
All our DVDs/DVD-Rs are 'region-free', so they will play anywhere in the world. However, if you're not watching your DVDs on a computer, you will need to ensure they are compatible with your national TV system. There are two main types; PAL and NTSC.
PAL TV is used in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and many other Commonwealth countries. PAL DVDs are therefore the obvious choice for those countries.
Because PAL DVD players will also play NTSC DVDs without any adverse effect on picture quality, DVDs that were filmed in NTSC are now released as PAL/NTSC DVDs, as the same format can be used world-wide.
NTSC TV systems are used in the USA, Canada, Japan and some other countries. If you have a multi-system DVD player, this will play either NTSC or PAL DVDs, and you should also buy our PAL DVDs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Most US DVD players are multi-region, not multi-system, and you will need to buy our NTSC DVD-Rs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Some early DVD players would not play DVD-Rs. If you buy a DVD-R from us and it is not compatible with your DVD player, we will provide a full refund, including your postage.
Postage and packing charges
Not only are our postal charges some of the lowest in the UK, we don't charge any extra to ship DVDs to any destination worldwide.
The more DVDs you buy in one order, the lower the postal charges. Buy four or more and there is no postal charge at all. Buy five or more and we'll add Special Delivery or Priority Airmail at no extra cost.
That's great value!
- 1 DVD ~ £1.50
- 2 or 3 DVDs ~ £2.00
- 4 DVDs ~ Free Delivery
- More than 4 DVDs ~ Free Special Delivery or Priority Airmail
