Airborne Magic Vol.1 - NZ airshow VHS

[ZacYates]

Hi all
As a child I have a memory of the folks getting out a video from the New Plymouth library which was clips of various NZ airshows, but included an SR-71. Recently I found a post by long-gone WONZer FlyNavy which mentioned the title of this completely vanished video: Airborne Magic Volume 1.

Does anyone have a copy? I'd love to watch it again and transfer it to DVD. Google searches produce nothing!

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Still looking, though checking this thread doesn't make me hopeful.

I have that VHS, and Volume 2, somewhere.... gawd knows where it is now as I have not had a TV in years so all my VHS's are in deep stasis. I have not watched it in 25 years or so.

They were the folks that filmed the Venom crashing through the fence at Ardmore, from memory. I have no memory of an SR-71 though.

Zac I think these two were rereleased on DVD in the 2000's?

I'd no idea there was a Volume 2, I figured they were being optimistic! I'll redouble my efforts in finding a DVD as my Googling efforts only seem to lead me back to this thread.

SR-71 features on cassette case, but noted as "Briefly"!

I remember watching it as a child and thinking it was amazing to see (a few seconds?) of one on a Kiwi video!

Forum member Venomnut has uploaded Airborne Magic Volume 2 to YouTube, and I’m watching it for the first time now:
