Freedom in Flight

Year Published: 1972

Creator: Moody Institute of Science

Complete Record: Man’s Law or Natural Law? This thinly veiled promotion of aviation rules compares the rules of man to the laws of god. Flying a Beechcraft Twin Bonanza plane around the world Irwin Moon and son guide us through macabre audio of a pilot losing direction in mid air and crashing, a surreally blindfolded gymnast totally losing his sense of direction in an equilibrium experiment, an interview with astronaut John Glenn and the mysterious story of the Lady Be Good, the WWII bomber lost in the desert. The inevitable end sums up the film’s point of view as Moon honks: “It is only because of these laws, both man made and god given and because of man’s submission to them that he has been able to make meaningful progress in his search for true freedom both in the air and in his personal life.”
