Excerpts from “Flying Route 66” reviews.

“ These photos are rich and colorful in the best of the photojournalistic tradition...”
--Mike Collins, Flight Training Magazine

“ Watching Russ Munson’s Flying Route 66 is a bit like closing your eyes and listening to a good friend describe his Kerouac-like adventure across the great expanse of the West.
But this new DVD, frankly, is better, because it combines both Munson’s voice and his unique vision, as seen through his camera viewfinder.
It is a trip every aviation enthusiast swears he or she will make one day—the wild fantasy of abandoning all things mundane and setting out to fly low and slow along a classic routing cross country. Munson draws us into his fantasy immediately, and lets us know right off the bat that there will be cheap motel rooms in podunk towns. And there will be bad weather, and days spent at the noon matinee waiting it out.
But for every blank hotel wall there is a sweeping vista—a sense of a time gone by that is haunting as we fly past the derelict buildings that once served an endless stream of humanity traveling East to West on Route 66.
Crawford Brown’s eerily haunting score pulsed beneath Munson’s narration throughout, adding special depth to this piece of performance art.
Here is a book come alive.”
