To Fly! (1976) IMAX 70mm film, LaserDisc rip

Visually stunning and influential IMAX 70mm film made to commemorate the renovation, reopening, and renaming of the National Air and Space Museum by MacGillivray Freeman Films. A brief history of aviation, from hot air balloons to barnstorming to military planes to space flight. Was only supposed to have a year long engagement, but is still playing at the National Air and Space Museum! This is a rip of the LaserDisc release of the film, which is the highest quality version publicly available. I blew it up to 1080p, and did some minor color and brightness correction. I'd put this on an exclusive tracker years ago but decided it'd be nice to have it be widely available.

This is not the first IMAX film, but it was the film that really put the format on the map, and has been seen by millions. In fact, its one of the highest grossing documentaries of all time despite only playing in a handful of venues.
