One Six Right: The Romance of Flying is an independent documentary film about the general aviation industry as seen through a local airport.
They describe close connection to Van Nuys Airport as home, with its most commonly-used runway, 16R (pronounced "one six right") as a reminder of that.
It began resurging when executive vice president of operations, Dean Daily Sr., allowed the film industry to shoot in the location; an example is Casablanca (1942).
They then disagree that general aviation is causing noise pollution: "[Just] shut your mouth for a few minutes, and wait until [the airplanes] go by."
By March 2006, Brian J. Terwilliger (Producer/Director) made the cover of The Hollywood Reporter in an article titled Filmmaker Takes Flight to DVD.
Completely self-funded by ticket and DVD sales at each venue, the tour received notable coverage within the entertainment industry as pioneering HD theatrical exhibition.
Sony Electronics and Bose installed a 44-foot (13 m) wide screen and a 5.1 channel digital surround system in the AirVenture Museum.
[13] The tour ended on December 2, 2006, with a finale screening at the 64,000-square-foot (5,900 m2) Syncro Aviation hangar at Van Nuys Airport.
Sony created a custom SXRD 4K high definition 5.1 digital surround sound movie theater in the east half of hangar with 1,300 seats for the audience.
The west half of the hangar was transformed into an aviation museum, displaying 16 of the actual aircraft shown in the film.
Additionally, AOPA sent over 1,400 DVDs of One Six Right to all their airport support network volunteers in hopes of inspiring local community discussions on the importance of general aviation.
[20] In response to hundreds of grass-roots organized screenings, the distributors of One Six Right have created a public performance licensing process.
This twenty-four-minute-long special feature showcased the six-year journey that brought One Six Right from conception to theatrical premiere.
