Learn how the Harrier jet mimics a bird s landing and take-off. In addition, the film takes the audience through the most difficult maneuver in all of aviation, precisely landing on an aircraft carrier. The film crew, with the assistance of McDonnell Douglas Aerospace, the U.S. Navy and the Department of Defense, worked together to create two interior and two exterior camera mounts. Navy pilots operated the cameras, loaded with 3 minutes of film, with a switch on the throttle. The Magic of Flight shows daily at The Science Place in Fair Park.
