Aerial America: Pacific Rim Collection - Join us on a non-stop journey by air over four of our nation's beautiful states, the exotic and breathtaking Hawaii and the spectacular coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. California - The Pacific Coast Highway of California offers drivers spectacular views while traveling along the edge of American culture. Buckle up for a non-stop flight over the mansion William Randolph Hearst built, the town Clint Eastwood governed and the farmland where Marilyn Monroe once held the title of Miss Artichoke. We soar over beaches and wine country, across Big Sur redwoods, under the Golden Gate Bridge and into the heart and soul of this magnificent state. Washington - Washington is home to some of America's wildest spaces and also its most modern cities. Often these disparate spaces are just a few miles apart. The Evergreen State is a story of mirror opposites: a wet, mountainous, tree-covered west and a dry, flat, open east. It is home to high-tech industries and America's oldest Native American tribes. Experience all sides of Washington State, from thousands of feet in the air, and witness its conflicting worlds merging to form a land of remarkable beauty. Oregon - Individualistic, eccentric and freethinking: a unique mix that's intrinsically Made in Oregon. These traits belong not just to the people of this diverse and dynamic state, but also to the landscape itself. From volcanic Crater Lake to the majestic High Cascades to the perilous Pacific coastline, Oregon is a state of staggering natural beauty. From Lewis and Clark's search for land's end to the thousands of emigrants who arrived via the Oregon Trail, the state has always attracted adventurers and tenacious travelers, who keep Oregon's spirit of adventure alive today. Hawaii - From lush green cliffs to black-sand beaches, from ancient ruins to modern city life, discover the stunning landscapes and astonishing stories of Hawaii's eight major islands without ever touching the ground.

Loved It!
Better than I expected!I had purchased the entire "Visions Of" collection...... (Visions of Europe - 10 DVD set).I loved them all, and thought there was nothing in the USA that would touch me like they did.This fooled me, I was really taken with the entire DVD.No, it cannot compete with the scenic beauty of Greece or Italy.For being here in the USA, I was very impressed.It includes Hawaii on the DVD as well.Considering I have purchased both "Visions of Hawaii" and "Over Hawaii" and was pissed with both DVD's."Visions of" had their Giant Logo in the right corner THROUGH THE ENTIRE DVD - DISTRACTING DURING THE ENTIRE DVD."Over Hawaii" would put a "Giant Splash" of lettering across the entire screen, displaying the name of that location, the only thing is, they display the location for almost a minute in "Giant Lettering" middle of the screen, so you could not enjoy the beautiful, scenic view!!I can read the giant lettering within seconds, do you have to display it for a full minute?STUPID!!This Hawaii DVD, IS THE ONLY AERIAL VIEW OF HAWAII WITHOUT ANY VISUAL DISTRACTION IN YOUR FACE.It is worth the cost of the DVD for Hawaii alone.That being said....viewing beautiful vineyards of grapes in wine country, aerial views of Hearst Castle, and the entire "Pacific Ocean Coastline" (California to Washington) can be just as breathtaking as any scenic DVD of Europe.

Isn't LA in California?
The photography is great. I watched California and I am disappointed. The film spends a lot of time on Hearst Castle, and farm land and even recreational reservoir. It does not cover southern California at all. I know California is big and it's hard to cover in one hour. But I don't understand how LA and southern California is missed.

A Great Way To See America From Your Living Room!
I'm always on the hunt for new and interesting travel shows on TV. When I first discovered Aerial America on the Smithsonian channel I knew I found something that would be enjoyable to watch. More than enjoyable, I discovered how beautiful the aerial photography is and how informative the narration of the particular state being shown is. At that point I knew I wanted to have Aerial America on dvd to watch anytime I wanted and to share with others. Until I have the chance to get out there and see more of America for myself I'll enjoy dvds of Aerial America.

Long and boring commentary
We just want to look at the scenery, we just want to look at the scenery. Its like being at a boring slide presentation on someones holiday who goes into great length about irrelevant topics. The film is like propaganda for American big business. This type of product should be visual not verbal. I don't want a lecture, overlong treatment of some oppressive media baron's home, or Bill Gates house for that matter. Still the rest of the time there was some great scenery.

One of those Shows the Whole Family can Enjoy Together
I watch the show Aerial America to bring back memories of the Fantastic places that I have seen while traveling this Amazing Country. I, also use Aerial America to find places I would love to see in the future. Aerial America is one of those shows that I can watch with my Parents and even youngsters and each generation is enjoying the show. Sharing experiences with the adults and explaining the travel experience with the kids. The time flies very quickly while watching the episodes. Get together and share while learning about your Fantastic Country while watching this Blu-ray. P.S. The HD is Amazing.

possibly the best aerial video that I own !
This is an amazing video featuring some of the most dynamic terrain on earth and is also a rather long play too - 204 minutes . I was fortunate enough to get it on DVD so I can watch anytime I want on laptop computer .

Not captioned
I bought this dvd for my hearing impared son. The lable says "closed captioned" but it isn't. Tried every which way to access the captions with no success. My son's worn a hearing aid since he was 2, he's now 34. No captions was a very big disappointment.
