A fine and beautiful film, 18 August 1999
Author: Christopher C. Owens (scavenger@surly.org) from San Carlos, CA, USA

I'm particularly a fan of the Pacific Northwest, including the Yukon and British Columbia territories of Canada, and also a fan of old airplanes and bush pilots, so maybe I would have liked this movie even if it didn't have a good plot or acting. However, I think the plot and acting are good as well!
