Best of the West was released in the late '80s and was a classic for airshow enthusiasts. Footage includes 101 different performers and aircraft, most of which have not flown in 10 to 20 years. Each aircraft/performer is titled at the beginning of their segment. From warbirds to the SR-71, the ability to see these planes fly is a rare experience. Flight Video Magazine decided to re-release this old classic due to the number of requests for past airshow classic performances. The footage runs from 1985 to 1989 and covers airshows from the western U.S. and Canada. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels get double billing with the team flying both the F-18 Hornet and the A-4 Skyhawk.
