This was a great article!
I saw "To Fly!" for the first time at the Smithsonian Air and Space Dulles location (Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center) on their IMAX screen two years ago. Definitely a film of its moment, and I can see how that influenced future science film documentaries.
My dad worked for Spitz doing Omnimax installations and planetariums, but I don't know any of the details. I would assume this was probably the late 70s or early 80s.
Depends on the film, you can easily make viewers nauseous watching TV. The iMax film To Fly, had an insanely long run because it gives people a gut wrenching feeling at a few points. And 'shaky cam' footage bothers a lot of people.
