Both Fort Worth Flyovers are shot by helicopter and feature aerial views of the city, primarily the downtown area. Fort Worth Flyover II begins with a leisurely daytime view of the city, as well as a CareFlite air ambulance helicopter flying below. The audience is then zoomed around Fort Worth at night, followed by a similarly speedy daytime view.
Flyover II, like its predecessor, ends with a shot hovering over the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History itself, where a crowd waves and cheers from the roof near the Noble Planetarium's dome (in the later film, decorated as a volcano to promote for the Omni's 1992 engagement of Ring of Fire).
The building pictured in the flyover was demolished in late 2007 to make room for a new museum facility, to be built on its existing site. An updated version of the flyover will likely be produced when the Museum opens its new building in fall 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The content of a thought depends on its external relations; on the way that the thought is related to the world, not on the way that it is related to other thoughts.”
—Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
“Perchance the time will come when we shall not be content to go back and forth upon a raft to some huge Homeric or Shakespearean Indiaman that lies upon the reef, but build a bark out of that wreck and others that are buried in the sands of this desolate island, and such new timber as may be required, in which to sail away to whole new worlds of light and life, where our friends are.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
