My review of this:
http://www.movie-wave.net/living-in-the-age-of-airplanes/
I agree with this in your review: "As I said at the opening, this is not a score of great dramatic depth but rather an unabashed celebration of joy and positivity."
It's a rare opportunity to hear a Horner score without the danger motif or otherwise suspenseful/scary sections. That makes this all the more fun to listen to from start to finish. This one's quickly moving up the list of my favorite Horner scores.

Same here. I just love this score.

Wow! Just watched the Blu-ray DVD "Living in the Age of Airplanes"! Stunning and beautiful beyond words and what a tribute to James Horner! Your appreciation for this score will only be enhanced by seeing the visuals to this gorgeous music. If this is not enough (and it is believe me) there are the extras. The extras include additional music not heard on the soundtrack that HAS to be James Horner. Deleted scenes include Hawaii and Alaska with glorious music that again is NOT heard on the soundtrack. Also a mesmerizing recreation of the yellow bi-plane flight from "Out of Africa" only this time set to the music of James Horner! Buy this now! Turn the lights off! Crank up your sound system and become immersed! Immersed in the pristine sights and one of the best James Horner's scores to be embraced and enjoyed as a lasting legacy of his passion and bittersweet love for flying!!!!
You're right, the film is gorgeous. I have had a look at these bonus features and I'm not convinced that the music heard in the Alaska and Plane Spotting shorts is from Horner's score. I don't hear any references at all to the main themes heard in the film proper, and I would be shocked if the producers would have left these pieces off the soundtrack had they been composed by Horner. I hope I'm wrong.

I have confirmation from the producers that the music used in the extra features (Hawaii, Alaska, Plane Spotting) is not by Horner but rather consists of library cues licensed from various sources.

There is actually a piece missing from the album: The opening of "History of Transportation". On the album it begins with the rhythmic strings and percussion, but in the film it opens with a vintage-style piano solo that plays over old black and white archival footage of the early 20th century, giving way to the rhythmic strings and percussion.
I noticed that, too, and wish the piano solo appeared on the album.

As one of the more senior members of our FSM group, I've grown up with the conflicting impulses of "I-want-a- physical-CD-and-I-want-it-now!" and the time-tested temperament of "Just-wait-and-it-will-come-out-on-a-CD-if it's-any-good."
But it's James Horner and I just couldn't wait. So I bit my lip and did the Amazon download. It's good...DAMN good. And I'm quite happy with my decision. Don't hesitate, unless you can stand waiting for the spring release of the CD.
