RED BARON BLUES is a love story set in the turbulent world of modern corporate pilots...and yes Snoopy as the Red Baron plays a key role.
A young female pilot, Mona, after being "grounded "by the FAA for 6 months, has to take a job working the front desk at a glider themed resort in the Napa Valley. While there, she falls in love with Will, the son of the owner (Will is also a pilot who flies a Fed-Ex 747).
The resort is in deep financial trouble because people have stopped coming for glider rides. Mona saves the day by staging a "Red Baron's Birthday Festival" featuring WWI bi-planes and arranging them to offer "laser-tag aerial dogfights." The aerial dogfights are so popular, the resort is booked ahead for months, and the resort is saved.
When Mona's FAA suspension ends, she must choose between staying at the resort with Will, or returning to her career as a globe-trotting pilot. Will warns her that doing so will ultimately break them up, but Mona can't believe it. Ultimately the long absences when both pilots are away from home does lead to a heartbreaking romantic disaster.
10 years later after Mona has become Captain of a Gulfstream corporate aircraft, she meets Will again - at the same airport where they first met. After a brief reunion where they remember the good times, Will departs in a small military jet fighter, and we get the feeling that their love story hasn't ended...it has just begun!

Snoopy as the Red Baron should be licensed for a short animation that leads into the live-action of RED BARON BLUES. He should be prominently displayed on banners during the 'Red Baron Birthday' sequence. (Snoopy is the property of the Charles Schultz estate). If a license of Snoopy is unavailable, then a similar type of cartoon character should be created as it will instantly communicate to audiences that RED BARON BLUES is a unique flying love story suitable for the whole family.
