Sacramento Aerials - ca. 1978

Join helicopter pilot/reporter Dann Shively and KCRA's AIRWATCH in the skies over Sacramento, California, and surrounding areas in the mid to late 1970s. We see the reconstruction of Old Sacramento and the California State Capitol, various freeways and overpasses, farmland, and shots of the Folsom Dam, Sutter's Mill, El Dorado Hills, and dozens of other locations. This footage comes from two different b-roll sources shot on different days from the KCRA Collection at the Center for Sacramento History.
Hundreds of other historic films from the KCRA and KOVR collections can be seen at: archive.org/details/centerfor...

I can see the Weisntock's Downtown Plaza store up there which opened in November 1979.

1:10 I can see the parking garage for what is now part of California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. Crazy!

450 N? That building needs some serious sage smudging.
