- This video was shot around fifteen years ago and probably stuck in a cabinet for many of those years. Nope, I didn't shoot it. Yep, the tape has been returned to whom it was borrowed. Yep, someone may say "Wow, its been found!" Nope, I'll have very little idea who it is. Oh yeah..., I tried to fix the audio but appeared to be making it worse.
At work, at my local airport, at my computer club, and two aviation museums where I volunteer, I've had people loan me interesting aviation material because they know I love it. The tape with this material was included in a pile of several tapes for me to caruse. The tape was unlabeled and didn't have its write-protect tab removed. As soon as I started playing the tape and realized what it contained I ejected it, popped the write-protect tab, rewound it, and started downloading it into my computer. I then checked TH-cam and Google to see if there was anything like this on the web -- so far I haven't found anything! I was told a neighbor had passed it along because of their interested in aviation. Although my mother would probably disagree, I thought the tape was like finding a lost Rembrandt.
I recognized the B-25 "In The Mood" and think I've seen "Pacific Princess" somewhere along the way. The aerial scenes were shot from both "In The Mood" and a third B-25 painted in olive drab that I haven't identified yet. There will probably be some interesting comments.
Yep, two Grumman Mallards and an Albatross were also launched from the Carl Vison and will be shown in another TH-cam video.
Oh the liability wavers that must have been signed to do this!
Happy Centennial Of Naval Aviation in January 2011!
