I am not monetized nor will I ever be. I have uploaded this in order so people can enjoy this wonderful work by Melissa Hunter since the studios kept her from doing more.

This was digitized from an old VHS tape we had at the hangar. You were usually shown this at indoc. Note the flight times and distances. This is an old advertisement shown in movie theaters back in 1933.

This is footage of the horrible crash of a B-17G and a P-63F during the Wings Over Dallas Airshow on 20221112. I've also included the NTSB initial B roll. After watching different footage, it looks like the P-63F was flying a staggered right echelon formation with two P-51's that were in a turn. The P-63F strayed into the area that was in use by the B-17G. Because of the angle of the turn, the P-63F could not see the B-17G. Also, the only way the B-17G could have seen the incoming Bell aircraft would have been if she had a full combat crew of 10 manning all positions. Since the aircraft involved are older, the NTSB will not have black boxes to interrogate.

This was a film that the employees and management of Midway Airlines put together on the airline when they closed their doors in Chapter 7. There is a V formation flyby at MDW. Some of the management went on to create Reno Air. This is from a video tape we had lying around the hangar at SFO. There is slur used in this video that is printed on the screen when an employee appears. So watcher beware. To my knowledge, this is the only digitized version of this film. I never worked for Midway, but had the pleasure of working with some of the folks in this video over the decades of my career.

This is video of the celebration with a speech from General William Lyon for 20 years of Air California and it's impending merger with American Airlines. It includes some older commercials and a fashion show of the flight attendant uniforms worn during those 20 years. Later that year, American Airlines acquired Air Cal. This was from a video tape we had at the hangar in SFO that came up from SJC when that station was dehubbed.
