what
right
this is to be able it
about flying
my very favorite subject
faith is that that i've read it took about
especially during this fiftieth anniversary year
howard flight
first i'd like to talk about radio and television so they've been mighty look
to this country boy
this is the way i make my living
what makes that living was wild
is to get out there
well blueyonder
in a good airplanes but the whole universe fleet
but just because it's it's real
although it certainly is that
but because i like to think
an aviation
as far as it has advanced
it certainly has couple of late
is still very uh...
well we've come a long way since the days with
my good friend
the ace of aces captivity rickenbacker
used to fly around in france post bag
the dean of aviation
just think he's been trying for nearly forty years
whites only fifty years since the wright brothers
they called me one of the old-timers in aviation
i did begin to fly in earnest nineteen twenty nine
such tests almost twenty five years ago that i would
i've done more flying in the last three years provided the first twenty-two
with initially
i have been commission to the table reserved since nineteen thirty-nine
but because of the golden dreams of violating
the bureau of medicine and surgery
wasn't clear before military airplane flying
until nineteen fifty
so it was in nineteen fifty in september
that i got my baby wings at pensacola
their heaviest day of my life
since that time
i have qualified as a carrier pilots
as a jet pilots
as a helicopter pilot
and here
is the coveted maybe green ticket
the highest instrument rating given to baby pilots
because i'm very proud
of all of these military
but here's what he is that they can very very very happy
this is the certificate
that captivity rickenbacker gave me recently
making the cholera captain
into their lives
so i was saying claims a couple of where the last fifty years
here's one very much like that what was the wright brothers used
is to make forty to fifty miles an hour
still want to is around two
it's a funny look at atria
but most of the basic principles we used to date with developed in this plane
didn't fly high
life about by golly
translated overgrown box right
well you could take it from the issues like the ones who would you like this
but the expression of fly above the city offense
well this is where it came from
system this old bucket seats right here
to the wright brothers had no instruments of any kinds of little oil
gauge down here tells you get someone of pressure active
at this stage this column of this we'll exactly the same as we have in the big
airliners up to date
without which the state forward
knows that flip it comes down it pushes the tail up for the most them
by subversive this way
want to drop the right wing do it this way
left with this way
and here are the rotor bars
at work the writers of the tape
you see the principles were the same then as they participate
here is a model of the spread
the airplane that captivity rickenbacker fluid world war one
only ten to twelve years after the wright brothers first flight
it's a shame that it had to be used as a weapon of destruction social but
war brought that up
this is captain rickenbacker in the plane made famous in world war one
film show the dashing young skipper of the ninety-four squadron leading his
voyage into adult
that half of the ring insignia was always present with the fighting with
the kids
the wild blue yonder was really wild in those days
when i was just so much wouldn't campus between you and the end of the between
you and the crowd
down in flames was the rule rather than the exception
they had no protection they had no parachutes
here's they paid a high price but it was through catholic and bankers exploits in
world war one at the terrific fighting power in the airplanes was made known to
man
this little sped carried a very powerful engine for those days and often flew up
to a hundred and thirty five miles an hour straight down
there aren't many of them laugh
becomes one of those old timers now
and look who's playing it it's captivity of one of those
captain rickenbacker many women as i want to get in this email to sell
alright barrier uh... i don't feel the pain of the control booth will be needed
well frank let's brings back for a lot about what is that there's some good
sometimes that uh... but
led the way that that uh... regardless about their morning is the
sit around up there twenty thousand people of the suburb of bad wedding but
they've got a bit but there's the come around twenty thousand feeding that open
confidant
liberia and he didn't pressurized standards
the cold
overall how it sure was
fact that the tobacco products in order to call that their
yes arthur some wonderful shipments but the fact that
wire stratton
fall together with all of these wonderful commendation
back matters they are not old enough
engine and machine guns
yes question
anything
others so
drawer among the other hand
ecologically
super transpiration all metal
one and that the other romanov
or perhaps proper infected
kind of metal narva front problem that structure
just take a look at that
super constellation folks
a hundred and fourteen feet long
with the wing span of a hundred and twenty three feet
floor of the latest compound engines of thirty two hundred fifty horsepower eat
do you realize how much power that is
why each engine has more power than the locomotive
this plane can fly up to around four hundred miles an hour
and we are going to take a ride in it
let's hear what captain idiocy
five thirty
those wheels are always almost as much as them
by the way there comes a crew
uh... thick
isaac fire
about you
operably driving a truck parked
just one hour from now
outrage
route wrongs you fellows are going to do the flyer miles or who are not avoca
drugs on their back yard
we're going to take the other economic scheduled flight
from new york to miami
only this time
you're covered up for the cockpit with us
we're going to show you what goes on behind the scenes
regular weekly
okay sir osceola mo unit
uh... photo exhibit michael kept it for two days trip
there's a skeptic meryl
over twenty five years with ease that airline pose the greatest guys the best
pilots ever lived
i'm sure you'd always exploits as well as i do
everyone
he was the first pilot supplier commercial flight across the atlantic in
return
raised a catholic
that's exactly right let's check out for scheduling dynamic going out of the

the clerk nuts the position of each plane on route
as reported by radio at the time deal with the next checkpoint
we fill out our flight plan with the dispatcher giving our executive flaky
elocution molecule of so-called a copy of this will be filed with the
government airways traffic control a_d_r_s are out of that material
the dispatcher gives us official clearance and on our way
everything ok role

pays passes captain first round of golf as in half
as a full of it
thank you
that's what i'd like to see that
well feel close to benefit up on the flight deck before
this is a
after that the pilot
at the flying controls at their fingertips at all times
well over here the engineer is very busy
which it is true
these are the
rivals
just like the accelerated zydico one for a change
c
this is the control follow-up
and with a few flying airplanes

this is the plastic companies

they came over here
this is the army arrange bearing indicator
as the localize that blood test

well political thoughtful that almeida
this is the artificial horizon
shows the attitude of our plane reference to the real rights
because you know
we have radio contact at all times ship the ship'*** the ground

privileged subject to make before
we start down the runway to take on
okay *** lugar before starting engines chica right academics immediately
available rex tobacco
and so on and three thirty nine separate i'd ask
now you passengers wonder why we sit and wait sometimes at the end of the runway
it is because the captain and the copilot of the crew are making these
additional last minute shekhar
well i guess we are ready to write about ***

i thought you would not be a jog around that one's wife
filling up the spot
paul boy this is the life
that battle
a day goes that northbound schubert felt good
that's one of the eastern airlines wonderful twin-engine planes the new
type that as you proceeded with the love of the old d_c_-three
it's the most advanced twin-engine commercial plane in the air today
she carries forty people attic cruising speed of around three hundred miles an
hour
one of the most comfortable airplanes you could give ur rite aid
the studios is there was a big of passengers from intermediate warnings to
connect with these big issue regarding
so wonderful airplane that silver falcon
smells like to be really getting ready to serve in a baghdad
one of our sovereignty if anyone cares for you thank you
like did you think
i guess
and
let's not allow theater levi
credit card
down people often ask me i can figure out how you know there's a good weather
and all related but how do you know we need when you're up over the clouds and
over the ocean
well honestly it's so simple i i hate to tell you
well for directions
we have the compass
the automatic direction find it
and the army range receiver
let me show you how that works take take over for a minute william
book let me show you how it works
well picks this up here draw you a little man
has gone down here we draw the coastline down through atlantic city undoubtedly
wilmington myrtle beach on down the coast very crudely
were flying alone out here somewhere
we've got it on the radio station here in atlantic city we've got another one
here at norfolk and we've got another one down here at myrtle beach
so we can do this station here
and other legal battle window i showed you a minute ago it says that we bear
from that stations say three hundred degrees
well we draw a line of three hundred degrees magnetic troop bearing right
through that station which extends out here somewhere
we are somewhere along that line but where
*** so we can win this next patient down here and that once it is in the
little window that we have got a bearing of say two hundred and sixty degrees
so we draw a line through that station at two hundred sixty degrees true and
wear those two items cross
that is where we are right there
no blues news of you are as a guard by and we are now approaching miami
rally show you what takes place in our approach in our landing
time for us to start a gradual descent
but first we have to get clearance to approach
rigid
kicked our amazing sex on
error
is just a few of them up for that one
character in the this
them
okay declared that five sixty percent flat
backgammon sixteen
there
your going to happen

engineer one
any present plans upbringing
graham
memory president biljana propellers
pushed the airport in this dot the place
we see that activity probable break
but next time when you're writing in the mail and that you hear the engines roars
so that you're on the ground remember that's what he's doing refreshing abrupt
this about the airplane
well here we are at schedule
healthy fortune so if this is what's review
courses was purely a district leader
routine flight was beautiful weather
but maybe we've been able to show you something she hadn't seen before
which adult
i'll bet you right now some of the u_s_ and will sure this was basically lovely
weather but what happens when the weather is bad
well believe me
it's
still rooting
you see in the first place
up for these super connie's filled most of the flying
the weather is always nice
way up but top of all the bad weather
usually it's only approaches to our airports that when it becomes any
problem with that not much
long as we have uh... half a mile of visibility and two hundred for this
evening
no problem at all
now these venom of this error opportunity set up by the civil
aeronautics administration
in the interest of general safety
actually
weakened by end of one of these airplanes when the minimum zero zero
zero
let me show you
that we are playing an instrument
there in the clouds
one of those nights at the birds are david walker
we have been cleared to make an instrument approach we have been cleared
to the other markers
display we call the other markers is located approximately five miles from
the end of the runway
a light flashes on the cockpit and
at the same side of the a_t_f_ legal indicates the presence of the market
we also get an audio signal
at this point the glide representative
the glide path is a sloping radio pecan
that which the aircraft should make its decision to the runway
that is indicated
by the horizontal needle
when the natal is said it
the aircraft is on the glide path
if the nato most of us at uh... the aircraft as well
atlas climbed back to the fat
if the needle is below sent it
where high i think like that
this is a big help in itself
but in addition to the area lists the instrument landing system
we have g_c_
that his ground control approach
that give recreation of
valuable assistance radar monitoring haha
localize reports
measure approached the are marker
findings of this radar did you see a controller sees the approaching plane is
a bit of late moving out of school clinton directed safely to the airport
when the flight has been directed to the approach chorus
it is turned over to the radar monitor book final approach
craig early easter you're approaching me i a large part turned or adding up to
par seventy
and i'm trying your at the radar monitor park final approach
trailer monetary it's right on the scope this book like that that will collect it
any deviation gonna be detected in measured in feet
perform well speaking of the runway
certificate iraq of course distracting nicely it like that that's good
directory until the end of the runway
requested
but that's a little bit okay
characterized by another unaware
your course is good
now but you know marker
rollover partner
across much of a coveted
approach trying to do
thank you judy seeing
that column of lights ahead shows the approach to the end of the airport
runways
each borrow blankets a hundred feet apart that ball of light traveling away
from us in such a high rate of speed
is leading us straight to the approach into the runway itself
the green light to mark the start of the runway
the border lights on each side stretching out into the distance outline
a mile-and-a-half aviv's good just waiting for us to let you know
so you see it really is it so difficult
actually we use these lending aids every day in good weather in bed to keep in
practice
and practically all of the air force that we use are equipped with a
thing to remember is that it's all figured out
nothing is guesswork
it's still a routine
now i'm gonna show you the most amazing demonstration of powered an airplane
you've ever seen
let's go back at me
now watch this
that no one
better too
better too
them
logo that until engine
brendan on just like drinking
you haven't seen anything yet
method for me
an agreement
filed by a lot of them
on one end
gonna love this is that his delight
only a constellation the building
why do we have all that tremendous
reserve a power
because my
however means safety
that's why it is jeopardized elation
is the most dependable airline in the world today
okay hillel bring in water
and everyone
gi
you know these engines and then delete it best that we comply
they are maintained by the financial budget baby agent mechanics of the world
faintly years by ethan
lincoln and the best captains the best pilots of the world
didn't want to go to the end of the road
we've got the best mechanics in the business in the spring
wasn't that inspired confidence
there
than
where we'll have our jeanne thank you
but every day this player two ordinary life
but i'd always wanted to have one of my own view that when i was a kid
i've got two of them though
d_c_-three it in the area
and there are thousands of privately owned airplanes all over america today
this is the little airport
for landing strip the values when i fly on virginia
explaining the owned company in the air
single-engine plane
we could go almost anywhere that has all the technical facilities of instruments
that the big planes there
tragedy may be other evidence key three
attack by air force
it'll drug
probably well there's little feel really very good intention of outdated
para
mineral
wrong
about uh... didn't give a hundred update middle
like these are reciprocating injured three
we have the regular jet engines like we used to not military aircraft
this is a wacky two f ninety four c start fires
it's an air force
jet propelled fighter
cds
jet engine
contrary to what i'm afraid alright
are not the resource for instance cracked up to be
as a matter of fact
so quiet
so vibration list winter right behind one of them is a real comfort
we're hoping some day soon that our commercial transports
will be chippendale
you see a jet engine
has no propeller
the air is drawn in through the intake douglas
just for one of the wings
compressed enriched with burning fuels to produce a powerful jet of exhaust
gases
which are expelled apt
the mechanism involve the reality is much simpler
the propeller is replaced by an air compressor
is a combustion chamber
into which we enjoyed people to expand the aaron increases velocity
and installed it depends of the exhaust gases is determined to drive the
compressor
pre-event
this is my friend tommy daniel some member of our air forces for twelve
years
tommy is one of the thousands of fine young men who are making a career out of
the air force
sadie advantage of the wonderful training they receive
how do you like it i mean
the company's letter mister gottfried it's really wonderful
now i will have the pleasure of flying with tommy to be in some very exciting
seeds
so timely
well we got to do
well mister godfrey i'd like to take you through some follow-ups
the show you just put this airplane at the time to do and planning to altitude
rapidly
i'm sure you'll enjoy it
but it's just routine flying there as we do it every day
now before we take off i'd like to have your friends think a lot but the after
burner in the tail section it gives this airplane is terrific wallop
okay charlie will do it
this lucky stuff by air
is at all whether air force interceptor
she was designed especially to get off the ground quickly implants relative to
a very quickly
in the hope of being able to intercept in stock
any enemy bombers that might come over this way
calvert get up there quickly
she was designed with this map the border
with the tail section which is why i just feel such there's so much bigger
than any other jet fuel probably see
see those auxiliary engine back in here that uses exhaust gases as they pass
through report them
with greater efficiency giving additional thrust to the edges
that means something to watch it
fill up quickly and climb down into or avoid
i want to charlotte meetings so we're gonna fly by the first by the regular
check but so you can see and hear about before
and then we're gonna fly but with the after bergeron
and you'll see a little safely yourself you just watch
chief
home
done
we are putting it does make it
what generated play
and
the
now we are approaching when we have different
plus the increase in this blind
warm
well how do i get mister gottfried
all that life is a little i know it's a lot of the
but it was wonderful to see what the wrote
that's just a sample of this airplane to know mister gottfried
thank you tommy and this airplane can do much more as we're gonna see
here comes the man i was going to do it
and here it is the chief satisfied with lefties like the federal reserve the
however
it's good to see you well your favorite brought up for something arthur approx
around sorry are you serious to penetrate the sound barrier with a star
plan
i was with all the others play
but we have a camera specially rigged on the table to give you a close-up view of
what happens when you break the sound barrier
let me tell you what to watch for first noticed that the color of the sky and
how much darker it is at forty five thousand feet virtually will start is
done
you're not only far above the clouds but also about the days and best of the
lower atmosphere
you are looking at the bureau to violent dreams of outer space
fears that the law now listeners to sound builds up
usually there are two thunder claps
one when the plane runs away from it sounds
and the second when the sound pictures of the game
between the two
you are flying claxton of the speed of sound
decide allison illegal a pl
the sound barrier has been broken
this is the silence of supersonic flight
now the pullout is being made
listen to the knowledge whether some pictures out
put explosives esteem
some very spectacular flying
but that's what i'd like to thank to you is this
this spectacular as it looks it's not for party not without purpose
this airplane was built to take that kind of history
paul said was that there
even when you're flying faster than the speed of sound
this business of flying in the area board beverly figure out the last three
days
reject nothing but calculated risk
calculated you know
alright goodman
the very best
it's built supplied
you wouldn't make dives and pull outs like that with a
transport plane that was a bill to do that
this kind of an airplane was
where we would play with up out of that died there at the rate of about forty
five thousand feet of minutes
for a few seconds
even up big bombers
the b_-fifty so libby forty-sevens it flies so fast get their built supplies
strong
them all the bugs but worked out of
so that really
it is that something spectacular bid for the supplier
so prejudice dot every day
by personnel that's train very carefully by men who
hardcopy at the train
beyond a reasonable
your son
joins the airports or the naval air service
zealotry ever what you'll get the very best possible instruction
that every precaution will be made to look out for his safety
sure there's danger to workers danger the crossing the street
it takes a special breed of cat the flight leaves thing
if this can't be done by a team and be pending
that's why all of it you know what pilots are such wonderful young man
young fellas looking for adventure with different light
something you love every minute of it
you go to see that there is the air force recruiting officer
or their nearest naval officer procurement station
for the manifestation someplace
talk to about it
so wonderful life
you love the years that you spent there
and you'll use the experience all the rest of your day
we need to
so well let's get back to the mantle of those most about where air
transportation is gold
it does show a pretty good
what would you say we could look forward to it that you well i appreciate that
docking about jess
enough won't be long and there will be flying from new york by having a matter
of flowers
san francisco i'm five
from london five two five and a half hours
and about the truths in thirty five thousand feet for forty five thousand
fact will be landing and taking off most any kind of weapon
let's play this wonderful rick
plays a fly faster all of that
but would love to but this business of getting from the airport two thousand
down to the airport
douglas if that is that you wanted to do that with the flight report
agarwal
we're going to be doing something about that to occur
it won't be long and till you've the garden your midterm terminal
prairie of step into a
express celebrate urban west of the top of the building
farrakhan motives helicopter very awaiting
thank you thank you general
and deposit you with the main airport in just a matter of minutes
and not only from downtown hartford
we're going to have peter lines of helicopters coming in from all the
surrounding communities
we're gonna make flying
better and faster
we're going to make flying available for still more people
stiletto foot
rare privilege of a great honor to do this with you
i wanted to let
i hope we disapprove
akshara barber
god bless you always kept in god
faqs
well it was a relationship
did no
it was a rare privilege to fly with you today
about half the battle of the backup
where no one really president
reply to activate the alibi adventure
to remember
for the wonderful i a m
anywhere in the world
always to the airline
one of our planes doesn't go where you want to go with what you know what
