NickDG 23 #1 August 18, 2008 This is Arthur Godfrey, an early U.S. radio/TV personality, in a film about flying. The best part is where he takes an Eastern Airlines (anyone remember them?) Constellation up for a flight. Check out the part where once he reaches cruise altitude he says, "Boy, now I need a Chesterfield!" http://www.archive.org/details/Flyingwi1953 http://www.archive.org/details/Flyingwi1953_2 NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JerryBaumchen 1,468 #2 August 18, 2008 Hi Nick, In a way Arthur Godfrey is why I ended up being a jumper. When I was about 15 or so I was home sick one day. I was watching his daytime tv show and he mentioned that he had made a jump. I thought 'WOWEE, I gotta try that.' Well, nine years later I went out for just the one jump ( I thought that anyone who jumped more than once was probably rather suicidal ) and never to look back. Oh how things did not work out as planned . . . . .JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
