...Thanks for posting this...I was born in Denver in 1953 and live near Idaho Springs now... ...that shot of West Colfax/Hwy 40 is just incredible...out in the country then...well within the metro area now...
I see a lot of Glenview NAS based aircraft with the "V" on the tail not to mention the orange band with the word, "Glenview" on many of the aircraft seen in the film. Perhaps some of this was filmed at Glenview. Notice the Milwaukee Road diesel passenger train at 5:52 (the Milwaukee Road tracks were just to the east of the air station). Nice color film, love the interior PBY-5 interior shots, and thanks for sharing!

I like that your grandad recorded nothing but awesome shots. No footage of him just meandering and looking at pointless stuff. Just pure killer shots.
