I grew up in Omaha and I would have been nine years old when this film was made. My uncle worked at SAC and at some point was able to inspect Airforce One. He was extremely impressed with it.
I worked at SAC Headquarters bldg 500, when I was stationed at Offutt AFB. It was a fascinating experience working there. It was also my first assignment.
This was obviously before Skynet took over.
I grew up on a farm just outside Offut. I remember Capeart road being built right across our farm🫤
I love their motto..."Peace is our Profession"
Now that is some extraordinary photography, baseline JFK at work together with Lyndon and the Brass. Excellent stock footage of our 35th President.
The photo bomb 😀
My father was career AF and we were stationed all over and the worst base was Loring because there was nothing up there
I would like to go back in time and tell him not to try to destroy the federal reserve bank. He would be resting in a rocking chair now.
👍👍👌👌✌✌ Long live JFK!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what history!
December 7, 1962.
It is interesting that an official archive document of this presidential visit had no audio.
Great clip !. 2 take aways ...after landing, a small orange truck with sign " follow me " , and after JFK deboarded , there was a Marine of color standing behind him. .
The security forces.......wearing their revolvers cross draw...........so cool
We stationed at Offutt then I was 11 and mom sister and I went down see the president. Dad was on duty elsewhere
Why why is there no sound?
Are all these videos Public Domaine?
There is a base close to where I live, Fairchild AFB was SAC now they just call it Strategic Command it is also a main refueling base. This could be it?
