EP-1 “F-9 Cross Country is how we got here”

"F-9 Cross Country" is the earliest 8mm reel dated Nov 1970 but it contains footage from about 1969 - mid 1970 as judged from the log books. There is no voice to go with it. A large part of it is shot in the southwest likely during many cross country flights in a TF-9 over western Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The 8mm footage you see is largely uncut by me, this is how it came off the reel as edited by my father - “Mad Duck”

We meet Cobra and get the back story of how they met, joined the Navy, and both ended up as jet pilots in the Vietnam War, then later at Top Gun. Steve does great job narrating, explaining a lot of what & why we are seeing what we see as we flip through the log books keeping pace with the mp4. We get a few surprises along the way!
