DESCRIPTION : Flying with Arthur Godfrey
7:23:19- 7:23:31 An old (Wright Brothers style) plane sails through the air (nice sounds). Cut to a medium close up after it has landed. 7:25:02- 7:25:18 Excellent aerial view above old military planes (World War I vintage) crisscrossing in the air. Cut to another angle of the same planes shooting up and down in the sky. The final shot shows one of these planes nose diving to the ground. Looks like stock footage. 7:40:40- 7:41:11 Nice image of a plane coming towards the camera (we're viewing it out the window of another plane)-it zooms under us, and there's a cut to a full view of it. The plane is shiny and silver against the clouds and blue sky. Cut to image of it going sideways into the clouds-we can see the ground below. 7:44:49- 7:45:00 Over-the-shoulder (of the pilot) view as a plane is landing-we see the ground getting closer to us (blurry clusters of houses below). Cut to view of the belly of the plane as the landing wheels emerge. 7:45:15- 7:45:33 Gorgeous series of shots as a plane lands. First we view the landing from the cockpit, second under the belly of the plane (we see trees, houses, and the airport's runways), third back to the cockpit, and finally back to the belly. 7:50:41- 7:51:11 Great night shot of plane landing-all we see are the lights of the runway. 8:01:10- 8:01:41 Nice dramatic image of a fighter plane diving. Cut to another, less dramaticangle of a fighter plane. We can see land below in square plots-looks like a map.
