As with much of the old 16mm film we run across this one is pretty beat up. The only reason I decided to try and save it was because of all of the identifiable vintage aircraft in it. Here is a list of what I was able to glean from this old film. It was taken sometime between 1960 and 1963. I am betting on 1960 because of some of the Cole Brothers history I read but am probably wrong. There is a lot of really great history in this film and I am sure there are folks out there that could add something to what I have put here.
