I agree.COLUMBUS, OHIO; Page 69 COLUMBUS - ITEM 32 OPEN WITH LS OP FIELD, PLANES LINED UP, ONE LANDING ON RUNWAY REAR WITH PARACHUTE DRAG OUT BEHIND TAIL. CAMERA PULLS BACK TO RE- VEAL THAT WE HAVE SEEN VIEW PROM INSIDE THE CONTROL TOWER.. (BEGIN PULL BACK 3 SECONDS AFTER COMING TO COLUMBUS) WE SEE TOWER ACTION, MEN MOVING, ETC., THEN CAMERA PANS RIGHT TO SCAN A SIGN FOR 3 BEATS WHICH SAYS: "STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND, _____ SQUADRON OR WING". THEN MOVES PAST SIGHT TO GO TO RADIO DESK. WE SEE MEN AT MIKES. CAMERA PAUSES 2 BEATS AS TOWER AUDIO COMES UP LOUD THEN MOVES PAST AND BACK OUT A WINDOW. WE SEE A LINE OF B-47 BOMBERS. TRUCK FULL OF PILOTS IS MOVING DOWN RAMP. MEN ARE RUN- NING TO PLANES. CAMERA ABOARD TRUCK MOVING DOWN LANE OF PLANES. OFF CAMERA AND PACING OUR TRUCK A VEHICLE IS DROP- PING OFF BOMBER CREWS SO THAT AS WE PASS EACH PLANE A THREE-MAN CREW IS SPRINT- ING TO IT IN FOREGROUND. VOICE OF AIR FORCE: That?╟╓s our job -- to fly those planes. Our mission ... to keep them flying. You can?╟╓t forget the reason when it makes sense ... a lot of it, here at Lock- born Air Force Base, headquarters 91st Strategic Recon. Bomb WLng?? TOWER RADIO: This is Air Force 8759 calling Lockborn Tower. OPERATOR IN TOWER: Come in Air Force 8759, etc. (BACKGROUND AUDIO ON FIELD) VOICE OF AIR FORCE: Lockborn is a combat ready post. Combat and ready to keep it clear up there .. clear of an enemy over our heads. MUCH DIFFERENT ACTION IS OCCURING AT EACH PLANE. BESIDE ONE A MECHANIC IS ADJUSTING THE HOOD, AT AN- OTHER PLACES LADDER, DOES SOMETHING AT STILL ANOTHER. AS CAMERA TRUCK REACHES LAST PLANE, TRUCK VEERS SLIGHTLY OFF PATH AND MOVES FURTHER AWAY FROM PLANE.
