Believe you me. as one who as the G.E. was on the trip to Marietta, it was certainly no jolly. Two days in Atlanta and then fly to Denver, pick up a load of marines on exercise, back to Marietta and then home with the people we took to Marietta for the photoshoot. The only good bits were the Lockheed brief on the H.T.P. and the airborne photoshoot formatting on a photo ship Mitchell. The Mitchell pilot wasn't too keen on close formation with a Herk so our captain told him to fly along and we would do the formation bit. This did involve at one point trying to get the probe as close to the tail position of the Mitchell as possible, close enough to get the photographer laying in the open tailcone to move further back up the fuselage. Well done Obe!
