The clip with AVM Gus Walker was, I believe, taken at Nellis Field when Gus led a force of 4 Vulcans from 617 sqdn, to attend the World Congress of Flight, held in Las Vegas in '59.The pilot on the right is Sqdn Ldr Davenport 'B' Flt Commander. I was a very young cpl tech at the time and as you can imagine in those days, it was the 'jolly' of a life time. Gus passed himself off to the local press as the original one armed bandit! They loved him.
