7:35 I love how you show Martin Caiden flying his JU-52 Iron Annie .circa 1977 , most likely at the TICO airshow in Titusville.......note the DC-6 tires and wheels the plane was retrofitted with along with the Pratt and Whitney 1340 radial engines....the plane is still flying in Europe and is owned by Lufthansa. .he was the author of Cyborg which the 6 Million Dollar Man was based on and the author of over 100 aviation related books, living from many years in Cocoa Beach....he also authored the book Marooned which the movie was based on...
I was born in Orlando in 1961. I've known of a few of these military bases and heard some of the stories of these men and women. Now I know so much more. I am proud of these people for what they have done for the Central Florida community and for our Country. Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing this video.
