Travolta? Jolie? anyone else?

Well....neither of my media escapades made me a celeb, but I did
do the flying scenes in one of Hollywood's poorer excuses for a
movie entitled "Last Plane Out" and also had a major speaking role
in one of Walter Cronkite's 20th Century documentaries entitled
"Russian Ships Off Our Coast".

"Last Plane Out" was about an American reporter leaving Managua,
Nicaragua (and his Nicaraguan girlfriend) just before the fall to
the Sandinistas. It was directed by David Nelson, and starred
Jan-Michael Vincent and Mary Crosby.
We had one B-707 that through the magic of vinal stick-ons played
the part of two or three different airplanes.
Sometime in the early '80s as I recall.

Back in the early '60s, Kronkite came to Brunswick, Maine to do a
doumentary about the large Russian trawler fleet fishng just off
the New England coast (Georges Bank) and the spy ships that were
hiding among them doing ELINT. As the Air Intelligence Officer, I
was shown briefing a VP-21 SP-2H crew prior to their takeoff.

Never could pronounce the names of those Russian Ships. :-(
Hmmmm....I wonder if HECTOP is still out there somewhere?
