Awesome movie.. Love the good ole days.. 5 stars

Awesome Interesting choice of music :))) We looked goofy back then.

Gosh I miss the days of tube socks and Adidas and glow-powered balsa models covered in that new-fangled Monokote.

My first glow powered plane was a Baby Flite Streak! Fun to watch this stuff.

Wow! Reminds me of when, as a kid, I went with my dad to the Nats at Glenview NAS in the 60s/early 70s. He wasn't good enough actually to compete, but enjoyed getting inspired by those who were. It was mostly young men and their kids in those days. How times have changed. Thanks for the memories.

Anyone who was there will remember just how hot Lake Charles could be. Thanks for the vid, brings back memories.

Many thanks! Great video

Best camera work I've seen.

Wonderful footage! Thanks so much for sharing!

Nice threads boys.

Who exactly was Lanny Shorts I wonder. Whomever, Lanny shot a lot of film and really covered it. Really cool.

Lanny was one of the directors for several years. He and the other CD Arlie Preszler came up with many of the changes to the nationals that are still in effect today. And he liked to shoot movies.

Thanks for posting this awesome footage of this event👍👍 BTW what's the name of that song play's at the 18:47 spot?

Any video from other categories from that year?

I have the 1975 Nats, and a WAM contest from about 72 or 73. That's it.

@@deadpoetclan4652 If you get around to editing and posting the 75 Nats, that would be great. I went to the 75 Nats with Arlie and your dad in the brown van. Drove that thing a bunch of miles across AZ, NM and TX. I was probably at that WAM contest also. I didn't fly stunt so probably not in the videos.

LOOK MUM... NO SAFETY CAGE

The songs don't permitted to listen to engine's symphonia.....
