Dateline: Chicago - Victor Airway 84

Year Published: 1964

Creator: NBC

Description: Kinescope (filming of TV broadcast monitor) from Nov. 1964 of "Dateline: Chicago - Victor Airway 84", a TV series produced by an NBC affiliate station in Chicago. Covers how air traffic control worked at the time, along with new developments in the field, with a focus around Aurora and O'Hare. Being a kinescope, quality wasn't great- did what I could to correct for artifacts of filming a monitor, tried to even it out and made corrections to improve clarity. Audio has some "noise" I was unable to fully remove, unfortunately the soundtrack area of the film had a pretty rough scratch going for most of the program. Also tried to process audio as I could to improve clarity of the pilots and ATC operators. This kinescope contained blank sections where it would have gone to commercial breaks, so I cut and crossfaded those sections. Fully closed-captioned. *Contact Regarding Usage* Credits: Writer & Producer - Harry Mantel Director - Bill Heitz Film Editor - Colman Rusnak Cameramen - Charles Boyle, Emile Montemurro, Bob Pasquale, Bruce Powell Film Sound - Richard Oakes, Steve Welsh, Everett Ryan, Paul Allen Film Lighting - Sam Savitt, Bill Markstahler Technical Director - Frank Schnepper Audio - Fred Scheunemann Executive Producer - Les Crystal Narrator- Charles Heath Interviewer- Peter Hackes 0:00 Introduction 1:14 Program Begins 7:09 ATC Crew Chief Interview 8:50 General ATC Operations, Radar 14:40 Spokesman Max Perrin Interview 15:37 FAA's David Thomas 16:10 Control Center Operations, cockpit 21:50 Peter Hackes interviews David Thomas #AirTrafficControl #Jetliners #AviationHistory #Chicago #O’Hare #Aurora #1964 #Kinescope #NBC #ATC #DatelineChicago #Victor84 #AviationTech #VintageTV #BroadcastFootage
