Another 16mm film from my collection in a series about careers that was made for high school students, but this one made in Philly! As usual I transferred this reel with my own Telecine and corrected as best I could. Enjoy!

Amazing how seamlessly you've flipped the sections of music backwards between the speech.
why does the music sounds like it's playing backwards?
A blast from the past! Thanks for sharing, Fran.
interesting..there's a lot of Delta footage, most of the other carriers shown here are gone now, like Seaboard & Hughes Airwest
Nice to see Educational films get a second life on your channel . Good work on your behalf
I've already predicted big problems in the aviation industry when it comes to recruitment. We're seeing a massive shortage of ATC workers but within 10 years there'll also be a dearth of designers, engineers, technicians and pilots. Why? Simple… the FAA is in the process of over-regulating the hobby of flying RC model aircraft out of existance. You'll see that the importance of RC model aircraft was acknowledged early in this footage with an RC model glider being featured. This hobby has traditionally been a gateway to a career in aviation for many. Even the first man on the moon (Neil Armstrong) was an avid model flyer in his formative years. By imposing ridiculous levels of over-regulation, the FAA is effectively decimating the hobby and relegating its members to small grassy fields in the middle of nowhere, rather than exposing the public to the hobby through models flown in parks and schoolgrounds (as used to be the case).
How ironic that the FAA is spending so much time, effort, money and resources demanding that even a small 8-ounce RC foam model of a Piper Cub has a Remote ID tracking device fitted — while they seem unable to oversee Boeing sufficiently to avoid their planes falling apart over Portland 😞
The death toll from the recreational use of multirotor drones stands at zero — in all of time, across the entire face of the planet — yet they're increasingly being regulated to ridiculous levels. Meanwhile, hundreds have died as the result of Boeing's focus on profit over safety — all under the watchful gaze of the FAA.
It is interesting to note that in this old film the blue dye seems to have all but vanished… leaving predominantly green and red coloring. I wonder if color-grading the video could help restore some naturaly tones to the footage – but then again, that might damage the "character" of the footage. It's old and the bleaching of the blue dye is just a function of that age I guess.
My aviation career started by winding up the rubber band, and ended when the balsa wood plane crashed into a fence! The propeller got stuck in the fence, and rest of the plane began to spin instead. It smashed the wings and broke off the tail section.
My granddad just commented "Well, not everyone is cut out to be a pilot!"
Sweet lol
Did anybody else notice the music was in reverse
17 to 60 thousand per year in 1974 would be a really good income….not shabby at all for the time.
Love the training on makeup they were giving the stewardess
1974 and it almost hasn’t changed at all. FAA basically froze progress for 50 years
