1970 GM Monte Carlo Commercial ~ Super Bowl IV ~ Canadian Broadcasting Co. ~ Santa Catalina Island
Here’s a 1:00 1970 GM Monte Carlo Commercial, that aired at the end of the 1st Qtr. of Super Bowl IV on the Canadian Broadcasting Co. (CBC) Network on Sunday January 11, 1970. What is of special interest, is that the commercial was shot on Santa Catalina Island — 26 miles off the coast of Southern California… but, the “illusion” is that it is shot in Monte Carlo, in the south of France… That’s advertising for ya’… Enjoy!
My First Flight Lesson – Jan 28, 2012
First flight lesson as a birthday present. We took off in a fixed-wing 172 Cessna Skyhawk at Long Beach Airport and flew over the coastlines of Redondo Beach and Rancho Palos Verdes, Long Beach port, and near Catalina Island. I controlled the steering for most of the flight time, minus the landing. Special thanks to my parents and Rob Greham! SCENE SELECTION: Since watching an entire 14-minute video can be boring, I divided the video into “parts”, so that you can choose to jump to a next “scene”. 1. Take-Off & Climb from Long Beach Airport (0:00) 2. View of the Redondo Beach & Rancho Palos Verdes shoreline (4:32) 3. View of Catalina Island & Pacific Ocean (6:27) 4. View of Long Beach ports (9:19) 5. Landing at Long Beach Airport (11:26)
