Very poor quality home movies of the start of "The 1927 Trans-Continental Air Dash" (of 1972). Created by Glenn Norman, Richard Bach & Michelle Goodeve. Nine Aircraft departed Mountain View AFB (near Belleville, Ontario). Seven made it to Delta Air Park, B.C. on the Pacific Ocean. "Officially," Rod "Cowboy" Keller came first, Richard Bach & Chris Cagle came second, and the remainder crossed the finish line - 3 days later - tying for 3rd place. (One aircraft crashed in Michigan. One Aircraft went down in the mountains. There were no injuries in either case.)
