Cool video. Check out my 1960 Nellis Air show my dad made.

Listening to how well spoken Ruth is, perfectly grammatical, expressive, it makes it clear how far we have fallen in our culture. Compare her speech to the average person interviewed in media today and you can see they paid more attention in those days to cultivating language skills.

Ruth Elder -- "Our American Girl" -- speaks! Thanks for posting. Did you know that she almost beat Amelia Earhart in crossing the Atlantic?

hi leviterande- i know what your'e saying..even though basic aircraft design has changed very little over the years, there was something more honest and magical about the early times..have fun

[speedcrank]

just awesome! but i thought something the opposite of another writer..how LITTLE aircraft design has changed..these planes are extremely similar to modern ultralights!

[leviterande]

@speedcrank you took the words outa my mouth, nothing has changed, except materials and small adjustable things. airplane technology started :1903, ended unfortunately 1941

[leviterande]

something feels about this clip, it just seriously doesnt look like 1930, it look nowaday, the reporter, the guy, the boy training on the plane.. amazing
