Received this years ago from ABEX (now DHL). It was in a packet of info when I applied for a position with them. Was taken during opening ceremonies of their Ohio location.
I have seen a video of the pass but it's been years.

This is why what we now call PTSD causes so much trouble. All of these exciting things were over after the war and anything at home couldn't compare. The birth of the Hell's Angels came from this lack of excitement.

The Carpetbaggers did it at night. One of my uncles flew with them and told stories of pulling up to miss steeples.
