Estupendo!!! Magnífico!!! Lastima q no habrá otro como Fred Astaire. Lo admiro y lo admirare ' siempre!!!

Toby says so many things that are right in this scene except for one thing. "They'll like us when we win." No, they won't. Their ideology is to ingrained in their being. Israel has been winning every war they have fought since 1948 and the fanatical muslim nations just keep on trying to destroy it. No matter what we do, there is no appeasing a people like that nor is there any way to beat them without absolute total destruction. Until the fanatics learn that THEY must learn to live with the rest of the world, there will be no peace.

Absolutely fabulous dancing, Fred was amazing! And I love it when he breaks the fourth wall to say "Oh, God, Ginger..." as they dance off the floor together. Just a delight!

Aircraft Maintenance School, Jan. - Feb. 1970. Off to Beale AFB, CA to work SR-71s in March.

I hope this "talk" never gets taken off KZbin. This is American history. He was one of the most legendary speakers ever.

This is awesome. Thank you.

My grand father was a master sargent in the parachute packing. His name was john porter. I belive he spent time here as well

Was stationed there twice. First for tech school then in 1978 as an instructor at the Dental School until the tornado hit in 1979. Left WF not soon after!

nothing has changed in 54 years. Mort Sahl so funny and intelligent

I was there from Mar - Dec 1970. Enjoyed seeing my dorm, White Hall, at the end of this video. Got trained as a 306F, Electronic Communications and Cryptographic Systems Repair. Lots of interesting memories. There was a movie theater in an old wooden building across the street. Used to hear random creaking and popping noises when you were in there watching movies. The building was deemed unsafe and closed. A short time later on a nice Sunday afternoon it totally collapsed into a pile of sticks. One of the best things was when I got my second stripe I didn't have to march to school anymore.

A real classic the MONTEREY, I think the last cruise line she sailed for was Mediterranean Shipping Cruises still having the same name. The MATSONIA, another fantastic ship. I think she later ended up with either Chandris Line as the ELLINIS or with Home Lines as the ITALIA .

Was there for tech school in 81

I was there from Nov 69 to Feb 70.

Фред Астер, потрясающе танцует,порхает..♥️🌸🥲

I arrived there Labor Day weekend 1965 for Loadmaster school. It was 117 degrees.

Never heard of this. Funny, and a clever use of the technology of the time.

Echoes of The Moose bit..."The moose mingles. Does well. Scores...." The story also included the lines that I will never not laugh at: "Twelve o'clock comes - they give out prices for the best costume of the night. First price goes to the Berkowitzes, a married couple dressed as a moose. The moose comes in second. The moose is furious. He and the Berkowitzes lock antlers in the living room. They knock each other unconscious...." kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp7RfYWMjMyhjrc

Just as I was discovering him on radio they pushed him aside. The station eventually flipped to a music of your life format in early 1982. As someone posted, this is 1981.

Heavy sigh

I was born there & we lived there 2 times. (Capehart housing. Pioneer St. & Century St.) After returning from Clark AFB, Philippines, my dad, SMsgt. Floyd Pollard, was a Master Instructor (comm. school) there from 1965/6-68. We then moved to Lindsay AS (Wiesbaden) where he retired from the USAF in 1971 after 28 years service. I was born there in May 1960. The hospital I was born in was destroyed by a tornado in like 1963/4. My little sister was born in the new hospital in 1967.

Stationed there in 64-65 Air Base Group, great memories there. I see they are still big on walking there, couldn't find the Airman's Club, pool, or flight line.

Great film! Thanks for sharing.

I met Gary at a party at a radio convention in 1996. He was kind of quiet and soft spoken. Like a lot of us radio people when we’re not “on.”

B&W kinescope

"I'm delighted to see so many grownups all in one room!"

Vintage footage! I was there April-November of '72 so I escaped most of the winter - but I SURE remember the summer. I was in one of the then-new "1000-man" twin dorms, which are now long gone. the only buiding number I remember is 1020 where our teletype maintenance course was taught. Times change.

Cool my grandpa was there in the late 60s

Wow I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to listen to this interview it is so refreshing to hear a host Ben Thum and his guest Mort Sahl actually having a discussion without talking over one another with dignity and respect. I understand why this interview won The LA Times Golden Mike Award..so interesting..thank you for sharing this..

There have only been a few mysteries left. We found out who Deep Throat is, we found out whom You're So Vain refers to, and now 11:00 "JFK was assassinated by the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff". Thanks Mort; all mysteries solved!

I remember the bus ride from Lackland to Sheppard. Everything looked the same, mile after flat mile.

I was stationed at Sheppard from 1966-1969 as a medical technician at the base hospital, 5th floor surgical ward. We lived in old wooden ww2 barracks along the flight line. I later volunteered for aeromedical school training and after graduation was sent overseas. I spent the balance of my enlistment flying to Vietnam to care for the wounded. My flying also took me to Japan, Guam, wake island, Thailand, Philippines, Okinawa and more.

Never knew this existed!

Probably 1 of the 1st times the term "misinformation" was used.

I was there November "72 through February "73 for Basic Medical and then Surgical Tech training. They managed to food poison about 400 of us at Thanksgiving and actually closed down our training school for several days while they tried to figure out what happened. Fun times and fond memories. I sometimes wonder whatever became of my classmates- Jim Brown, Dan Kleinfelter, Kay Freuh and a few others. Looks pretty much the same 3 years later including the snow,

I recently found Mort Sahl hes so funny even when he's being serious. Lovely man.

I was sent there after BT from Sep. 1979 to Jan. 1980 and was trained as a telephone linesman / cable splicer. Then I was sent to my first duty station, Norton AFB, California. My family lived about 60 miles away in East Los Angeles . I went home just about every weekend unless I was TDY. I went back to Sheppard in 1987 to learn how to splice fiber optic cable's. I had fun going back there twice.

School there in 1976 - Started in Aircraft Maintenance but was switched to Mainframe Computer Operations. Hung out at the Coffeehouse provided by the Chapel rather than the Airman's Club when I was off-duty. School was 2nd shift from Noon to 6 PM.

Thanks for the post! It's nice to have this available.

Anyone remember noon tune..marching to lunch, fire drills, tornado drills, being called “pings”?

Worldclass... I keep looking for this clip at regular intervals and can hardly stop laughing.

7:19 "...I don't think that's fair."

After listening to this poor soul, I realize that there is a HELL.

I love los Angeles tv

Love

Love this all day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

H L Hunt said that Coolidge was our last successful president.

Great recording...Love Gary's broadcasting style....Its a great shame that so few of his shows still exist...I guess the easy listening style music did not lend itself so well to aircheck collectors of the day. His wacky comments and off the wall observations are pure comedy gold.

Fre Quel talent classe

What a historic moment in Los Angeles harbor history. Great film.
