OH YES, THEY DID!!!

As your Editor In Chief of Eyes of A Generation, I pride myself on trying to display the best, most interesting images of our industry in action, but AT FIRST GLANCE, this series of pictures BLEW MY MIND! No one in their right mind would try to cover a football game with a Chapman Electra studio crane on the sidelines, EXCEPT – if there was a paved running track on the sidelines, which…there is here. In another rarity, CBS is using RCA TK41s (instead of Norelcos) to cover the event and odds are, they are using KTLA’s mobile units for this event. The same RCA built units that Red Skelton owned in the early ’60s. This is the 16th Annual NFL Pro Bowl at Los Angeles Memorial Coliesum in January of 1966. Enjoy! -Bobby Ellerbee
