Kennedy Sees Mighty Air Power President Kennedy is guest of honor at a display of military air might at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Napalm saturation bombings, air-to-air skills and mid-air refueling are highlights of the show. President Kennedy s motorcade drives down base, surrounded by men in uniform running along side. Military crowd on bleachers? General Curtis Lemay (sp?) seated next to Kennedy, who is wearing sunglasses. Vice President Johnson attends, wearing sunglasses. Multiple aircraft fly-by, drop bombs. Pan down as bombs fall and explosion and black smoke fill screen. Nice shot, view from behind President Kennedy of field, we see what he sees. Low angle of aircraft re-fueling in mid-air. Air to air missile fire with drone plane, explosion.
