The beginning of this film by JoAnn Elam appears to be a duplicate of another element in this collection titled Airplane (F.2011-01-0051). Shot from a flying airplane around 1974, the footage consists of a series of views showing the ocean, snowy mountains, the geometrical grids of American suburban neighborhoods, and open fields (location unknown). Elam then turns her attention to employees working on the tarmac at the airport. Following the “Airplane” section, this footage ends with a series of street shots in Chicago, possibly near Wolfram street located Northeast of Logan Square, where Elam worked as a postal worker at that time.
