North American Aviation F-86 Sabre Jet's transcontinental flights

Title superimposed on a jet aircraft: "This Jet Age! Coast-to-cost round trip, Dawn-to-Dusk" / A nighttime shot of a ground crew dragging a fuel hose to an aircraft; a man on top of the jet pouring aviation fuel into the airplane's tank // pilot John Conroy and his family seated in a restaurant with a mural of a rocky ocean shore behind them; he eats with his small boy behind him; a pan of the family with the father and son laughing / Conroy waves from the open canopy of his plane, with "John M. Conroy" painted just below him; his F-86 Sabre takes off / A clock showing six o'clock, then eleven-seventeen // Sign: "Welcome to Mitchel Air Force Base, The Nation's Air Force Reserve Headquarters, home of the Continental Air Command and the First Air Force / The Sabre arrives and taxis (note United States on the side) / Numerous men of the press / On the tarmac, Conroy is fed an elegant dinner by a white-coated waiter; his plate as he cuts a piece of filet mignon, grins and eats it / A crowd with a Boy Scout in front of military men and a group of civilians / The Sabre flies high in the air / The clock says five-twenty-six and the jet flies overhead / A group of people waving / Conroy exits the plane and kisses his wife and the kids / Photographers record the scene / Conroy with his wife sitting beside him, digs into another meal, including onion rings and takes a bite of beef
