This area has home movie clips taken at or around Korat RTAFB, or while in flight. Movie Area added 08/07/09, Last updated 09/16/09.

IMPORTANT some of these movie clip files are in MPG format. They are quite large in size ranging from a little under 10 Mega Bytes, to about 32 Mega Bytes in size. Recommend you down load these with a high speed connection. Dial up will take a very long time to download.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 08/29/09, Batcat Jim Eaton, "jimbosvideojoint" on YouTube, has converted, and added to YouTube some of these clips, previously as MPG format!! Because of issues some have encountered downloading and viewing the movie clips, I'm hoping Jim Eaton will continue to convert and add these clips to YouTube. Jim does very fine work. Home 8mm movies were shot at 18 frames per second, while computers display at 30 frames per second. Jim has converted the first of the movie clips to the 30 FPS rate and it looks good. Hope you will take a look.

Rob Dailey, son of Major Robert Dailey, provided his father's home movies. Rob had the 8mm silent movies converted to DVD. I converted the VOB format of the DVD to MPG, a common PC format. Because of the very large size of the files, it wasn't practical to upload the full movies. I edited the movies into movie clips which, even though large, are practical to download and view. Hope you enjoy, and our thanks to Rob Dailey for sending these along.
