From sources around the web, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is reversed (and possibly altered) still from the Dutch movie “The Bombardment.”
I’ve set the clip below to start slightly before the shots showing the damgage to the plane.
It doesn’t post as a video for some reason, but open it in a new window so you don’t lose this page (you might want to turn your sound dow / or off, too).

So…. about a dozen years later the Buick Super was my Dad’s favorite car. He had a ’52 and then a ’56… the ones with 4 decorative holes in the side panel.
He said if my date was driving a Buick I should check… cos 3 holes meant they were only driving a cheaper Special.
It was a joke… I was a little kid. But I’ve always remembered!
…
These ’40s didn’t have those holes yet… but OMG that woody!
$1242 fob Detroit… how much in California with the white sidewalls and wheel shields?
And I may as well get the heater and air conditioner.
Tell you what…. three grand for two, and you got a deal.
Ok, ok… $3250. A dark green one and a root beer brown. You’re killin’ me.
… “Bloom” at the top of the tree, “Garden” in the flowers in front of the door (beginning at the bottom of his sleeve), and “Farm” at the top of the plant in front of the wheelbarrow.

With her right hand in that position, she is fixing nothing (from the expression on her face she is apparently exerting great effort).
From an old tow truck driver: Teach all your kids how to change a tire. You never know when they’ll be stranded out of cell phone range. The car runs just as well when the gas tank is above half full. Checking the oil (and changing it as required) will save you thousands of dollars. Keeping your tire air pressure within a reasonable range makes them last at least twice as long! Just start with that. If they pick up on it, you can go along to the rest of the basics.
I posted this around sundown, my time… which means it was posted late on yesterday’s strip…. and not everyone goes back (though you can often see more that way.)
I don’t know how that’s possible…. But “Don’t Stop” has been an earworm for me all week!
I don’t know where it came from and I can’t make it go away.
You don’t suppose I could have caught it way ahead of time, from this posting tonight?
…
Besides that, I was at the grocery store last week when their Muzak or whatever sound system they use played Man-eater… I remember thinking it seemed pretty old for them to be playing.
Then again, they make a lot of strange choices, including repeatedly playing Uncle Kracker and Mungo Jerry.
Today is the first time I have heard that.
Further research tells me that while “Drift Away” was sung by him it was a cover of Dobie Gray’s original.
What that means is basically I’ve never heard of him at all until today.
A very sad Christmas for me. Yesterday afternoon my half Chihuahua Mafalda, pushing 22, left for the Rainbow Bridge. We’ll meet again; until then, for me the World will be a sadder place 💔
You know that your love lasted and loved you as long as possible. They aren’t forever, even as much as we can wish that they were. In time, it’s time for you to share your heart with another, so that they too can share that special bond that can only form between a human and a dog. The rainbow bridge can hold an incredible amount of love.
I think a lot of us here are sharing tears with you today. Mafalda’s eyes show so much love and devotion.
My condolences. 22 years, a good life for both of you.

The movie was based on events that actually happened.

Loved them all.

Actually I didn’t! Isn’t it customary to put the country on a postage stamp?

I’d been to the “Buick City” plant in Flint a few times.
So…. about a dozen years later the Buick Super was my Dad’s favorite car. He had a ’52 and then a ’56… the ones with 4 decorative holes in the side panel.
He said if my date was driving a Buick I should check… cos 3 holes meant they were only driving a cheaper Special.

Did you now?
That’s okay, you owed us an easy one after all those unsolvable ones!

You’ve got Bette Davis tires…

Amazing what can be done with a few Legos and a lot of determination.
Especially by a weaponry-obsessed basset hound.
2nd Christmas tree Cleo has wrecked this year, BTW… but who’s counting, right?
I posted this around sundown, my time… which means it was posted late on yesterday’s strip…. and not everyone goes back (though you can often see more that way.)
We have a rare holiday overlap this year.
So once again….
For those who celebrate it:
Chag Sameach!
Nighthawks must have been listening to my brain!
I don’t know how that’s possible…. But “Don’t Stop” has been an earworm for me all week!
I don’t know where it came from and I can’t make it go away.

Then again, they make a lot of strange choices, including repeatedly playing Uncle Kracker and Mungo Jerry.
Mungo Jerry I remembered, but if I ever knew that Uncle Kracker sang this I had forgotten it.
Actually I never knew, back when he was actually popular.
They play that one and his other big hit…
Today is the first time I have heard that.
Further research tells me that while “Drift Away” was sung by him it was a cover of Dobie Gray’s original.
What that means is basically I’ve never heard of him at all until today.
Here’s Dobie Gray….
…and here’s Mungo Jerry.
Actually, Dobie Gray wasn’t the original singer of Drift Away either… but he had a big hit with it, years before Uncle Kracker
In the first video you posted, starting at 2:00 minutes, a much older Dobie comes onstage to sing it with him…
They alternate through much of the rest of the track.
wasn’t that the theme song of Bill Clinton’s 1996 election campaign?
Yes!
Aha! Your brain was actually telling you “Don’t, Shop, save it for tomorrow!”
A very sad Christmas for me. Yesterday afternoon my half Chihuahua Mafalda, pushing 22, left for the Rainbow Bridge. We’ll meet again; until then, for me the World will be a sadder place 💔
I’m sorry for your loss!
Been there (at Christmas Eve 1983)…
You know that your love lasted and loved you as long as possible. They aren’t forever, even as much as we can wish that they were. In time, it’s time for you to share your heart with another, so that they too can share that special bond that can only form between a human and a dog.

Aww… I’m so sorry.
If she was almost 22, you must have given her a safe, comfortable life.
Sorry to hear that, please accept my condolences 🙁
One of my neighbours lost her cat to a massive heart attack yesterday evening, very sudden, and a huge shock.
a broken heart indeed.—-I’m so sorry
Pets are family.
So, so sorry for your loss, you will meet again, all my prayers
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Pretty baby. I’m so sorry.
Take comfort in that she had a long and wonderful life with you, and she will waiting for you.
I think a lot of us here are sharing tears with you today. Mafalda’s eyes show so much love and devotion.
My condolences. 22 years, a good life for both of you.
Oh, dear Giusy, what sad news to read about your sweet Mafalda. I am so sorry about your loss. RIP little Mafalda! ♥
Sorry for your loss.

That’s a B-52 in the back.
Obviously the “Loner” for when one of the 707’s in in for service/repair 😉
