SUMMARY
Red Bull cinematographer Khyber Jones captured footage of a 1958 Douglas DC-6B aircraft flying over the US using a vintage 1950s Bolex H16 cinema camera. The flight was documented from a WWII-era A26 bomber, utilizing its glass-domed nose for a wider view. Photographer Colin Kerrigan also contributed stills using a 1981 Canon AE-1 Program. The project aimed to match the retro aesthetic of the aircraft with vintage photographic and videographic equipment, creating a unique visual representation of the plane and modern New York City.
