The film features the Military Airlift Command HQ at Scott Air Force Base and Howell Marion Estes Jr. (or Howell Marion Estes II) (September 18, 1914 – July 2, 2007). Estes was a general in the United States Air Force and commander of the Military Air Transport Service, later renamed the Military Airlift Command.
