- Description:
- In this series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips, the arrival of President Carter and other dignitaries at an airport near Atlanta, probably Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta, Georgia. The two opening clips include an off-camera male reporter asking an unidentified African American boy about President Carter visiting Calhoun, Georgia. There is a short black slug, then short clips of the inside of a car and a hand over the lens of the camera. Reporter Lynn Harasin, standing in from the air traffic control tower, counts down 3 to 1, then says that the President "came home today" and that she will "have his arrival." The rest of the clips only have ambient sound or are silent. There are several shots of people walking around the airport apron areas, military personnel, police arriving and on the top of a hanger, and people gathering behind the roped off areas. Maynard Jackson and his wife Valerie Richardson Jackson walk onto the apron area with several other unidentified people. There are several shots of Air Force One flying into the airport and taxiing toward the terminal. There is a close-up of the presidential seal on the plane, then the door is opened. Passenger boarding stairs are pushed toward the plane. President Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter walk along a receiving line greeting several unidentified people. There is a shot of other men getting off the plane, one of whom is probably Andrew Young. There is a shot of the air traffic control tower from the tarmac side of the facility. The presidential limousine drives by with men walking on either side. A police motorcycle escort forms, then there are several shots of the motorcade leaving the airport.
