“We are headed in the direction of the Pyramids, but the storm makes it difficult to even find them. But coming into the corner of the screen is the great Cheops Pyramid, the largest of them all. I think Major Evans must have been out the night before, because we are side-slipping around in startling manner, making it difficult to even keep the Pyramids in the finder of our camera. We are looking down on one of the oldest creations of man, and flying a thousand feet above in the most modern. We, as tourists tonight are the first people to ever see the pyramids from the sky.”
