Inside the lobby of 1400 KLIN, Lincoln, Nebraska, Aug 1st, 2007. Station General Manager Mark Halverson (far left) and host Jack Mitchell listen to Scott Stewart, son of WWII vet and aviation author Carroll "Cal" Stewart, relate how former B-24 bomber command pilot Fernley Smith (far right) almost had a head-on midair collision with another B-24 over the Rhine River in Germany just after the war ended. After surviving 18 combat missions before his 18th birthday, Fernley was giving his crew a low and fast sightseeing tour over the river, when they met another B-24 coming at them from the opposite direction doing the same thing. Scott explains how the two planes narrowly missed each other. Edward "Red" Weir (back to camera), a former B-24 navigator, listens to Scott's story.
