Dinosaur flash back moment. I believe it was this format or perhaps the Type A IVC 1 inch. Someone shot a squadron of airplanes and when the went to playback the tape one day all the planes were flying backwards or upside down. Turned out they had threaded the tape upside down or backwards in a manner where the audio tracks and the Control Track were on the opposite sides of where they were supposed to be. As fate would have it the pitch of the airplane squadron had some constant audio element the mimicked the control track signal enough that the tape could be tracked and the result was all the planes appeared to fly backwards or upside down. I did not witness the event but thought it was a pretty funny story. The more I think about it the planes were probably flopped and not upside down but whatever it was it was a head scratcher for sure.
We can now rejoin the current millennium.
