Caption: "Aerial Acrobatics put on Sunday at Tinker Air Force Base's silver anniversary open house drew crowds to the flight line and held them there for several hours. One tot wasn't about to miss the show, but neither did he plan to skip his bottle either. The thoughtful father solved the problem with a double-barrelled approch. The estimated 150,000 visitors craned their heads extra high to view the Air Force Thunderbirds, an aerial demonstration team, display their precision flying and acrobatic. People squinted to block out a bright, hot sun, occasionally plugged their ears as bomber jets whizzed past and sheered at the dramatic aerial stunts. Tinker put its welcome mat out for most portions of the base, and allowed visitors to roam through buildings, inspect planes and take pictures. The open house also featured clowns, rides and favors for the youngsters and a tour of the Numerical Control Center, where machines are controlled by computers and operate by punched tapes."
