Awesome video, takes me back to simpler times.   Was the golden age for OMC.   Thanks for sharing.

The video is a nice break from shoveling snow.

I wonder how many years the White Angels used jetflites in their shows. This photo was featured in the 1963 brochure although the boats look like 1961 models.

Glastron's promotional dept. must have been a busy place in the 60's & 70's.
There was something about the 1973 show with the 1971 V143's.
Wouldn't want to buy a used boat from them ..   ;)

Guy in the back needs to Trim Down!  He's ruining the uniformity of the shot!
