The videocassette appears to be a collection of TCA or Air Canada films that may have been recorded for Billie. Wings Across Time is an approximately 10 minute montage of photographs with background music, produced by Air Canada Productions on the occasion of the company’s 40th Anniversary. Getting Off the Ground is an approximately 23 minute colour film with English-language narration. Red Carpet is an approximately 12 minute film with English-language narration produced by Crawley Films Canada for Trans-Canada Airlines. The remaining material on the videocassette has no sound and appears to be b-roll, although there is a short scripted segment in black and white at the beginning.
