suspiciously good They just copied some footage helpfully provided by the air force. (7:50) There must have been a "director's cut" of the same because we see it in "The Day After" where they're turning the keys. [VIDEO]
There are some scenes in the movie The Day After showing the mission I believe these plans flyes: [VIDEO] The US used to have one or two airborne at all times during the cold war. Quits scary.
More of the the US bomber crew/SAC footgage can be seen here in this SAC promo video: [LINK] and here in this PBS documentary: [VIDEO]
