This footage from the 1970s captures the high flying maneuvers of several United States Air Force planes at a Texas air field. The film also includes imagery of the pilots smiling as they are congratulated on the ground.

Known to many as the “Voice of the Longhorns,” Wally Pryor served as the announcer for UT sports from 1953 until 2002. While his voice was certainly recognizable he also played an active role as a producer – for KTBC, amongst others – and regularly served as an emcee for various events. Wally regularly worked as a producer for his older brother Richard “Cactus” Pryor. The films in the Wallace and Euna Pyror Collection represent a range of films, including home movies, various pieces he produced, and films featuring himself or Cactus Pryor.
