Saturday brought the first day of Helicopter action and also the start of problems during the
morning.  The Miss Budweiser had a slice of aluminum steel tear away from the bottom of
the hull and work to repair started after the hull was put on barrels.  Everybody (#12, 15, 22) was
lending a hand to repair the battered-up "bad boy" in the movie.  Shot #1 shows the extra's make-up
building that was used during Labor Day weekend.  #21 shows a little hole under the side of
Notre Dame's right sponson.  After lunch, the Bud crew got to work on the problem (#24 & #37)
while shooting went on for the other hulls with low drive-by's by the helicopter.  Jeff Ayler, Thriftway
crew member and Hydro Guru, was hard at work touching up the cockpit and other areas of
Miss Thriftway (#25 & #40).  Great helicopter footage can be seen in the latter part of the
day's photos!  #62 shows how hard this movie life is for Jerry Hopp and Bob Schroeder.
Side note: Mark Evans & Todd Yarling were carrying cameras with them while out on
the Ohio River.  Now that's an angle nobody but them can get!
