[R-390] 390s in "I Walk the Line"

[Tom M.]

The context of the shot was Johnny in the Air Force, that's it.  The movie did
not show him in radio action, however, but many years ago I heard that the man
in black was a top notch CW copier and had the best CW ear around.  I think he
was assigned to copy East Bloc traffic (but the movie does not go into any of
this).

Additional benefit, Witherspoon makes for a hot June Carter!
