I recall the same story when hams were no longer needed to help at an airshow.  Unfortunately, the cell batteries were'nt able to support the talk time.

Hello Terri,
I remember when cell phones were just starting to be popular.  I was living in Northern Kentucky at the time.  There was an event that amateur radio operators provided local communications for but that year they didn't think they would need us since they had people with cell phones.  But they asked us to be there just in case things didn't work.  well, the cell phones had areas where they lost communication so we came and saved the day for them.
