Bill, in 1988 I shot a poor quality photo of a formation of some 21 T-6s and a solitary C-45.

Did you happen to get a shot of that formation?

Saludos,


Tulio

GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

No Tulio I did not and if I did it probably would have of poor quality also. It was not the best show for photography and I did not salvage many photos

Nice to see Carolyn, I saw her just once, when she was painted by a shop in San Angelo.

Anyone know if the UC-64 is still around?

This is the end of photos for this thread. The Next one will be from Freedom Flight America Glendale AZ July 31, 1995 with better quality photos. Between health problems and very hot weather in Arizona I haven't gone to any new Air Shows/
Fly-ins so I will continue to post photos from shows past.
