Warbird Information Exchange

one more go-round from the kid in Cincinnati. hope i'm not boring you advanced types. good news is there can't be much left after this. the backside of the snapshots say 1974, but i'm not so sure. there were several runs up there in the mid '70's.
I would suspect that is the atlas that unpressurized and crumbled. learned about that on my behind scenes tour this past june...

back of this says nothing. I was stumped. then but not now.

on this I wrote "civilian registration", which is weird because I really didn't think about that stuff back then. it must have been on the info sign. I was 12 or 13.


bomarc is cool.

I never saw Rumanian markings back in the day. just wasn't looking.



for comparison only, with my shot from last weekend...


Scott AFB 1984

Firestone C-47 that would drop skydivers over Kings Island, this might be 1978-ish

movie Memphis belle. this photo is key. it was tacked to my bulletin board. when I got my first computer, and learned of "googling", I wasn't expecting success when I plugged in the digits 124485. BINGO, sorta kinda changed my life.....

Great stuff..I love seeing the old pics! Really reminds me of my first visit to the USAF Museum in 1978. The Ju-88 was still wearing a weathered faux Luftwaffe scheme then. I think it was repainted in Romanian markings sometime in the early 80s.
