Enjoy,
Nathan

The Hiller H-16 an early attempt @ a very heavy lift helo, a really early C-130, an A4D-1 or 2, a flyby of a C-121/F-94C/F-89D/F-86D (some sort of night intercepter muscle?), a 3 ship of P5M's-where was this show and when???

The first photo is of the prototype YH-16, the worlds largest helicopter at the time. 40 passenger capability. The last photo is of three P5M-2 Marlin's.

Love the Marlins! .... The planes, not the baseball team. Go Phils!

That is an awesome formation too with the Scorpion.

Por nada, but as Inspector inquired, are there any dates on these Nathan?

I asked my uncle Don and he said he thinks it was Willow Grove. He was pretty sure it was a Naval station someplace around the Philly area. And reading that the YH-16 flew between 1954-55-56 before it crashed I would bet it was around that time period. I love a good mystery! :D

Any ideas?

Sorry I "barrowed" this photo from wikipedia. Could the building in the background be the same one in my photo of the YH-16? :?:
