Beautiful photos!

When I saw his Twin Beech act the plane was painted in Navy markings..blue-gray over light gray with star-and-meatball insignia.

Jack, do you mean Gary Flanders? If So, is he still at Hangar 5 in Oakland?

One year at Breckenridge Airshow, the then LSFM F-7F made an early morning flight and several high power standard Breckenridge passes. Steve Rister I think has it on video. The sound of two R-2800's in a dive is something to remember.... :wink:

I would like to think I can swing a trip out that way in something...

Gary left Hanger 5 in 1989 when the late Mike Bogue moved his operation to Ione, Ca. The last time I saw Gary he was affiliated with the Western Aerospace Museum in Oakland.

Not that they're 'big twins', but ISTR a couple of Cessna 310s that advertised in Trade-A-Plane many years ago. I think they were straight-tailed, straight tanks. Don't recall what they called themselves tho. I also think there was someone with a Skymaster as well.
