It was taken at the same place this photo was taken.

There's a tiny hint in the photo - if you can see it.

This has gone on long enough. Since this thread was buried at the bottom of page 2, it might be time to tell us.

A few folks here can't guess - you know who you are!

That kinda looks like the hangar in San Marcos, where the Yellow Rose is now.

Not San Marcos - what are those aircraft in the pictures besides the P-40?

Dunno, can't tell, it's too little and blurry.

Hondo? Kelly? El Paso? Corpus?

Ryan, if I were to just guess, since the photo came from you, I'd guess those are L-birds of some sort, probably L-5s in the picture. If so, the problem now is that I don't have a clue as to which air field here in Texas that those were based.

You've got us all stumped here.

It's not Maxwell or Midland.

:lol: Good guesses so far.

I'm thinking that Taylor and I ought to plan a trip out there sometime... It'd be more expensive for me.
