Mon Jun 11, 2007 1:20 pm
Tom Roberts donated the photos that have prompted me to create Mystery Album #3. Here is a teaser...
You can find the album via...

These photos appear to have been taken at a small airshow. I don't know where or when. Tips anyone? Looking forward to any tips you can provide.

Hi Mike,
The Geneseo photos are (I think) 1982... based on the fact that the old runway was being used, the small number of warbirds, the heavy CWH participation and the fact the T-Hangar wasn't enclosed at the time... what a blast from the past!
The unknown location show is a real puzzler... the BT-13 there is Bobby Moses' plane that was located at NWM for many, many years... it was the first warbird I ever rode in! Based on the condition of the hangar in the background and a lucky guess, I think the location is Buffalo Airpark in West Seneca, NY (See: http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=r48txz8f607n&style=o&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=299301&encType=1 and look close at the barrel roof hangar). Not sure of the year though... though it looks prior to when Bobby restored the plane... so perhaps '82 or '83.
Bobby used to frequent fly-in breakfasts in the BT, so perhaps it was one of the flying flapjack fests...
But alas, no milk in a bag was served at the breakfast I am sure...

Yeah, now that I look at it a little closer, Ryan is right, that is definitely Buffalo Airfield. The office building gives it away. I would assume some sort of fly-in but who knows when.

Thanks Gents. So far we have Buffalo Airfield, 1982 or 1983. I'll go back to the original prints and compare those to known prints from 1982 and 1983 to see if I can draw any further conclusions.
You visit Ottawa Canada's national capital on July 1st Canada's B-Day...
You visit the Canada Aviation Museum and fall in love with another B-24 (for those that were not there, we needed to give Ryan some time alone
)...
You attend one rocking huge party on parliament hill followed up by an awesome fire works display...
Good fellowship, a great time...
...AND ALL YOU REMEMBER IS MILK IN BAGS?!?!?!?
You are welcome back any time Ryan.
