I have scanned more of Tom Roberts' pics and created Mystery Album #9.

You can find the album via...

http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/Mystery.html

...or go directly to it at...

Obviously these are more pictures from another Geneseo show. Which year? What year were the B-25s out in force? The CWH Avenger was there. Fuddy was still a work in progress (see the shot of the two Mustangs flying over the nose).

Teasers below.

I think these are a cumulation of a bunch of shows... like the shot of the B-25 with the smoke on... and a Bearcat flying chase... I am willing to bet that was taken at Breckenridge... as I never remember a Bearcat coming to Geneseo and the B-25 is Silver Lady. I can't remember Wiley Sanders' "Old Grey Mare" B-25 at Geneseo either, that might be Breckenridge too. The only B-25 I recall attending Geneseo up until Korff bought "Panchito" in the early 90's was the CWH B-25. Based on the multiple shots of Fuddy... I'd say that there are some 1986 and 1987 show shots in there.

Hmmmm.... that is a possibility. I'll take another look at the prints. The groupings I have been coming up with are based on the photo paper and subject. It is possible there was not enough detail in the photos to separate photos from two different shows even when they have the same photo paper.

Perhaps he had several shows on one roll for developing... or had several rolls from different shows developed at the same time and place?

Dean Martin had his B-25 at one or two of the real early show...1982 or 1983 I think. Martin's B-25 was s/n 44-86734 and all I remember was that it was blue. Could this be it?

The pic is pretty dark so I can't tell if that is a blue B-25 or some other airplane.

Now that I am at home on my color-corrected monitor... I see that it is an all blue B-25 (at work it looked grey).

What ever happened to Dean Martin anyway?
