The last one is actually an Oscar not a Zero, but hey, I hadn't seen any of them before, Thanks.

Yeah, that's just the way we found 'em. They appear to be original photos (don't know who took them or how we got 'em), so I'm going to carefully remove those sticky letters from them and hope I don't ruin the pictures.

Cool pics!

I read somewhere that the Oscar remained on display there until it was taken down in the 60's and scrapped. Anyone have info on that?

Since it's in the Philipines, it's probably intended as a trophy.

That's a fascinating pic of the Swoose..it looks like most of the paint has been stripped, except for the inboard wing and the underside.

Wow!! That Pilot had to be a real Hot-Shot to land a plane on a post like that... Digger
