Thanks.

I believe it is BEFORE 1987. 87 was the first year I made it! Awesome picture.

I would say late 70's early 80's as 1986 was my first year and 1988 was the best with all the Mustangs and Kermits Mosi....

Or name the number of hangars/taxi ways that have been built there since this picture was taken. Ober should be able to get the photo plane ID.....

Where is Bill Arnot's hangar? I remember the barbeque's we had there in 1991. Not built by the time this photo is shot probarbly, as I feel it would have been closer to the camera.

It is before 1987. Chuckie got her top turret in at the end of 86.

I don't know what airplane it is but why did they stick the engine crank handle in the wing like that?

So... we never determined which year this was. Looks like the topic wandered!

So before 1987. Maybe someone will remember when the big hangar was built?

Is that a Merlin/Metro behind the B-25 on the taxiway?

I believe that pix is from 1983 or 1984. My airplane was wearing it's early paint scheme then (repainted in 1985) and is parked on the south side of T-6 row. Chuckie also only came a few times...

My first year was 1985 and we were interviewing Howard in the completed hangar..... so I would say the picture is from 1984...
