I flew with Hal Gray in Paulette the first half of the time we were in Mexico and with Stu Kunkee the last half in the no name plane. We had a 3 week break in April and went back home for that, then back down till we left in June.

You know -- it's actually a really good thing that these are being scanned and digitalised now -- you can see considerable color shift in some of them. A lot of photographic material from those years is deteriorating rapidly with age and will some day be useless.

Thanks Stoney and Jack for this great thread...

Jack / Stoney, no more photos from the filming I take it. Havent seen any new posts here. Too bad. I would love to see any others that might turn up one day. I have dedicated a part of photo gallery to display the photos. I hope I have put the appropriate credits to the appropriate photos. Please check and let me know If I should correct any.

Thanks
dave

My hard drive went crazy and I lost 1,000s of pix. I will rescan the slides when I get the time. Next time I will put pix on CDs as soon as I have them.

Lesson for us all --- ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS back up -- get a copy somewhere else. I'm so paranoid I try to back up the really important stuff to CD/DVD and two different external hard drives -- (one to keep off-site in case my house burns down or something).

I'm not sure who was a mechanic and also a pilot, but here's a list of the aircrews that I have:

James Appleby
Wayne Berg
I.N. (Junior) Burchinal
Wayne Burtt
John Bagley
Ray Burkhead
Odel Burton
Frank Blaha
Jack Biven
Willis Fritts
Richard Fischer
Dick Gillespie
Hal Gray
Barney Green
Dan Hill
Les Hall
Don Hackett
Marvin Jackson
Danny Johnson
Jenner Knight
Steward Kunkee
Skip Marsh
Mike MacDonald
Thomas Mooney
Edward Mitrana
Don ornbaum
Frank Pine
Wendell Reid
Terry Rossi
Charles Rector
Jim Speers
Len Stonich
Frank Tallman
Rick Wilson
Forrest Watson
David Viviano
David Voltz

That's what I have, but I'm sure some where mechanics and pilots and I'm sure there were others not on this list that were just mechanics.

Would this be the same John Bagley who currently plays around with a P-51D and a P-63?

I don't know if it's the same John Bagley, but maybe Stoney does?

Thanks, great list. I wonder how many of these guys are still around. I think Stu Kunkee is up around 80 something, and of course Jr. Burchinal has passed. Be kinda cool to have a Catch 22 re-Union like in S.A. Texas, or Houston even.
