Found these going thru an old album the other day. Looks like they were taken with a box camera as the pictures are about 3" by 3". Pictures are dated Dec 1961 so I assume they were done on the summer or fall. These were taken at Ellington Field
Unfortunately these are all I have of this event. Image

Great shots! Thanks for posting. Had not seen many shots of the Blue Angels when they flew Tigers. And I can see our CAF Red Nose in its original white paint job peeking its nose up in one of the shots.

Neat to see nuke missles at an airshow. I wonder what kind of media attention that would get today!!!! :lol:

I agree--those are GREAT photos!

Notice the person on the scooter/pod between the two F-11s?

Always cool to see photos of the CAF a/c in the "company colors". Thanks for sharing.
