Chanute Field New hangar.




Patuxent River, MD Naval air station.


"San Bernadino" is all the info there is for this one. Interesting the C-47 looks like a D-Day veteran.

Thanks for the B-10s at Chanute, Mark! The second image was displayed at the Chanute museum (they had it dated September 24, 1940); couldn't get a good shot because the flash kept reflecting back.
Was this Chanute photo in the batch you got? A-17A 38-347:

Again with the flash

[Mark Allen M]

Yes, I did see that photo Chris, it’s in the link I posted in the first post.

Interesting that in 1957 they were still using that early photo of the F-104 with the once secret intake comes hidden.
By they, they weren't classified and you could buy a plastic .79 model kit of the Starfighter.

Anyone else notice Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent on the Mustang's cowl?

[Craig59]

So that’s how Santa delivers all those presents in one night!

Sure would be nice to see Fertile Myrtle fly again. Alas, I guess I’m lucky to have seen her do so at Chino many moons ago.

wow, thanks for the mamaries !

I saw the B-29 at Mountain Home, AFB....1978.
Seems like a million years ago!
I doubt if she'll fly again unless she goes to some sort of group. There is a reason why there were no private B-29s back in the day, too much money to operate one...even more than Weeks' money.

Anyone know if the Mustang survives?

Great stuff Mark! Love the Calendar!
I could see making a 2024 Calendar with the same artwork, just updated dates.
