My dad took those on a golf trip....Thanks for the correction...I was only assuming.

Wow! Whereabouts in Alaska is that L-1 (at least I think it's an L-1)?

Really interesting pictures, Dante. Have you heard about a neglected F-84, or maybe its an F-86, around the town of Mountain View, Missouri?

That would be Oshkosh 1986. I saw it at the Kalamazoo show that year also.

I have not ID'd it positively, but I think it may be 123100 now displayed at Pensacola. If no one else is sure, I will get out the loupe and squint at the tail number on my slides.

The Guardian was Jimmy Leeward's but I'm not certain if he still owns it or not.

It was also my understanding that it was Leeward's. It probably was Oshkosh 86, along with the FiFi pics, that was my first year at Oshkosh, age 4

Hadn't heard of that one, but sounds interesting. I am quite a ways from there, though. Anybody tried to Google Earth it?
