Found an ebay pic of 97259 prior to EAA Museum, not sure of the time frame.

That's Gene Akers at the 1971 California 1000 race at Mojave.

Some of these eBayers are sickening, swiping digitals off the net then selling them as "prints"...there is no shame anymore

Then putting an electronic watermark on them to prevent "theft". Gotta love it.

I usually give folks the benefit of the doubt, anyone know where this photo came from on the web?

You'd think if it was the seller's own work he'd know when where taken and add those details.

Odd title for the sale...any idea what he means by "USS Vought Corsair"?

I love the line that says you'll get an "actual photograph, not a reprint." Huh?
