Haven't seen those last 2 before. Amazing...

First picture: 42-32078, two numbers after Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby, but it looks like it's got a Cheyenne tail turret - was this a field modification?

Chris,

Even some O.D. birds got Cheyenne turrets while at the Depot for major repairs. One that comes to mind is "Sheherezade" of the 447th B.G.

Mercy's Madhouse makes me feel better about what is left of TEXAS RAIDER'S Paint!

Thanks Jack,

The only reasons the airplanes matter is what the veterans did with them... and why.

Notice the top windows forward of the cockpit with the astrodome. retro fitted astrodome perhaps?

Is "Mercy's Madhouse" a taxiing accident? It seems odd that #3's not feathered, and the props not bent.

If you look close, it appears that someone is bailing out of the cockpit on "Mercy's Madhouse" as the photo was taken.

I've seen too many airplanes destroyed by the term "Static Restoration."

second to last shot, there does not seem to be much left of the wing outboard of the #4, or maybe a large chunk is missing....

great shots, as usual!
