Pretty sparse ramp for airshow.

Thanks Jack... always interesting to see how they did it "old school"!
Along those lines (shameless advert) Gulf Coast Wing is about to put a couple of CAF books up on our new Evil Bay store.
(We found a couple of boxes of them during the hangar move.)
They are the CAF 40th Anniversary book and another CAF book.
Both are paper cover on nice paper with many nice color pictures just like y'all like 'em.
Hopefully just in time for Christmas!
gotta love it!

PS... Just kidding, but WHAT WERE YOU THINKING selling a B25J???

Sea Dart at Paine Field
Those are some great photos, Jack. The B-25 was used in the film Young Joe, the Forgotten Kennedy, along with the Tallichet B-24. My dad's old L-17 was used by Tallmantz as one of the camera ships.
The Sea Dart pic you have listed as at Paine Field...but that was actually taken at Renton. Dad used to tie the Navion down next to that thing...and as a kid I can remember climbing on and around it. Not sure, but I think that is the one that is on a pole outside the San Diego museum these days.
