Warbird Information Exchange

Many of you are familiar with the new magazine Warbirds Digest (www.warbirddigest.com). Recently I was given the opportunity to put together an article for WD using pictures of a friend of mine, Bob Wheelans. Bob flew with Kenting Aviation, an aerial survey company, in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Bob had many more pictures than WD could possibly publish. I have put together a Webshots album which is a selection of the photos not published. Bob took some really cool pictures.

You can find the pictures at...

If you have any information to add or comments to share please feel free to post here or let me know so that I can pass the info on to Bob.

I just checked my notes. Bob didn't write anything on the slide. It would have been Northern Canada. I did ask him at one time. He pointed out it was north of the tree line and was most likely a DEW line station.



The C-124 pics were taken at Frobisher Bay.

Glad you enjoyed them!
