Well, I finally got a scanner just after I found a ton of slides at an estate auction. First is a P-51D on the Universal Studios backlot in June of '65. There was a shot of the tram with a small sign reading "McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force" so I suppose it was being used for that movie; could it be 44-72739? Note the rocket rails.

Next is a shot of Howard Hughes' B-25, A-20 and BT-13, taken January, 1965. It's cropped from a larger image so it's not all that sharp, but I've never seen a photo of them together. I know where the Mitchell and Havoc are now, but who has the BT?

Really nice photos, thanks for posting them.
Love to see the candid shots as with the Hughes planes.
Can anyone supply the registration number for the BT-13 ?
