okay folks.... slow day at work....

a small selection from my photo archives.... the photos do not have any information on the back - but I suspect that some are from Bill Larkins... so I hope it's okay to post them, otherwise please holler and I'll add proper credits or remove the thread....

there are many more photos in my collection... just need to find time to scan them...

individual aircraft histories can be added upon request 8)

meanwhile.... enjoy !

Cool shots!

Any chance you have Indiana ANG, I know they had 'Stangs but I've never seen one.

And here's a challenge for ya Martin. Cpt. Earl Miller flying his P51D postwar with the 179th FS. Can't quite make out the tail and his logbook doesn't list a serial.

Looks like 44-7469?

Always been curious to the history of this particular bird.
