Yeah, wasn't KODACHROME wonderful stuff? Too bad that pixels killed it off, I doubt they will ever make a reasonably priced digital camera that can come within 3 miles of KODACHROME for fidelity, depth, warmth, and saturation.

There's my Sikorsky! Thank you, Alan. Dang rotor blade's in the way but, looks like either a HRS or HO4S in service with the Navy or perhaps a HQ Squadron.

Lets not forget the C 46 :)

Surprised to see an OD one in the 50's all the ones my dad flew in 44 and 45 were natural alum.

Those are, of course, F-80s and not F-94s.

Meir Motors looks equally as fine.

This IS an awesome thread.
