That Cream and Black A-26 @ what looks like BUR is one snazzy lookin' airplane-any other info? I look @ those 65-70 year old inflights and try to imagine how much the terrain they are flying over has changed in that amount of time passage like the Southbound EC-121 over what looks like Long Beach before the oil derricks disappeared.
Very nice stuff again Mark :prayer: :prayer:

Beautiful shots! I can never get too much of the Connie. One correction that I would note. The photo that is titled "EC-121 1963" with the Navy EC-121 flanked by an F-4 Phantom and a TA-4 Skyhawk has got to be later than 1963. The first prototype 2-seat version of the Skyhawk, a TA-4E did not make its first flight until June 1965.

Keep the photos coming.

:D
