looking for photos of these NAS/MCAS bases

Tue Dec 23, 2014 11:28 am

Does anyone have or seen pictures of the aircraft flight line at the following bases and time periods:

NAS Oakland 1955
MCAS El Toro 1958
NAS Pensacola 1960


Im trying to track down a HUP-2 that might be in a picture somewhere.

Thanks,
Nathan

Im not sure what the signal is or have I heard of it but I could always throw Mark the finger and flash my butt cheeks. That should be enough for an attention getter. :D

BTW, thanks Mark for the effort!!! No luck in what Im looking for. But the photos did help in some visual observations! :drink3:
