This gives a feel for the relative sizes of the Vampire and Meteor...

Cool - shot of those C-133s - just neat to see those massive old cargo planes.

Love that "minutemen" sabre - I have been trying to come up with the funds to get her down to the air show in Wendover for awhile - jets are such efficient converters of $$ to noise though. . . :D

The C-133's are still at Mojave, and can be seen on Google Earth. But they have been pushed way way out in the desert.

Good to know if an ambitious base or MAJCOM (like the AMC folks at Dover) museum decides it needs one.

Thank you very much Roger. I just went through the thread and they really look pretty good. The scanning has been a challenge -- those 35 year old Kodachromes (ASA 25! Good thing I was young and fairly steady) are often really difficult to work with. It's been a fun thread to do. I learned a lot.

Keep 'em coming Neal, I know you've got a lot of good stuff over the years.
