Bill, in 1988 I shot a poor quality photo of a formation of some 21 T-6s and a solitary C-45.

Did you happen to get a shot of that formation?

Saludos,


Tulio

[bilwor]

No Tulio I did not and if I did it probably would have of poor quality also. It was not the best show for photography and I did not salvage many photos

Nice to see Carolyn, I saw her just once, when she was painted by a shop in San Angelo.

Anyone know if the UC-64 is still around?

Anyone know if the UC-64 is still around?

The FAA listing says it was exported-

This is the end of photos for this thread. The Next one will be from Freedom Flight America Glendale AZ July 31, 1995 with better quality photos. Between health problems and very hot weather in Arizona I haven't gone to any new Air Shows/
Fly-ins so I will continue to post photos from shows past.
