Scott,

Most of these photos were taken long before I had a digital camera...

Other than the serials appearing on the airplanes themselves, I have no additional information on them, other than date and location.

Saludos,


Tulio

The F105B at Volk Field WI ANG Museum (the last B model to fly according to the info placard). I can't seem to find the photo of the entire ship... The photos do explain why some are being scrapped, she's in bad shape... :(

Something doesn't jive with saying the last B-model flight could have been in 1961, since the NJANG B-models flew until 1981.

Not 100% sure but i think they had f106's in 81. I was on base with my godfather and my dad at about that time and remember the 106. I was only 6 or so, but i remember the 106.

Here is a current photo of 60-492 at Valiant Air Command Museum in Florida.
Lot's of work done on it since the photos you have on file were taken.
Original art work when in service, in front of and under wing, was saved.

Glad they kept the artwork and didn't get all PC about it.
