Some Photos from a while back

Mon Aug 07, 2006 11:26 pm

A dear friend and fellow hanger flyer recently passed away. His son called me and asked me if I wanted his airplane pictures. WOW he has a bunch...several thousand. I have just started going through them and I thought these would be interesting. (the little captions are his stickers placed on the photos)

Sorry to hear of your friend's passing...

I must say however that I'm grateful this fella's son decided that these photos should be passed on to someone
who might appreciate them instead of pitching 'em all.

Thanks much for sharing these here!

Great pics , thanks for posting.
The '109' is actually a Hispano HA1112 Buchón (a Spanish built 109 with a RR Merlin)

IIRC the Condor Legion paint job was for its cameo appearence in the 1976 flick Hindenburg.
