Nuts! I moved them to a sub-folder and the link must have been broken.

I'll re-try and re-post with the new links - SORRY! I'm new to photobucket.

Sorry, Let's try this again!

As promised, here are some pictures from the San Isidro Air Base from my trip in 2002. First up are pictures from my first trip in January 2002 of aircraft that sat in front of the Defense Ministry in Santo Domingo. These were subsequently moved to the airbase and restored by my return trip in November of 2002.

This is the Officers Club at the San Isidro Airbase with the A-37 Dragonfly sitting on top. A nice restoration!

Great shots. The P-51 is the last of Gen. Miller's 'Millie G' aircraft and is a very historic machine in which he bought down a 262. I am occasionally in contact with one of the team which restored it, and they hope to have a small museum building in the future to include it in. General Miller has been consulted about it at the time of restoration.
