I finally have a scanner at home so I can start scanning all of the 100's of aircraft pix I have. Here are a few that came from my dad that he took back when he ran the Photo Lab at Vought. I'm not sure which restoration (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) these are from, but you can see in the color pictures the 6 kill markings are in two rows of three, and in the black-n-white pictures and the last color picture the kill markings are one row of 4 and one row of 3.

In looking at the two black-n-white pictures and the last color picture, it is possible those are two different restorations, possibly showing all three times that Vought worked on this Goodyear FG1-D. They were definately taken at different times as the rudders are in different positions, and in the color picture there is the addition of the CAF "wing" insignia under the names.

Here are a couple of additional pictures that my father sent me. He is going through all of his old slides and negatives and scanning them and ran across these two. They are both from the third repair and repaint job that Vought did. You can tell the how old these are by the Navy F4 Phantom in the background taxiing from NAS Dallas.

Thanks for taking the time to put these on the board. What do you used to scan the slides & negatives with?

TIA,

Lynn

Mine were scanned from 8x10 photos on a normal scanner. My father scanned the last two from either slides or negatives using a backlit slide/negative attachment on his HP scanner.

Roger that & Thanks,

Ran across this photo of my dad sitting in the CAF FG-1D back in 1980 when it first arrived at Vought for restoration.
