As some will note, in the background is a very
early home-grown Aero-Comander. Out of the frame
to the right is a Buff and a B-47.

Ooops. Pardon me. I used the word "is" rather
than "was." In about 1992 the geniuses on the
Fair Board of Okra-homa found it mo'betta to
utilize the space occupied by some classic birds
for car parking. Have no clue where they flew to.

This is a very old picture. I know. Pretty sure
I took it and some others years back.

Thanks for the info on those sites, John.
I'll see if I still have a couple of pics
of that Aero Commander with the number.
Else, will see if google can find it.
It was a pretty bird's egg blue... NOT
the washed out, faded white as shown.

Blue Goose! I knew that, but the old
grey stuff 'twixt m' ears forgot it.

Thanks! The article was a treat.
