If you want to post the entire photograph Tom, I have more than enough
bandwidth. You live in a dream location for those of us who like military
aircraft and the Blues.
Thanks for your postings. I really like them.

Ooo!

And 'solo vapor' would be a good name for a rock band...

Here ya go, the whole plane.
Yes, it's a dream location. We had a gaggle of F/A-18s fly through here
yesterday on their way back to Miramar from the ranges down near Key West.
I didn't even get out the camera, just watched them do the Navy break and
then scream over the house, one by one, on the way to runway 07R. We are
hoping that a full operational squadron gets assigned here soon. Rumor is
they might go to Saufley Field which is just a short ride from here. We'll
just have to wait and see what happens, Tom

I didn't think there was enough runway there.

Mine was 15 April 1958. What preflight class were you in? I was a
Cadet in 48-57.

The attachment didn't open for me. It was just code.

People here seem to think that because Cecil Field won't reopen due to
encroachment and the way the land/buildings have been taken over by industry
that Pensacola has a chance on getting an air wing from Oceana. They say
Saufley Field can be upgraded. It would bring people and money to the
community. The politicians and chamber of commerce are in favor of it. Of
course it depends on politicians and not common logic or availability of
airspace and an airfield that can be improved upon. We'll just have to wait
and see what happens.
