Is that an F-86 Sabre on the left, Glenn? And, what does "Wagga"
mean, is it the name of the air museum/park where you took these
pictures?

I wish more outdoor museums would paint out the canopies, although these
two are probably beyond help by now.

Yes and No, It's the Australian CAC version of the F-86.
Just it was better than the F-86 as is most of teh aircraft Australia gets.
Aussie mods always work better ;-)

And RAAF Wagga is the Royal Australian Air Force base at Wagga Wagga in new
South wales.
or to be more Correct, at Forrest hill which is a few klicks outside of
Wagga Wagga Township.

That's because they have 10 extra years of development <|:O)

that's because we buy American. It's 10 years late by the time they get to
us. We have a lot to think about how we'll do it :-)
Except for Political favours like the C-17 (yeah that one's going to cop me
a lot of flak) ;-)

Although I think we are slowly learning. We don't seem to be getting a lot
of american aircraft anymore, and strangely enough, neiher is the USAF ;-)


Jokes aside though, I do love the USAF. I would have loved to have a been a
photographer there during the 50's and 60's

Hey! It takes us Yanks ten years to figure out how to make 'em fly upside
down for you guys!

Bit of a sore point here in Seattle...

I wish you had, too.

I'm also very impressed with the way the Kiwis souped up their Skyhawks
(before they decided they didn't really need a defense force.)

Glen - Love your photography - and hope to do a return visit to Australia
and New Zealand someday - Thanks for all you have done to keep this group
worth watching.

The Kiwis can't sell them to anyone the US doesn't 'aprove' of. Apparently.
the Scooter is still on the top-secret list...

Ridiculous BS, if you ask me.
