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.
