Circa 1952, B36's after a tornado/high winds at Carswell.

Ouch! As was usually the case, the Corsair came out on the winning end of that encounter.

True, but it needs a new motor from what I have heard.

Damn that was close!

Damn that was close!

A co-worker of mine claims he was there for that. He said it was pretty wild.

I've never seen those b36 carnage pics before. I wonder how much of the fleet that represented at the time and if the govt went out of their way to hide the fact that bombers like that were out of commission.

Zero and a Corsair met up while on the taxiway.

Wonder if this was an actual Zero or a T-6 made to look like one?

It was the real one out of Chino.

Damn tail daggers are not traffic friendly. Gotta drive that shit sideways to see forward.

The old "Corsair zig-zag"

It was the real one out of Chino.

Yep. They have some great restoration guys. They'll get it fixed.

When I was a kid there was a real zero at the caf in Lancaster, tx. The building caught fire at one point and ruined the tail as well. I wonder if it is the same plane.

Africa's west coast near Dakar. There is actually a fairly large airport down there. It's in the dirt...next to the other dirt...yeah that's about it.


Crossing the southern Andes. They are a lot higher in the daytime.


Leaving rainy London.
