Haha.

I went on a trip and have a few planes to share (and some tanks for the armor folks.)  I used to use Photobucket, but now they are charging, so I opened a Flickr account.  Can't figure out how to share them on here- grabbing a link in their "share" section does nothing.  What does everyone on here use?

[reddfoxx]

Alright, dug deeper, think I found a way.  Sad that none of my previous posts show- Photobucket wants $400/year to allow third-party use.  Argh.

Anyway, here is a T-33 near City Hall in Brooklyn, Ohio.  Jumped out of the shadows in a quiet neighborhood.

F-86 and Sherman variant at VFW post 7119, Indianapolis, IN.  Oh, and a Snakeeye retarded bomb- I never want to see a bomb from that angle again...











Plus, is this a naval gun?

Cobra, VFW, Marion, Ohio, June 29, 2017:

I'm no expert but that gun looks like it could have come from the side sponson of an old battleship ?

Like the mural 

[reddfoxx]

Yep, that's what I was thinking- WW2 or before naval gun.  No markings on any of the displays. 

The mural in Marion was very cool.  I will post some close-ups, and some other stuff from my trips, soon.

VFW displays, Janesville, WI.  F9F in fake Navy colors; the members said this is a Marine aircraft and they have tons of documents in their files, and hope to repaint it soon.  Cobra, and M-60, and a few field guns.

Nice F9F 

[Captain Canada]

Great stuff ! Some nice displays there.

It warms my heart to read things like that. Good stuff!
