You have a lot of nice Pic's. But found 2 that caught my eye. #52 & 64. I was at Kadena in the late 60's. Was there with the B52D's on typhoon evac from Guam a couple of times between 66 and 68. It was my first encounter with the SR 71's. The one time we were parked in a revetment right across from their hangers. It was night and they were clearly seen outlined because their hanger lights were on. All I can say is the head on look of them looked like something out of Buck Rogers. I knew that they exsisted but never thought I'd get to see them like this. #52 is unusual for me because even though I was discharged when you took theses pic's, The KC 135 in the back ground is from the 28th BW. Ellsworth AFB S.Dak. I can tell by the emblem on the SAC stars on blue ribbon with our BW emblem. We are the only ones with that Blue and Gold Shield that is configured like that. A taste of home. #64 I'm not perfectly sure because of the 40 year spead from then and now, but I believe that in the back ground there are some low wide hangers and to the right it appears that there is a slight chance that there is a revetment sticking out just a little. If my mind serves me right, my aircraft was parked in one of these revetments facing these hangers which The SR 71's were parked in. I also remember that they were well guarded possibly by combat defence guys. The sight of the SR 71's siloetted like that willalways be enbedded in my mind. It was so cool. I did get to see them land and take off along with seeing them land, taxi, and the cooling down in a revetment. Then the spacesuit that the pilot wore. Also very impressive and memorable. Cutting edge tech. in the early days of it's use. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for the pictures to view.
I have a friend who is building a B-17 model and he would like to put the "Yankee Lady" nose art on it as a decal. He contacted YAM but that didn't have anything that could be copied. I am a member of YAM and as I looked through the site I came upon this photo. Would there be any chance of getting a copy of the photo to use as a decal master? The web site photo just doesn't do justice. Would appreciate any help you might offer.....and my friend would definitely appreciate it. He plans on donating the model to the YAM when it's finished. Thanks for your help.
Wow. A functional and easy to read scoreboard. Umpires, future games, pitchers in the out of town games, a spot for the 1st game of the doubleheader score; all in one scoreboard. Too bad the biggest newer scoreboards have to remind me to eat, drink and then show me fireworks. Apparently, they feel I can't tell what happened on the field and they have to tell me "Whoopee" while they remove the score. Are we that inept? Oh heck, I guess I need to relax on a merry go round. To heck with Yasztremski.
From Kos: AND the scoreboard provided the only shelter from rain. The seats in the top row were great!

This bank of incandescents is both dramatic and functional in it's engineering. Al Kaline said he thought Tiger Stadium was a fortress when he first saw it in the 1950's.
