Superb pics Brian. I must say, that cat you bought has improved your looks somewhat . Health and Safety wasn't a big deal in those days either. You could even leave the odd bomb lying around providing there was a notice not to climb on it.

Very nice set of pictures.

Your F-4D is a genuine MiG killer too:

The A-12 Blackbird is no longer at the Museum. After being restored and cared for by volunteers the Air Force took it back off them and gave it to the CIA for them to put on a pole (all 102 feet of it ) at their Langley, VA. headquarters in time for their 60th anniversary three years ago. It is hard to believe that this aircraft is 50 years old. Regards Beemer.
