I'm supposed to come up with the Centennial paint scheme for a COD. problem is, it's pretty vintage already. Maybe we'll go with the Corsair scheme...

This R4D Dakota is probably closer in lineage to today's VR squadrons, but it's pretty cool looking.

Anyone know what that first jet is? Some kind of ISR deal?

When I took the picture they had the steps roped off, I wanted to go in and look but no joy. Later in the day it was open for viewing but the line was about 400 people long. I did notice the lower canoe.

Heh... good question. Maybe somebody is trying to sell something.

Roger. Google says it's their Dragonstar tech demo bird. Interesting it's doing the airshow circuit...

The A-37. The Old Man has always said that this is/was his favorite airplane to fly. Small, way overpowered (apparently you could hit VNe straight and level with the engines turning at 90%; exaggerated a but I'm sure but you get the point), and it carried a mean punch.

Thanks for the "Hailstone" images and story - I'm researching for a book on SWPA/Rabaul.
Any other info would be appreciated. I've got lots of info re Feb 17 & 18 attacks, now to follow up your dates.

Maybe something like this...

Thars an S-2, now to find a C-1 with the same paint scheme to sell it.
