That last shot could be Edwards or Oxnard/Camarillo. There are/were some big hangars at oxnard from when they had fighters based there. Some of the QRA type hangars are still there & can be seen in some cheapo movie about an F117 going back in time & being used by the Luftwaffe :rolleyes: . I think there are 3 of those standing.
Those aren’t in the pics tho as they are at the end of the filed, not the middle so I’m inclined to think that last pic could be Edwards.. except for those fuel pumps…. :confused: never seen those at a US AFB…
The mystery continues….

The photo was actually taken at Edwards AFB on 19 May 1968.

Really? when did they demolish that hill in the background? I can see Edwards from where I’m sat, I can’t see that hill tho. :confused: You are talking about the first pic in this thread?
The other thing that makes it doubtful being Edwards is the amount of grass & the trees. Edwards had a major shortage of both.

Around these parts they operate as Southern Air Transport… if ya walk across the ramp down there in Az there’s a line painted on the concrete out front of their facility, when you wander over the line armed guards appear & escort you back over the line….

I have it noted from a slide that MK923 was wearing the marks ‘OO-ARY’ at Oxnard , California in 1968 .

Sure looks like Oxnard given the local geography…. that bloody great hill in the background when all about is flatter than a pancake..

Oscar if you get the chance go fly with the Mustang guys at the airshows. I know of a certain A-26 driver who was a little pissed when he asked if he could fly with the fighters because the bombers were killing him and his answer from a smart arsed Corsair driver was “If you can hang with us, then you can fly with us”. The story goes that all he saw behind him was black and blue A-26 everywhere he went. I’ve also seen that same A-26 and driver out run Howard Pardue in the Bearcat. Howard got tired of trying to catch her and decided to form up on the DC-3 instead.

We took Feeding Frenzy to madera a few years back & on the Sunday wwe were taking off while there were 2 B25’s & 7 Mustangs in the circuit. Caught & passed one B25 right in the midle of the flightline while the other B25 was downwind. Caught & passed 3 mustangs flying formation while chasing the 2nd B25 (Executive Suite). Caught & passed him (blowing the fabric off one of the B25’s ailerons on the process…) & then set about catching the the remaining 4 Mustangs. At this point a voice from the tower cut short the fun with “Hey! knock it off! this isn’t Reno!” :confused: :diablo: :diablo: :diablo: :diablo:

Take the single seater to Reno…. 😉

Do they still call him “whisky jack”?

So he doesn’t loop it these days? :confused: remember that pic in WWW?
