Vintage shots from days gone by!

Formation flight, just after takeoff out of Laredo TX. We were on our way to Hamilton AFB, north of San Francisco. The crappy optics are because of the distortion caused by the angle of the shot.

 

Convair F102 landing at Moose Jaw, after recovering from a compressor stall and flame out at 41,000 ft while doing an attack on a B52. We were seconds from ejecting at 10,000 ft after attempting relights all the way down, when the engine finally lit. We knew it was our lucky day, and drank a lot of beer that night. It would have been a long, cold, night in the badlands had the engine not re-lit.
