Vintage shots from days gone by!

These are from a recent addition to the Mojave Air and Space Port Archive. They were taken on Edwards AFB. Looks like there was a Model A club on base at one time and its members had enough pull to set up a neat event. Not happening in this day and age.

 

No clue if anyone in these is Chuck Yeager, but it looks like the squadron Model A may have still been a thing at the time of this deal.

 

Last ones

 

F-104 in the picture. Google the history of the airplane and, particularly, the sale of a bunch of them to Germany.

 

Crazy Ford guys ....Just look at the mess ...Here ...Let me help you clean up all this junk.!!

 

At the time his autobiography came out, wasn't the Model A that he owned still on base? It had been passed down from airman to airman for years. Cool story, great book. Been a while since I read it though.

 

No clue on His Model A's location at that time. It's probably long gone now.
They just broke ground on a new Museum outside of the Edwards main gate, where the general public will be able to enjoy. Yeagers Model A or a replica of it would be a really cool thing to have there. It'll probably never happen though.

 

...of "Horton Hears a Who" fame...

 

Is THIS a hot rod or what?

 

real Life WONDER YEARS

I'll clean up the items along the back wall and you can have the rest.....
